Ryback def. Ari Cohen and Mike Testa
What I Liked:
The same match we have seen for three weeks. He adds a little new offense each time so it is not completely the same, but are we sick of this yet? Ryback is a freak of strength and speed. He needs to get away from the indy wrestlers.
What I Disliked:
If the WWE main roster is scared to be in the ring for health reasons, like we reported earlier this week, then why the hell would you bring him up? I would have kept him in FCW to work more, even NXT. There needs to be more and more very quickly. Time is ticking where people are not going to care whatsoever about him anymore.
Grade: C
Damien Sandow def. Tyson Kidd
What I Liked:
This is a good opponent for Sandow, one who is smaller and makes him look much stronger than usual. Sandow is not a freak of strength like Ryback, so his "squash" matches need to be booked more intelligently. I feel like Sandow is so good with timing and consistency in the ring. He hits only a few moves, but those moves are perfect for his overall character progress.
What I Disliked:
I almost feel like these two should have 5 minutes or so at No Way Out instead of on Smackdown. We have seen random matches on there before, and Sandow would benefit from the worldwide crowd who do not usually watch Smackdown to see him.
Grade; B-
