Smackdown Receives: Tyson Kidd, David Hart Smith, Natalya, Finlay, and Matt Hardy

With their only key loss being Shelton Benjamin, Smackdown took another upgrade that will make the show just that much better than before. With a new faction alongside the returning Matt Hardy (who never should have left in the first place) should provide more solid wrestling than ever before.

Hart Dynasty: A perfect acquisition for Smackdown as this upcoming faction certainly has all the potential in the world to be one of the best. There are so many possibilities and seeing as they joined Smackdown, they should be able to shine more than they ever could on Raw or ECW.

Natalya is an instant upgrade for the Divas division as she is one of the best women wrestlers today. With Melina, Michelle McCool, and now Natalya on one roster, we should see some very solid Divas’ contests every Friday Night.

On ECW, Natalya was more of a valet and that is great for a faction, but now she has competition, so I think she will be a major part of the Divas division.

As for Kidd and Smith, they are a perfect fit for Smackdown’s tag team division as now they can feud with John Morrison, Rey Mysterio, and Rated Y2J.

Hart Dynasty will be such a great addition to Friday nights as they will take advantage of every opportunity they can get. They are most certainly the future of Smackdown.

Finlay: The tough Irishman will be a forced to be reckoned with on Friday nights. Another perfect Superstar for the Smackdown brand because Finlay can either be the tough Irish bastard he was when he first debuted on Smackdown or he can still play the face role as well.

Finlay will be a great part of the lower mid card as he can have some solid feuds with R-Truth, Kane, or Dolph Ziggler.

Finlay can really elevate a Superstar's status and that is what I think he will mainly be used for unless WWE decides to give him a monster push and have him join the upper mid-card, though I think that is unlikely.

Finlay is a perfect fit for Smackdown and he will provide some solid mat wrestling to the show.

Matt Hardy: Smackdown’s best pick if you ask me, Matt Hardy should be able to garner major heat from the crowd and provide a solid heel from Raw. The only question I have with Matt is, why?

We have Jeff Hardy and I do think both Hardys should be separated so they can feud with other people, but I really think this signifies that A. Jeff will be leaving the company or B. Matt will have some kind of storyline in which he can not come near Jeff.

Also, his injury takes into effect as well. We now know that Matt Hardy will need surgery and be out for some extended period of time, so could we be waiting for Matt to debut after Jeff is gone from WWE?

Matt could also turn face after (IF) Jeff is gone, but it would be hard to give Matt a turn after all he’s done to a top babyface.

That would be like Triple H and Randy Orton forming Evolution together and pretending that Orton never took out the entire McMahon family. Matt literally tried to kill his brother, so I’m not sure that is entirely possible.

I want WWE to have Matt come in after or if Jeff leaves, but if Jeff ends up staying, they need to be separated. I think WWE will wait to see what happens to Jeff before doing anything significant with Matt.

But whatever happens, there are so many ways to go with Matt back on Smackdown and I think this was an excellent move by WWE.

Overall Synopsis: As I’ve been saying over and over, Smackdown got bigger, Raw got better, and ECW got raided. There is nothing to look forward on Tuesdays besides Benjamin vs Christian and I do think Vladimir Kozlov will make a much dreaded impact on the show now that the competition is minimal.

Raw will be a more solid show depending on how they utilize their new acquisitions and Smackdown will be bigger and better than ever. With all the possibilities that show has, it will be even greater to watch Smackdown.
