The Nickel: Smackdown Rebounds Harder Than RAW Rewinds

Priceless vs. Colons

FINALLY!

We have finally witnessed Orton's henchmen in action. After weeks upon weeks of being nothing more than scapegoats getting run down and hit with sledge hammers, the two clowns finally have a match.

I'm glad this match went down because the Colons' feud with Miz and Morrison was getting stale. They fought at Mania, which we didn't see, so it was only right to view the rematch on a rather lackluster RAW.

The two teams also bumped heads on a great episode of ECW this week. The Colons faced Priceless this week and it was a good move. Priceless picked up the victory. New feud, anyone?

Stretcher Match

I was a bit skeptical about the match, but it delivered. Kudos to the Hardys. Not only did they bust their chops at Wrestlemania, but they did the next night on RAW and repeated again on Smackdown.

I'm really digging Matt Hardy's new attire and his entire heel character has drawn me in. Matt Hardy picked up another impressive victory against Jeff Hardy. Jeff remains winless against his brother in the current feud, there's going to be some serious backlash.

Khali vs. Santino

This was certainly something I didn't want to see. This whole Santina/Santino thing is utterly horrendous. I don't care for this idiotic story. Santino is a funny guy, but this is too much.

The Ms. Wrestlemania crown could have been used for a diva push and feud. Nevertheless, Khali wanted a kiss from Santina and he and Santino got into a match. Khali is completely useless. Khali defeated Santino, of course.

Michelle McCool vs. Gail Kim

I was excited to see this match. Gail has been in one too many tag matches, I really wanted to see her in one-on-one action.

It's taken some time...a long time, but I'm really fond of McCool and enjoyed the match. I was rooting for McCool, but my wishes wouldn't be granted as Kim picked up the victory. Good match.

Rest of the show

• Orton cuts a good promo on Backlash.
• Big Show defeats Kofi Kingston. (I believe he might get drafted to Smackdown).
• No Shelton Benjamin (Healing from Mania, maybe?).
• John Cena beats Edge for the WHC (I'm tired of these two now).
• There were some dull parts, but SD! beats RAW this week.
