Title This: WWE Smackdown Reaction 3-2

Daniel Bryan def. Randy Orton by Countout

What I Liked:

I was very pleased to see Bryan control a good portion of the match and not easily escape with a victory. He needs to look stronger each week and his ability to ground and attack Orton this week showed they know this. Orton took a good beating early, but did not look weak because of who he is. They put on a great match together, given the length they had. I really thought Kane coming out to attack Orton was interesting, unexpected. We have our answer as to who Orton will feud with next, like it or not. I thought he came out, did what he needed to do with three more shows to go. Orton/Kane may get lost in the shuffle though.

What I Disliked:

Daniel Bryan gets another cheap victory. I just want a solid win for him against a solid opponent. Sheamus continues to beat great talent, so let Bryan do the same. Also, will Kane and Orton be with Team Long and Team Laurinaitis if they go that way, or will they get a one on one match. I hope Orton is not thrown in that match because he and Kane deserve a solid ten minutes. The only concern is a lack of history and story building in the final 3 weeks. We have seen much worse.
