Title This: WWE Smackdown “Great American Bash” Reaction

July 4, 2012

Zack Ryder wins the 20 Man Battle Royal

What I Liked:

This match was entertaining, but like every other Battle Royal. You had Big Show dominate the early going, having eliminated a few mid card heavyweights, and continue his power. Some of the superstars eliminated Khali, which was expected. You had Cena and Show compete in the ring to further their angle, as well as Kane getting some good offense. I like the fact that Zack Ryder won because he needs something more to do. You will not gain much with Cena, Show, Kane, Del Rio, or any main event stars as GM. They are too busy progressing their angles and Ryder is very entertaining, even with a lack of push. Fans will love to see Ryder control Smackdown, and could lead to bigger things for him.

What I Disliked:

Did this need to end Smackdown? I would rather have a big angle conclude the live show. Either way, I was happy with it.

Grade: B+
