The main event of Ziggler vs. Finlay vs. Knox was very strong. I thought all three men were elevated coming out of the match. Ziggler was heady, Finlay had plenty of offense, and Knox looked tough. Ziggler continues to exude star power every time he's on TV. I imagine an IC Title run is imminent with Rey Mysterio being suspended, so that will help him in the star power department. Ziggler vs. Morrison over the IC Title could be great. Remains to be seen, but that would be a fun match-up.

I don't know what to make of Jack Swagger right now. He was red hot on ECW, then cooled off Raw, and booked to lose clean to MVP at Summerslam. Swagger's match against Primo seemed to be "just there." It seems like WWE is testing his resolve a little to make sure he's ready for a big push. It's like they said here's 13 minutes of TV time, you're picking up a win, but we're not putting much emphasis on the match because it's Superstars. What are you going to do to prove you deserve a higher place on the card? Interesting to see where they go with Swagger in the U.S. Title picture. Another potential great match-up on the undercard with Kofi vs. Swagger vs. Miz.

ECW's offering of Hurricane vs. Paul Burchill was just fine to advance their program to a future rubber match after the series was tied up at 1-1. I'm not sure which happened last - a Raw title match without the usual top star suspects or Burchill getting his hand raised in a singles victory. Ancient history on both accounts.

A nearly flawless version of Superstars this week! Nearly flawless would usually consist of a 9 or higher, but the lack of main event stars is the only things that could bring this down to an 8.5. All three matches delivered really well. Primo and Jack Swagger put on a great match that shows that Raw could really have a solid mid-card if it were ever booked that way. I'm sensing that we'll see another 4-way for the U.S. Title with Kofi Kingston, Swagger, Carlito, and The Miz. All four of those guys can work, so please (Raw bookers), let them!

Paul Burchill and The Hurricane put on another good match (just like they did last week). I'd still like to see Helms wrestle as himself every now and then so that the storyline could be furthered and frustrate Burchill all the more. It would be a way that the fans could also further suspend their disbelief by having Helms wrestle as himself and The Hurricane.

The Triple Threat Main Event for the #1 Contendership for the IC Title was another really good match. Mike Knox has picked up some major steam the last few weeks and finally looks like a player in the company. Finlay is great in the role that he seems to always play and still looks great in the ring, even for his age. Dolph Ziggler is the #1 contender again (as expected) and continues to shine. This was a heck of a match. I'm curious to see whether Ziggler will get the IC Title this next week on Smackdown because of the recently announced suspension of Rey Mysterio or if someone else will jump Mysterio in line. Either way, each WWE show has gotten better than the previous this week. If what I read is true, Smackdown should be no different.

An above-average offering from Superstars this week. They got off to a nice start by featuring Jack Swagger and Primo. Primo seems like a guy that is destined to be mid-card for life no matter how hard he works. But he's a good guy to have on TV and house shows because you know he'll put on a good match. I'm not sure what their plans are for Swagger, if any, but continuing to build him up is a good idea.

Burchill vs. Helms was fine and I really sense that with more TV time, Burchill is finding his character a little better. This is a pretty good mini-feud as far as those go. The main event triple-threat was fine, but I was surprised they had Knox take the pin rather than Finlay. I don't mind Ziggler winning again, and I can definitely see him getting the IC Title next. I wouldn't have said that a year ago.
