I don't really understand this show and what the beat the clock challenge was all about. but i am annoyed coming off the biggest win of zigglers career he loses to sheamus and orton the next week.
So they had a beat the clock challenge over nothing?
Kaitlyn joining Beth and Natalya? They've turned the Divas of Distruction into boxy blondes.
Cody on commentary should be good, even Bryan vs Cody even though it ends in DQ, glad we'll finally get his match with Booker at the PPV.
Some good stuff here but seems like an annoying show.
Kaitlyn joining the Divas of Doom, boo! She doesn't have the respect and history Beth and Natayla have.She won't get a pop at all.I guess AJ will join Kelly, Eve, Alicia now.I wonder what will Kharma will do when she returns, kill everyone, I hope so!
Opening was good and Rhodes interrupting Lillian was funny, good to see Lillian back though.
Barrett/Zeke was ok but the clock challenge stuff was pointless. Bryan's promo was awesome as was his and Cole's shouting match, we saw Bryan lose his temper, a different side to him and it came off well. Rhodes' cheap shot on him looked awesome.
Ryder over Slater was good. I really like Otunga I know most people don't but his gimmick has grown on me. I love the way he puts his hands behind his back when he comes out. Was a bit silly he lost so quick and Hornswoggle can fuck off. Hornswoggle is the worst WWE character of all time imo. Arskana looking at Rhodes would be cool if she became his heel manager/girlfriend character. Would really add something to Rhodes gimmick. Have to say Rhodes has impressed the shit out of me this year, definitely the most improved superstar of the year and hopefully he wins multiple world championship titles throughout his career. Main event just seemed to be the typical Orton match where the one rare time Orton puts something over he has to beat them again the next week. IMO the guy is good but not THAT good, I hate the way the WWE put him and Cena on a pedestal. Plus Orton has the stupidest voice in the WWE does nobody else pick up on that? He sounds like a complete twat in every interview with that deep annoying drawl.
