Reviews/Thoughts:
I like Sheamus and Mark Henry stepping up to the plate. At least both are not getting lost in the shuffle here. Well, at least not yet.

Another Sin Cara match that wasn't too shabby. Again though, it was basically a 5-minute spot monkey match for Sin Cara.

Very good match between Daniel Bryan and Cody Rhodes. Great spot with DB doing his flip off the ropes but then eats a Beautiful Disaster from Cody. I like the post-match beatdown from Rhodes as well. We got a program for DB! Woohoo! Vintage heel Cole!

I've said this before, but the Ezekiel Jackson multiple bodyslams have to be the lamest face comeback move ever. I do like the torture rack finisher, though.

Kane/Khali should never be done again. And thus starts the Khali heel turn! Finally.

Big Show has been written off TV. Sucks.

Booker calls out Michael Cole! Best line of the night...Josh Mathews calling Michael Cole a pompous ass.

Hey, finally those NXT rookie divas from Season 3 get air time! Vintage split screen segment to air a taped promo of sorts! I won't rate this one because it was just too short. Unfortunate that AJ and Kaitlyn had to lose.

Savage tribute time. Awesome.

Very good triple threat match. Liked the Orton interference because it can easily be used as ammo for a Christian heel turn. I also like Sheamus getting the title shot so Orton can have some fresh blood to feast on. Next week, we got Orton/Sheamus for the title!
