WWE SmackDown: Friday 25th February 2011...I do like the recurring graphics for RAW and SmackDown. Christian in the ring to kick off the show was smartest I will admit. He returned at Elimination Chamber, he should have been featured to kick off the fallout episode of SmackDown. Nice promo with Alberto Del Rio, I can imagine we're getting Edge, Del Rio and Christian involved in the World Heavyweight Championship match at WrestleMania XXVII. Like Edge/Del Rio was booked to be important as it was...Please avoid adding Christian to that match, but I'm not sure how you can go five weeks of build with no physical contact involved. Happy to see Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel beating Big Show and Kofi Kingston: Slater and Gabriel are the best team in the company right now. Liked Gabriel pinning Kingston too, it just made the WWE Intercontinental Champion look weak as hell, especially after facing Alberto Del Rio five days earlier. Hopefully Big Show has some support against the Corre. I feel you pulled the trigger too soon, should be interesting what you actually do in five weeks build. Beth Phoenix beating Layla is acceptable, at least Beth is competing again here. I'm expecting a Laycool disbanding for WrestleMania currently, unless Trish Stratus gets involved. Rey Mysterio beating Jack Swagger is fine, very good match here to close the first hour. I don't see the point in promoting next week's scenario for SmackDown with Cody Rhodes 'retirement' before this week's SmackDown. Should have given us the segment tonight. More dissension in Drew McIntyre and Kelly Kelly amuses me. I see a McIntyre push this spring. Looking forward to RAW's main event, but it won't be too brilliant a match. Should have had Kelly Kelly face Vickie Guerrero earlier in the night. Obvious that Kelly would win as she needs it. Vickie being fired is cool, but should have been done earlier in the show because here it is crammed up with Edge and Christian going up against each other. Big main event, liked the attack by Alberto Del Rio but him attacking Edge was weird. A decent episode overall, some interesting developments.

Enjoyed the opening segment, hopefully Christian gets added into that match. Not sure how I feel about Del Rio going against the ban, though. Cody's retirement will be interesting.

The opening promo was pretty weak up until Alberto interrupting if I'm honest. I dig Edge and Christian getting promo time, but I just don't think you utilised it very well. That, and I don't think Edge and Del Rio are heated enough rivals for Edge to be expressing hate. Del Rio's part in the promo was the best part, but again, the pormo went a bit downhill again, at least to me, when T-Lo came out, as a face vs. face encounter of Edge and Christian that's just been hyped up by Edge for later on his reign is being given now? Not really digging it. Glad you put in a no-contact rule though, as that's something that the feud really needs. Kingston looking incredibly weak there after losing to Del Rio at the weekend and now to Gabriel. However, I will say that the match was a great choice to start the broadcast. Corre vs. Show is a lock for Mania, and I wonder if you'll bring in an ally for Show like the WWE has seemingly with Kane. Personally I'd like to see Diesel come in, but that's just me. Vickie vs. Kelly needs to happen to be the end of this horrendous feud between them. Phoenix over Layla is an alright move, gives Beth some more cred. I like the fact you re-capped Mistico's signing, and followed it up with Rey Mysterio. Not sure if it was intentional, but i thought it was clever, and would've definitely helped bring in the Latin demographic that Rey (and soon Mistico) is there to appeal to. I thought we would be seeing the Cody segment this week, dissapointed that it has been pushed from the show. Should be a fun part of next week's show though. Drew and Kelly I'm not liking if i'm honest, and that's not so much you're fault as WWE's. i just see it as pointless, and making the show seem a lot more soapy than it needs to be. Two SmackDown! superstars being hyped to appear on RAW? I would say that's not a good move, but it's Kane vs. Undertaker, and very close to Wrestlemania. To me, it would help sell the event to older fans, which would be great for WWE. Look forward to seeing that on RAW. I will say you're doing a good job of hyping events for the reader to want to see unfold the next week. I hope the partner will be Diesel in the handicap match for reasons I've stated above. Vickie being fired after losing the match suggests to me that she'll be following Dolph over to RAW. I expected Edge vs. Christian to end with Alberto interfering. I see some form of sanction to be placed on Alberto for what he did to Edge, perhaps leading to Christian being added to the match up, though I hope you don't go down that route, since it just seems a little lazy and unimaginative. A good edition of SmackDown! here, just feel you're not quite getting the booking right with the main event at the moment.

RAW kicks off with a huge pyro-technics display as the camera pans around the HSBC Arena. Jerry Lawler and Josh Matthews welcome us to tonight's edition of RAW. They hype our main event, with a graphic appearing on screen, as The Undertaker's return to action against Kane!
A replay from last week's RAW is shown of John Cena's rapping in response to comments made previously by The Rock.
John Cena defeats Ted DiBiase (with Maryse) with the Attitude Adjustment.
After the match, the WWE Champion The Miz appears with Alex Riley. Miz proclaims himself to be better than both The Rock and John Cena, and states that despite the many reigns of both men as WWE Champion, Miz is the greatest WWE Champion of all time. He says that he actually finds it quite comical how Rock and Cena are taking shots at each other and not doing anything about it. The Miz takes action and would have beaten both men to a pulp by now. Miz warns Cena that he's going off course and he has no chance of being victorious at WrestleMania because of his infatuation with The Rock. Cena hits back harshly, telling The Miz straight - he is focused on one thing and on one thing only and that is winning the WWE Championship. And, he guarantees that at WrestleMania he will accomplish that. Cena's music hits and he engages in staredown with Miz as we head into the break.
A commercial airs for "The Chaperone", starring WWE Superstar Triple H. Available on Blu-Ray and DVD on March 8.
King Sheamus is in the ring, ready for his match. The General Manager's laptop recieves a message, which Lawler reads. The GM states that this match will be the first Money in the Bank qualifying match for WrestleMania 27. And, Sheamus' opponent is the returning Evan Bourne!
Evan Bourne defeats King Sheamus with Air Bourne to qualify for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Daniel Bryan comes out and causes Sheamus to become distracted, allowing Bourne to take control and ultimately pick up the win.
WWE Did You Know? - Last week's episode of Smackdown was the most watched show on SyFy in 3 years.
Michael Cole is seen backstage with The Miz and Alex Riley. Cole says Miz was absolutely right in what he said to John Cena earlier tonight and he will beat him at WrestleMania. Neither The Rock nor Cena can even touch The Miz. The WWE Champion asks what Cole is going to do about Jerry Lawler and whether he needs any "assistance". However, Cole says he'll be fine. He's going to respond to Lawler TONIGHT!
The Bella Twins defeat WWE Diva's Champion Eve Torres and Gail Kim when Nikki planted Gail with a Sitout Facebuster after switching places with Brie.
A replay is shown of Michael Cole's backstage revelation that he will respond to Jerry Lawler's WrestleMania challenge tonight! Also tonight, The Undertaker returns to action one week after reappearing on RAW, taking on his brother, Kane.
Lawler and Matthews discuss this at ringside. Lawler hopes Cole will be a man and accept. They run down the WrestleMania card as it currently looks as we head into a promotional video package..
A video package airs hyping WrestleMania 27 live from Atlanta, GA on April 3. The video features the official theme song for the event, "Written in the Stars" by Tinie Tempah.
John Morrison defeats CM Punk via disqualification to qualify for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match Randy Orton hits the ring, staring into the eyes of a shocked CM Punk. However, Orton turns and drops Morrison with an RKO to give him the win and pass into Money in the Bank.
This causes Punk to go ballistic, but only until he realises he is now prey for the Viper. Punk begs for mercy as he crawls away from Orton. Luckily for Punk, Mason Ryan and David Otunga hit the ring and attack Orton. It's not an effective attack, as Orton drops both men with an RKO. Punk is given the chance to escape up the ramp. Orton takes a mic and says that he is going to teach Punk that some things are best left forgotten. If Punk really thinks something that happened over 2 years ago is worth messing with him, then more power to him, but rest assured, Orton will make his life a living hell. He issues a challenge to Punk for a match at WrestleMania. Punk chooses not to answer and heads backstage.
During the commercial break, a limo is shown to have pulled up in the parking lot. Who is inside?
Matt Striker interviews a very angry Sheamus backstage. The Celtic Warrior promises to end Daniel Bryan's career. He says he "should have stayed down".
We see a Hall of Fame Class of 2011 induction announcement.. click here to see the inductees!
Michael Cole is heading towards the ring. He will respond to Jerry Lawler next!
We open up after the break with Michael Cole in the ring demanding for everyone's attention. Cole says he wants to remind everyone that he is not a professional athlete, but a top journalist and does not belong in the ring. This is something Jerry Lawler cannot obviously comprehend, but.. "whatever". Cole says as a journalist it's his job to do research, to learn, to gather information. He cannot be matched in his skills in his field. Cole says he's going to apply these skills to his training for his match against Lawler. He accepts! The crowd pops now that the match will go ahead. Cole says that he will learn from the best superstars, the best contacts he has, study Lawler's matches and identify his weaknesses. And at WrestleMania, by God, he will make Lawler wish he'd left RAW years ago. Lawler is smiling the whole time. He tells Cole he looks forward to beating the hell out of him. The General Manager's laptop recieves a message. Josh Matthews reads a major announcement regarding next week's RAW. The contract signing for Michael Cole vs. Jerry Lawler will take place next week on RAW, and will be overseen by none other than... The Rock! Cole doesn't look too thrilled, but Lawler does.
A video package airs for WWE's newest signing - Sin Cara.
We're shown a recap from before the break, where Michael Cole accepted Jerry Lawler's WrestleMania challenge. Not only that, but next week their official contract signing will take place and will be overseen by the WrestleMania Guest Host, The Rock!
Drew McIntyre defeats Santino Marella (with Vladimir Kozlov) to qualify for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match following the Future Shock DDT.
Up next, The Undertaker returns to action one week after reappearing on RAW, taking on his brother, Kane.
A commercial airs for "The Chaperone", starring WWE Superstar Triple H. Available on Blu-Ray and DVD on March 8.
The Undertaker defeats Kane with a Chokeslam.
The Undertaker celebrates following his huge victory over his brother. However, his interuptions are cut short.. he is interupted by the returning Triple H. The crowd goes crazy for the Game, the former 13-time WWE Champion. Triple H stands on the rampway, different colours flashing around him in the darkness. He does not take his eyes off of the Deadman. He points towards the WrestleMania marque. The Undertaker turns to look at it too. After a brief moment, he turns towards Triple H, rolls his eyes back into his head, and does his "cut throat" taunt. Has Triple H just challenged The Undertaker to a match at WrestleMania? And has The Undertaker just accepted that challenge? Lawler and Matthews sign off to end this week's episode of RAW.

WWE RAW: Monday 28th February 2011...The momentum's starting to build on this diary, just keep it stable for another month at least, but I'd love to see this diary stick around for a few months. Surprised by John Cena squashing Ted Dibiase in the opening contest, but it made sense. Liked The Miz and Alex Riley building their storyline immediately afterwards, good promo preparing their rivalry. Evan Bourne beating King Sheamus is a shameful thing (aha). I hope Sheamus gets back in the picture though, he'd be a great Money in the Bank winner. I hate the 'King' gimmick. Daniel Bryan's involvement is interesting, hopefully not a WrestleMania match, as that would be so stuck in with bigger matches. Good idea to have Money in the Bank still around too. The Bella Twins beating Eve and Gail Kim is alright. Nikki and Brie aren't actually that bad workers. Well, as bad as some. John Morrison beating CM Punk was the better option, Punk will obviously be involved with Randy Orton somehow. Morrison needs to actually win this year. We need some original MITB competitors; not just a rehash of everybody that's been in 2008, 2009 and 2010's matches. Liked Orton clearing the ring of the Nexus, but their rivalry is pretty hard to make more original, or more interesting than 'Orton overcoming the odds'. Ah good, the Fabulous Freebirds inducted. This pleases me. Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler taking place on RAW I am pleased. The Rock appearing? Impressive! Looking forward to it. Sounded like a heated promo. Like the history involved too. Drew McIntyre beating Santino Marella is fine, but McIntyre on RAW...should've been saved for SmackDown. McIntyre is an early contender to win the briefcase. The Undertaker beating Kane is the better option. Nice aftermath segment too, liked Triple H and The Undertaker setting up WrestleMania XXVII in similar fashion to what happened in real life, excellent return scenario for HHH too. A packed show this week, very impressed.

A decent start to the show with John Cena defeating Ted DiBiase. Doesn't really seem likely for DiBiase to have this kind of match on Raw tbh. Good promo from The Miz following the match, with some great points concerning Cena's focus. Great return for Evan Bourne over Sheamus, qualifying for the MITB Ladder Match. Daniel Bryan costing Sheamus the match can certainly lead to some interesting things. Don't care at all for The Bellas, so for them to go over Eve and Gail isn't really something I favor. Morrison qualifying over CM Punk made the most sense, seeing as how Punk will most likely battle Orton at Mania. Loved the finish with Orton RKO'ing Morrison to give him the victory. Seems very Orton-ish. Would've liked to have seen Otunga and Ryan actually have an affect on Orton rather than him just overcoming them like nothing. Makes The New Nexus look weak. Great to see The Fabulous Freebirds announced as the newest inductees into the HoF. The Rock being the overseer for the Lawler/Cole contract is interesting, could see The Miz using this to meet The Rock face to face. Glad that Drew qualified for MITB over Santino, as the other way around would've been incredibly dire. Great main event with The Undertaker defeating Kane, finally getting the better of him. Triple H returning and confronting The Undertaker is epic and I really can't wait for their bout at 'Mania. A very solid show.

-John Cena over Ted DiBiase is a great start. I hope that DiBiase can gain relevance soon though. -Morrison and Bourne are both great competitors here. I see Morrison winning and coming into a main eventer. -Cole and Lawler going into battle at WM should be decent. I don't see this being a battle for real though. I'd go with the McMahon/Trump storyline where they pick representatives with some kind of stip. Either way it'll be good though. -The Undertaker going over and finally winning was great. And now he can move to other things. -Great show.

Not surprised about Cena getting the win to kick off the show. Considering it is a weak match for Cena, it was actually a good idea to kick off the show with him, get the crowd excited for the rest of it. Bourne getting in the MITB is great. I doubt he has a realistic shot of winning it, but I can expect to see some crazy spots from the former Matt Sydal. Didn’t like Punk involved in the MITB, mainly because he is tied up with Orton for Mania. No need for that, I thought. I do hope we get a Morrison/Orton match next week or something and you don’t just ignore that Orton still attacked him. A good segment announcing the Rock returning next week. Glad to see Drew is in the MITB match. If Edge retains, I would like to see a Drew/Edge feud. I’m sure Taker/Kane would have sucked belong belief, but it is a decent television main event. The closing to the show was pretty predictable to hype up Taker/HHH. Overall, productive show and enjoyable for the most part.

- WWE.com, 4/3/2011 - Smackdown Preview
Tonight on Friday Night Smackdown, the WWE Universe will hear "Dashing" Cody Rhodes no-doubt heart-felt retirement speech. One must speculate if this announcement is due to injuries suffered at the hands of Rey Mysterio, or possibly other reasons? What is in the futures of both men?
Plus, rumours are rampant that Smackdown General Manager Theodore Long will address Alberto Del Rio's blatent disregarding of his "No-Physical Contact" ruling between himself and Edge before WrestleMania. Is punishment looming for the Mexican Aristocrat?
Also, we will see a bounty of top match-ups tonight as the World Heavyweight Champion Edge faces Corre member Wade Barrett, and more qualifying matches will take place for the career-altering Money in the Bank Ladder Match at WrestleMania!
Fridays 8/7 CT on SyFy | Available in WWEHD

First off, format and graphics are absolutely beautiful. You may be the best to ever grace the boards graphics wise and one of the best bookers as well. That Cody Rhodes graphic is ridiculous also. On to Raw, No surprise with Cena going over Dibiase here and I am anticipating the return of the Deadman! Nice little Cena/Miz confrontation to reinforce that they are indeed squaring off at 'Mania. Bourne in the MITB! Sa-wheet! No, I didn't know that little factoid. Ugh, throw-away Divas match. Morrison/Bourne so far? This is shaping up to be excellent and Orton/Punk should be also. LIMO! Sheamus/Bryan feud, definitely sign me up. Sheamus is better than people claim. FREEBIRDS~! ROCK ROCK ROCK! Thats a good way to bring him onto live tv to confront Cena definitely. Meh, McIntyre yawn. Happy you went Taker/Game for Mania. Should be an excellent event and this diary is going swimmingly right now my friend. Keep it up, I'll be reading & replying.

Raw, The Undertaker versus Kane is a huge Main Event. John Cena defeating Ted DiBiase was necessary in the opening contest, followed by a decent segment between himself and The Miz. Pleased to see that Evan Bourne returns and defeats Sheamus, and with Daniel Bryan's assistance, makes it seem like you're going for the Bryan/Sheamus WrestleMania match. I am actually enjoying this small push The Bellas are getting, so a good victory for them here. A disqualification victory for John Morrison makes him look a bit weak, but does help to build the CM Punk/Randy Orton feud. Loving the idea of a Contract Signing between Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler, and The Rock overseeing definitely hints towards a John Cena interaction. Drew McIntyre qualifying for the Money in the Bank Ladder match is for the best, since he has nothing else to do. The Undertaker defeating Kane was obvious, to close the chapter on that feud and give The Deadman his return victory. Triple H versus Undertaker has to happen in any 2011 diary, it's just too big to be passed up, and you pulled it off great. A great show, can't wait for SmackDown.

Smackdown kicks off with a huge pyro-technics display as the camera pans around the Quicken Loans Arena. Michael Cole, Josh Matthews and Booker T welcome us to tonight's edition of Smackdown, hyping World Heavyweight Champion Edge vs. Wade Barrett, plus "Dashing"Cody Rhodes retirement speech.
Ricardo Rodriguez introduces the Number One Contender to the World Heavyweight Championship, the Mexican Aristocrat, Alberto Del Rio. He enters in a flash car to the sea of boos from tonight's crowd. Once in the ring, Del Rio begins speaking about how the whole structure of Smackdown stinks. From the peasants at the bottom of the ladder such as Christian, to the undeserving and soon-to-be ex-Champions such as Edge, to the idiots in power like Theodore Long. Del Rio claims that he is above any ruling Theodore Long makes, which is why he attacked Edge and Christian last week (a replay is shown of this). Del Rio says that he is only giving the fans a preview of what will happen at WrestleMania when Edge's falls and his abismal reign ends. Then, the reign of Alberto Del Rio, the soon-to-be greatest World Heavyweight Champion of all-time, will begin. Theodore Long interupts Del Rio, which seriously angers him. Long tells Del Rio that he is just the same as every other Smackdown Superstar and he will follow his orders like the rest of them. He is better than nobody. In fact, seeing as Edge currently holds the gold, he is in a better position than Del Rio. This forces a quick denial out of Del Rio, who says he will break Edge's arm and then they'd see who was in a better position. Long says that Del Rio blatently broke his rules and ignored his authority and will now have to face the consequences. He can expect two punishments, one for each Superstar he attacked last week. The first will be a one-on-one match with "Captain Charisma" Christian tonight. If Del Rio wins, he will avoid the second punishment. If Christian gets the victory, well, Long tells Del Rio to expect to see him later on! Long's music hits, his job done. Del Rio is fuming in the ring.
We see a RAW Recap video, including the in-ring return of The Undertaker against Kane, and the start of qualification matches for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston defeats Curt Hawkins with Trouble In Paradise to qualify for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
We immediately go backstage where Kofi Kingston has arrived following his victory and subsequent qualification into the Money in the Bank Ladder Match at WrestleMania. However, the smile is soon wiped off is face when he is surprisingly attacked by Drew McIntyre. The Sinister Scotsman beats the living hell out of Kofi as WWE officials and personnel try to put an end to the beating. McIntyre leaves eventually with a crazed look on his face.
Coming up later tonight, we will see Christian taking on Alberto Del Rio. Will Del Rio face his second punishment from General Manager Theodore Long?
LayCool defeat Diva's Champion Eve Torres and Gail Kim when Michelle McCool pinned Gail with the Faith Breaker.
A graphic hypes World Heavyweight Champion Edge vs. Wade Barrett, coming up next.
A video package airs for WWE's newest signing - Sin Cara.
WWE Did You Know - Smackdown was the top show on cable television last week, beating all other shows on TNT, Disney, TBS, A&E, Bravo, USA and ESPN.
We see a recap of RAW's announcement of the next Hall of Fame Class of 2011 inductees.. click here to see the inductees!
World Heavyweight Champion Edge defeats Wade Barrett with the Spear.
Following the match, the rest of the Corre head towards the ring as Barrett assaults Edge. However, they're cut off by the Big Show. He takes them out on the ramp. Barrett escapes from the ring before Show gets to him. Show takes a mic and announces that his partner for WrestleMania will be here next week.
Coming up next, "Dashing" Cody Rhodes will officially announce his retirement.
"Dashing" Cody Rhodes comes out, wearing his protective face mask, ready to make his retirement speech. He seems wary of the crowd looking at him and tries not to make eye contact with the fans or the cameras. In the ring, Rhodes takes a mic and first requests that the lights be dimmed so he can "retain some dignity". Rhodes talks about his career, saying it has always been a passion of his. He knows he is talented. He knows he has what it takes to be the best. However, that's all been cruelly snatched away from him by Rey Mysterio. The footage is shown of Mysterio's 619 that injured Rhodes' face. Rhodes tears up a little as he prepares to announce his retirement.. from modelling. That's right. Rhodes is retiring from modelling. He says he saw all the speculation leading up to this announcement that his wrestling career was over, but that will never be over until he destroys Rey Mysterio's career, Rey Mysterio's life, Rey Mysterio's face. It's at this point that Mysterio comes out to a decent pop. Mysterio tells Rhodes that what happened was an accident. He can dwell on it all he wants but that fact will never change. Mysterio says that they didn't get on at all but he is an athlete just like Rhodes, and he's sorry that he's in the position he is in now. Rhodes immediately bashes Mysterio in the head with the mic, hating that Mysterio is pitying him. Rhodes savagely beats Rey up on the mat, pounding right hands into his head. Blood is seen dripping from Mysterio's lip. Rhodes tries to remove Mysterio's mask in the chaos, but settles for a few more cheap shots. Rhodes looks down on Rey, beaten and blooded underneath his torn up mask as we head to a commercial.
LayCool are seen backstage with Teddy Long. They demand that they have a WrestleMania match because they're "the greatest Diva's in sports entertainment history". Long says he's intrigued by their statement and will arrange something for them, putting a smile on both Layla's and Michelle's faces.
A replay is shown of the incident that took place before the break. The announcers reveal that Cody Rhodes has been escorted from the premises.
Cole, Booker and Matthews run down the current WrestleMania card as it currently looks as we head into a promotional video package..
A video package airs hyping WrestleMania 27 live from Atlanta, GA on April 3. The video features the official theme song for the event, "Written in the Stars" by Tinie Tempah.
Coming up later tonight, we will see Christian taking on Alberto Del Rio. Will Del Rio face his second punishment from General Manager Theodore Long?
Jack Swagger defeats United States Champion Daniel Bryan with the Swagger Bomb to qualify for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Swagger picks up the win following interference from King Sheamus.
After the match, Sheamus gets in Bryan's face and tells him that he has now chosen to make his own life a living nightmare.
Backstage, we see the Corre walking into Theodore Long's office. Barrett demands that Long book him in a match next week against Big Show's mystery partner. Long says he's yet to find out who he is, but he's not gonna pass up the opportunity for what should no doubt be a great match. Long books it, and pleases Barrett. Long warns the Corre not to be too arrogant, because knowing Big Show, he will pick a VERY strong partner.
Elsewhere, we see Christian taping his wrists ahead of his match with Alberto Del Rio. Edge walks in the room and shakes Christian's hand. The World Champion says he hopes Christian wins because he knows what Teddy Long is up to, and he approves. He wishes Christian luck before he leaves. The match is next!
A commercial airs for "The Chaperone", starring WWE Superstar Triple H. Available on Blu-Ray and DVD on March 8.
Christian defeats Alberto Del Rio with the Killswitch following botched interference by Ricardo Rodriguez.
Del Rio is on his knees, exhausted and angered at his loss. Rodriguez tries to apologise but is completely ignored by Del Rio as Teddy Long makes his way out. Long says he promised punishment and he will deliver. He looked into it but he admits that he can't take away Alberto Del Rio's title shot at WrestleMania. The crowd boos as Del Rio smiles and motions for the belt round his waist. BUT... Long says he can make it harder for Del Rio to win the belt.. by adding a third participant. With this latest win, Christian has just inserted himself into the World Heavyweight Title match at WrestleMania! The crowd goes wild! Christian is all smiles on the ramp, turning back to look at Del Rio punching the ring canvas. "Captain Charisma" holds his hand above his eyes as he looks up towards the WrestleMania marque. He's heading for Atlanta, to WrestleMania, to the main event!

-Great way to open up the show with Del Rio. Wonder what will be the punishment if Del Rio loses. -Kingston going over Hawkins was quite obvious there. McIntyre attacking Kingston after commercial is good as well. -LayCool going over Eve and Kim is good. -Edge going over Barrett for first hour main event is nice. Big Show coming for the save is good. Wonder who his partner will be. -Rhodes promo announcing his career in modelling is good. Him assaulting Mysterio should advance their feud. -Swagger going over Bryan because of Sheamus is a good call. This advances their feud as well. -Christian going over Del Rio because of is good. Christian being added to the Mania match is great.
Overall, great edition of SD, can't wait until Mania.

WWE SmackDown: Friday 4th March 2011..Alberto Del Rio in the ring to kick off the show was decent, just basically setting up what he wants to do at WrestleMania XXVII to Edge. Christian and Del Rio tonight should be cool. Kofi Kingston beating Curt Hawkins is alright, I'm glad that we finally get to see Hawkins on the show especially. Didn't expect to see him beat Kofi Kingston though. Kofi is a top contender for the Money in the Bank ladder match this year, his third year entry in a row. I'd love to see Hawkins involved with SmackDown more often. Drew McIntyre attacking Kofi pleases me, I'd love for you to build McIntyre up better than last year. Laycool beating Eve and Gail Kim is fine, strong divas encounter. Edge beating Wade Barrett is cool, decent bout that should have been the main event. I do like how Big Show made the save for Edge from the Corre, have to say though, you need to somehow make Show and Corre's feud actually interesting to me. Cody Rhodes retiring is cool, liked Rey Mysterio trying to justify himself, Rhodes beating him down was so predictable, liked how he made Rey bleed beneath his mask too. Heated encounter. Cody needs to win at WrestleMania, it would make him look so good against Mysterio. Jack Swagger beating Daniel Bryan is fine, a solid match, but I wish Swagger was doing something else. Let's face it - he won Money in the Bank last year and didn't go that far. Lastly, Christian had to beat Alberto Del Rio, great main event and I liked the ending to the show. It was a stacked show overall. Also WWE Superstars: it's filmed for Thursday 10th March 2011? Next week? Weird.
