-- 9/17 WWE Smackdown Reax

DZ, student (7.0): Best Match: Kofi vs. Swagger. Kofi seems to have the necessary skills to make it to the next level after the whole Taker-Kane thing. Worst Match: The Divas match. Christian vs. Punk was pretty good and I think Del Rio-Christian can be a pretty good feud. I hope it elevates both guys near the main event. Punk-Show is a waste of Punk's time, I believe, so let's just hope it's over for good on Sunday. McIntyre/Rhodes have nothing in common except being heels, but I expect them to win the belts at the PPV. Hopefully, Cody isn't the new Billy Gunn who will win tag belts with five-to-six different partners and not do anything major as a singles wrestler. Cody should be in line for the IC belt if Kofi wins it Sunday (which he shouldn't). MVP should be in line next if (and when) Dolph wins. Kane vs. Taker is the top feud in the company, considering how at least three of the guys in the Six-Pack Challenge have no shot at winning, Kane vs Taker should be the main attraction of this event, with Kane going over. Taker should leave for the duration of Kane's reign, but WWE likes to sell the same match over and over, so Kane will likely win and face Taker next month too.

Pablo of Guadalajara, Mexico (6.5): Best Match: Christian vs. C.M. Punk. Worst Match: Divas Match. The first segment with Christian and Alberto Del Rio was a nice way to start Smackdown and it builds hype for a future match between them, maybe at the premiere of Smackdown on Syfy. The match between Hart Dynasty and Rhodes/McIntyre was just okay, I thought. Kofi Kingston v.s Jack Swagger was a nice back and forth match; I can see them in a future feud. I didn't like the Divas match, and I think it's time to give them more time in the ring. Christian vs. C.M. Punk was a really nice match, and the finish got heat on Del Rio for distracting Christian to cause the loss. I'm tired of Kane giving week-by-week the same promo. During his promo, there was a moment where he sounded exactly like Darth Vader talking about the Dark Side.
