Smackdown Live 1/17 - Shane's Announcement, Steel Cage Match

It wouldn't be the first time they did a 3 match SD, did it a couple of weeks ago I believe. Really doesn't matter though, all of them were entertaining, and they all progressed storylines. No filler's allowed.

Ambrose looks to be used as driving a wedge through the Wyatt's. That will be an excellent story going forward, lot's of swerve's and shenanigans to be had for sure. Miz is ready for another run with the title, God knows he's done some of his best work this year, bonus is he hasn't faced Styles yet. So that is a nice change. The cage match was the worst of the three, but the match wasn't horrible considering they are both first timers in there. And we got the Mickie James reveal, which kind of fell flat.

All in all they used the time well. I wasn't bored. The one thing SD doesn't do that RAW does, is they don't feel the need to have every wrestler on the roster appear on every show in repeat matches each week. The main event does change unlike the flagship show which has the same four every week, except for one. They also are using Cena sparingly, while RAW has to bring in the starpower like Taker, HBK, Goldberg and Lesnar to boost the ratings.

The Ziggler and King segment went where not a lot expected them to go. They showed Ziggler pounding on King just before his cardiac arrest, and a lot was said that really can't be taken back. Showed a bit of the dark side. Don't know where this will end up, but they are taking chances. It's working.
I loved the cage match. The cage match actually made sense and it wasn't forced upon like the hell in a cell match at Raw.

Smackdown has been quite good at continuing storylines which actually make sense.
