Title This: WWE Smackdown Reaction 7-13

Sheamus def. Chris Jericho

What I Liked:

If you ever wonder why either of these guys are in the main event picture, watch this match. This was an excellent battle between two established veterans. You have the strength of Sheamus, which carried a good bit of the match. His White Noise is a great set up move for his finisher. Also, Jericho was able to use his intelligence and timing to lock in the Walls of Jericho. Counters, reversals, and great chemistry in the ring was showcased here. I loved that Sheamus was pushed to the limit because he needed it. It has been a while since Sheamus has had an excellent and lengthy match with Jericho. Both guys are so complete it is absolutely ridiculous. Also. Del Rio finally made another statement with a great armbar to end the show. He looked aggressive and got me more interested in their match on Sunday. It had to end with Sheamus' vulnerability. He is the Champion who needed to face adversity due to the lack of personal feud with Del Rio.

What I Disliked:

Nothing. This was a very complete ending before Money in the Bank.

Grade: A
