WWE Smackdown News and Notes: In AJ We Trust

Sometimes before Kane takes to the ring I think to myself, “Oh no! This is a Kane match.” But this week’s Kane match was also a Daniel Bryan match and will I always watch those? Do I want to elect AJ queen of the universe? Do I crib Bryan’s catchphrases way too often? YES! YES! YES!

How good is AJ right now? Even in a thirty-second role as “special guest timekeeper” (LOL), she’s complex and interesting and seductive and funny, and still hot even in Kane’s ridiculous mask. Credit to Kane too. He kept up with Bryan athletically, and watching AJ manipulate him is the best love triangle involving an arsonist since Desperate Housewives.

Two more jobbers got a good Rybacking. As long as they keep him off of live TV the sound editors can make some headway against the “Goldberg” chants.

Alberto Del Rio went over Christian after great effort from both. Del Rio winning via jumping kick of awesomeness and a Cross Armbreaker and just a bit of Ricardo Rodriguez interference. How cool is Del Rio’s leaping springboard top-rope enzuigiri move? “It’s really cool,” you should be answering.

Today in #millionsofdollars: It’s only been a couple days but AW already seems to be clicking with the Prime Time Players, Darren Young and Titus O’Neil, who are. Their opponents were The Usos, a chronically underutilized tag team almost as awesome to watch as their seriously wicked crazy cool entrance is. After winning the matchup with some AW interference, the Players took a few hits backstage from Primo and Epico along with a very noisy Rosa Mendes, who are ballsier and cooler now as suddenly turned babyfaces out for revenge than they’ve been for months. I almost don’t want to mention my cautious optimism over a segment that featured three real-life serious tag teams, because Vince does not want us to have nice things and now, because I’ve jinxed it, the whole tag division is going to end up as Ryback chow.

Be sure to also check out the main event of Sheamus vs. Dolph Ziggler part 6 or 7, but however many times they go at it, the matches always seem to get better. Pro-Ziggler chants are becoming a regular occurrence, which means that if WWE is serious about keeping him a top heel he is going to be tongue wrestling Vickie Guerrero a lot.

The eternal Ziggler match dilemma: I’d love to see Dolphie Z win every match and championship in WWE, but there is no one who can take a kick like him. I don’t know if Dolph’s official action figure has an easy-off kickable face but it should.
