Very solid Smackdown. The only feud that's dragging for me is Ziggler/Kalisto/Crews. I'd like to see Crews turn at Elimination Chamber to spice things up. More needs to be done with the tag division, but seeing the Ascension pick up the win was a welcome surprise. The opening fatal four way was excellent. While I don't expect anyone other than Cena or Wyatt to win the chamber match, it's really been built as an anyone could win match. Corbin is easily becoming a favourite of mine. Harper laying out Wyatt was also excellent to see. I'm still holding out for Miz vs Bryan at Wrestlemania. It's been building for months and months. Time for the pay off! They should just have Miz come out to open Mania, challenge Daniel and call him weak,etc...... Bryan accepts and then just hits his kick flurry and a flying knee to ride off into the sunset.

I just re-watched the ending. If they follow through with Luke Harper "breaking free" of whatever hold Wyatt had on him, his character can really go in any direction. Any drastic changes can be attributed to the fact he couldn't be himself before because of Wyatt. Give me Harper vs Wyatt vs Orton for the WWE Championship at Mania. Man I didn't even think of that. That would be great. I think they have something planned for Harper. I don't think it was planned but the slight nod Cena gave to Harper at the end of Smackdown was very telling in my opinion. He's gotten two really great reactions now when he's hit Bray. The one at the Rumble was insane. Clearly they can go somewhere with him if they chose too. I really hope they do have a plain for Luke Harper and this isn't a stupid swerve to trick Cena.

Surprised to see praise for that main event. It felt to me like a whole lot of nothing to set up the final two minutes. It demonstrated just how little chemistry Orton and Cena have. More importantly, it showed, once again, that Randy Orton just isn't very compelling as a wrestler. That's weird to say, because he looks like a star, carries himself like a star, and has smooth, professional looking matches, but he just falls short time and time again. All of his performances have a robotic, formulaic cadence that provide unintentional lulls.
At one point, I never would've thought such a thing, but he's been turning in disappointment after disappointment for years on end and I'm not sure why he continues to get a pass.

The main event seemed like them going through a bunch of nothing to get to the Harper spot. And a legit shiver went down my back when JBL said that we're possibly looking at the WM main event.

Last nights main event was awesome. I was into it before but when Harper came out and the whole Wyatt thing happened it took it to the next level.

And Orton putting on good matches lately is debatable.

The Fatal-4-Way was the best match of the night, but really, why does AJ have to take the pin there? The Miz has nothing to lose by being the guy who gets pinned and loses the match because he's just blah, and even if Ambrose gets pinned it sets up intrigue of a possible Corbin/Ambrose match down the line since he would have pinned the IC Champ. There's no good reason for AJ to take the pin there, IMO. He's now lost two of his last three matches on TV.

Aj getting pinned was the worst part of the night and i was there and the guy next to me had halitosis so bad i wanted to puke. Ps i started the we want Rhyno chant. I also shouted this is boring during the first match for 205 live bet that got editted out
