Santino? In an elimination chamber title match?!

Jesus f*cking wept!

I hope they have Santino win, even if Bryan wins it back the following Smackdown with a rematch clause.

Ha, awesome. Tbh, I was afraid Orton was going to win the chamber, and this makes me pretty sure Bryan will. Santino will likely get the biggest reaction in that chamber.

Though, I'll call it now and say someone "Kofi's" Santino, attacks and replaces him. Maybe Christian? Then we get Christian vs Sheamus at Mania?

yeah i have a feeling that will happen! sure they are reusing an old bit but sure that happened more than three weeks ago so it doesnt count!

Sheamus going crazy on Bryan after DB spat on Sheamus sounds like a clue as to who will be facing off at Mania.

The other clues are Bryan has survived Show and Henry while getting a heel push. This in turn should make people want him to lose to the huge face that is Sheamus. As Bryan has mixed it with the big guys in recent months he won't look out of place against a big guy like Sheamus.

Christian on the other hand was already soundly beaten by Sheamus three matches in a row (including two PPVs) and hasn't been on tv in months.

if WWE are using any logic it has to be Sheamus v Bryan.

Daniel Bryan beat Sheamus by DQ when Sheamus went crazy on Bryan. Bryan spit in Sheamus' face which caused him to go crazy. Sheamus pushed the referee which caused the DQ.

Sounds the same as what Christian did to Orton last year

Yeah Bryan has so many of these DQ finishes they aren`t even original. Maybe i`m being harsh but this looks like a smackdown to Sky+ and fast forward through.

Bryan seems to becoming more like the heel Christian was so makes me wonder when Christian returns could there a face turn for him, I dont care either way as long as he is back

Is Big Show heel now or what?

Would be good craic with Santino in the chamber,but I reckon Christian will be involved somehow!

I can see him going heel if he's wrestling Shaqueel O'Niell at Wrestlemania.

I think myself they seem to be pushing Bryan similar to CM Punk when he had the Straight Edge Society, with his preaching of his views and beliefs. I can see him having a posse of Vegans soon! (he already has his diva addition in AJ)

He even has the Cult Leader beard going on!

Santino Marella won a battle royal to replace Randy Orton in the SmackDown Elimination Chamber

That was an interesting Smackdown I have to say I was very underwhelmed by the whole run in to the chamber but anyway.
Bryans segment and match was the highlight of the show he's playing it well I'd like to see AJ start worshipping him and following him around it would work, well if not that a small group with him I like how cole is now less against him overall it was really of putting, The battle royal was ok Justin Gabriel is the Smackdown spot guy and I liked how Drew got eliminated, was disappointed that otunga didn't win especially with how he entered with JL

Mr.Nice Guy

I've decided after giving it some thought that Wade Barrett's new theme is a credible contender for worst theme song of all time. Not only is the song absolute horse sh*t, but it doesn't suit him remotely. It's something for a guy like Trent Barreta.

I liked his old theme but if they were intent on changing it then give him something menacing and edgy to reflect his character.

He's over 6 feet tall, a former bare-knuckle boxer with a booming English accent and they saddle him with this generic nu-metal crap rock? Arse biscuits.

NUTZZ

Thought that was quite an entertaining Smackdown!

smallerthanyou

I quite enjoyed it. Lots of wrestling, no pointless debate.

Ridley

Was that Byron Saxton playing Scared Security Guard #1?

Enjoyable show. Natalya had a pretty good showing with Alecia Fox, I thought. Shame Gabriel didn't get to the final four in the battle royale. Preferable over Jackson.

If WWE follow through with pairing Tyson Kidd and Trent Barreta there's a workable tag roster going on even if it's mostly hidden on Superstars and NXT.

Bryan Sheamus was a really good match. It had a nice high pace to it. The ending was done really really well.

I also enjoyed Tag team match. Matches featuring actual tag teams are so much better then the Cody Rhodes and three other tag team matches we normally see (And saw again).

I actually quite enjoy Primo and Epico. Loved the battle royale part where they worked together then Primo eliminated Epico when he wasn't looking

I'm fairly sure that in 8 weeks of holding the belt, Bryan has had only one clean ending to a match (at the rumble), has had no submissions, and his only pinfall was when he won the belt by running in while the Big Show was knocked out. So that means no pinfalls or submissions in an singles match so far.

Surely one of the weakest title reigns ever, so will be interesting to see what happens at the Elimination Chamber.
