Title This: WWE Smackdown Reaction “Too Many Matches, Not Enough Progression”

By Josh Isenberg

The Undercard

WWE Smackdown reactionCesaro defeated Kofi Kingston

This was your typical Kofi Kingston match, one where he gets a little offense in and then misses a kick to see Cesaro take control. Cesaro hits a massive uppercut and then connects with the Neutralizer.

I was very surprised that Sheamus did not come out and try to get more revenge on Cesaro. It was needed in a segment that fell a little flat and meaningless to me. 

Score: 4/10

Paige defeated Tamina

Alicia Fox comes out and parades around the ring. She is distracting Paige, which allows Tamina to overpower Paige. Tamina tosses her around and misses a shoulder block. This allows Paige to take control and hit multiple clotheslines and a big kick to the head. Paige hits Paigeturner and the PTO for the win. 

I liked this match because Paige actually showed aggression and intensity. Every match seemed to be her "barely" winning. Not tonight, as Paige takes control of a much bigger and stronger Diva. Alicia Fox continues to do the small things to make her character more interesting.

Score: 5/10
