We had a lot of good wrestling on Smackdown this week! I guess that's to be expected when there's three matches involving the Shield.
No full recap, but the show continued the steady build of Daniel Bryan, as after losing his match to Roman Reigns by DQ when Kane was baited into interfering and teasing dissension among the team, Hell No arrived to save Randy Orton from the three on one main event beatdown and it was Bryan who carried the day, single-handedly wiping out all three Shield members and then leading the crowd in a 'Yes' serenade. I'm presuming that they'll still do Orton/Sheamus for the tag titles, and that makes me wonder what's in store for Bryan for Payback. A three way tag title match? Does he go for Ambrose's US title? Is he being positioned for a shot at Ziggler or the winner of Cena/The Ryback?
I don't know, but I'm excited to find out, and any time WWE can get people excited that's a good thing.
This whole week was a big step up for WWE programming in my opinion, and Smackdown was far and away the best WWE show in months. Daniel Bryan is on fire, and it's been a loooong time since I've seen a whole arena get behind anyone on the roster like they did with Bryan last night. Big things are definitely in his future.

Damien Sandow is totally money. We've seen the "intellectual superior" gimmick before, but Sandow is excellent at it. And he's one of the few guys on the roster who is actually funny while being really obnoxious. Sandow should be a main event heel.

My only beef with that whole segment is that I thought Sandow should have immediately copped to cheating; after all, people always cheat at the shell game, and not knowing that actually would have made Sheamus look dumber in my opinion.
I'm hoping that the WWE is using Bryan's increasingly heelish behaviour as a decoy. As an actual heel turn of one of the most over, natural faces on the roster would be borderline moronic.
He will keep complaining about being the weak link and Kane will continue to persuade him that he isn't. When DB takes a pinfall in a PPV match, Kane will be the one to snap and say that he IS the weak link.
He attacks him.
Heel turn for Kane (he needs to go back to his traditional character before he retires) and Bryan can feud with him and win to be put more over.
