 Opening Segment
What I Liked:
The return of The Big Show was lackluster on Raw, but this made him more interesting. He immediately calls his shots, gets interrupted by Randy Orton, and puts himself into the main event picture. I thought he did a great job telling how dominant he has been, and what he needs to accomplish now. His interaction with Orton was well done, and I felt like Del Rio had to come out and put his two cents in. He has been the challenger for so long, it would not make sense without him here. Randy hit an RKO out of nowhere onto Del Rio, which does a great job to completely focus on Orton vs. Show for tonight.
What I Disliked:
I am not sure Big Show and Sheamus would be a great match, but we probably will get it anyways. I feel like Show is so good at Triple Threat matches because he is not the guy who HAS to carry the match. Maybe this would be a better idea, or even a Fatal Four Way.
Grade: B+
Antonio Cesaro Defeats Santino Marella
What I Liked:
This was actually one of more complete matches we have seen from Cesaro. He struggles a little getting out of the gates, as Marella takes control with a hip toss and a body slam. Cesaro would reverse Santino and really take control. He looked a little more physical and aggressive tonight than previous matches, and his finisher is a nice touch. It fits his character and is logically correct.
What I Disliked:
Will we actually get a feud for Cesaro anytime soon? We were teased with Brodus Clay, but where is that? I really do not think anybody wants to see this match over and over and over again. It shows some laziness with the Smackdown writers. I would rather see Ryder or some other popular face get the opportunity to fight Cesaro. Make it interesting and not the same thing each week.
Grade: B-
