[The following comments are my own opinion on this week's Smackdown show]

It was nice to see Cena make an appearance on Smackdown, even if he did not actually wrestle. Nice to see Vickie Guerrero too [oddly enough]. This week's Smackdown was actually not that bad. No Teddy Long, no diva segments or diva match makes for a pretty decent Smackdown. Unfortunately if they were going to bring something over to Smackdown that is not normally there, it had to be the horrible Cena/AJ angle, but it didn't take up too much of the show so it was tolerable.

It also looks like they will be continuing the Del Rio v Randy Orton fued that is starting to be tiresome. The matches between them are not bad, but the fued itself is not particularly 'gripping' to be honest. Also not keen on the idea of champions losing in a non title match. If you are the champ and you lose, surely you should lose the title? What is the point of having to beat the champion, only to get a shot at his title to have to beat him again? If you get my drift. Like I said though, it was not so bad generally.
