Choke's Smackdown 10/12/12 Fantasy Report: the case for Aksana

Who's rising, who's falling after last week's Smackdown
Better late than never. Some fun moments during the show, but not a lot of matches or points distributed it seemed, and other than the further pushing of Slater's 3 Man Band, not many surprises.
Rising:
1. Aksana - This is purely a hypothesis pick. Aksana wasn't even on the show tonight, but Booker T mentions that she's the one who found the wig in Eve's bag. Huh? Now WWE might prove me wrong by just having that be some random Diva they decided to mention, but I think this means she will soon be thrust into this storyline, and maybe even outed as the culprit herself. We'll know more in the weeks to come, but I think this also explains why she might have been separated from Cesaro so quickly after his success. I think we'll be seeing a lot more of her in the next few months
2. Slater/Mahal/McIntyre - From bonus points to a legitimate pinfall victory within a week, it'll be interesting to see how far this goes. Will they just torment Santino for the next month and then fade away, or will they actually have them as a legit threat in the WWE? I don't think we'll be seeing any titles on them anytime soon, but I can see them getting some good victories
3. Tensai - Again picking up some bonus points. Even though he hasn't had a legitimate non-DQ victory in a while, it seems that the WWE likes using him and I'd like to see them push an actual program with him and some mid-carder
Falling:
1. Santino/Zack Ryder - Still tentatively worth holding because I'd assume they will eventually pick up some wins over the 3 Man Band collective, but both of these guys have plummetted over the last several months
Not much else to mention as it was a slow week as I'd stated before.
Look for my RAW update later tonight
