Seems like an alright show i guess.
I don't like Bryan losing to Sheamus again beings Bryan will be challenging for the WWE title soon.
Glad Ziggler got to be on TV this week. but they are still miss using him.
I like that Kofi & Truth get a win. im hoping they will have tag matches every week from now on on SD and or Raw.
Should be nice to see Sandows promo and how the crowed reacts. I Feel bad for Bateman though.
No Claudio or Young & O'Neil this week it seems. im guessing they will be in some backstage Segment.
No sign of Mark Henry this week
A few more details from a report I read on wrestlezone:
- Josh Matthews is back.
- "Sheamus said he loves to fight (a promo straight out of Finlay's playbook) so when Daniel Bryan asked for a rematch he simply answered "YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!" [Cue loud "YES!" chants from the Toledo crowd.] Out came Daniel Bryan. Sheamus continued "YESing" through Bryan's entrance. "
- "Ziggler took what looked like a hellacious bump from Brodus's running headbutt on the outside apron by the announce table. Dolph, again, sells like a champ. "
- "Sandow entered to Leonard Cohen's classical music piece "Hallelujah." Funny stuff. He responded to a "WHAT?" crowd chant with "Thank you for your irrelevant contribution." He said he wouldn't indulge the WWE Universe or Bateman (whom he called a "miscreant") with a match. Sandow left. "You're welcome." Bateman demanded an opponent nonetheless. He got one...it was Ryback."
- "Backstage, Matt Striker caught up with Sheamus, who sported a heavily-taped shoulder and said he "came here to fight." Striker concluded that it looks like they'll have their match after all."
- "Backstage, Eve directed the publicity photo shoot for Antonio Cesaro and Aksana and said something was missing. She said Cesaro looked too "dry" and asked for him to be oiled up. She told a staffer lady not to do it, instead demanding that Teddy apply the oil. He resisted at first, but after being told by Eve that he hadn't done anything all day, he gave in and rubbed down Cesaro."
- "After the break, Kaitlyn told AJ she needed to stop having a pity party for herself. AJ delivered a hard slap to Kaitlyn that floored her."
Seems like a good show. Looking forward to Sandow. We'll see how Sheamus/Bryan plays out twice in one night. I don't understand what WWE's obsession is with breaking people's arms this week lol.
