Who's rising, who's falling as a result of last night's Smackdown
Really enjoyed the show and like a lot of the setup for the next few months of the WWE.
Rising
1. Damien Sandow - I was going to put Tyson Kidd here because he just went from working Superstars for the most part to being in one of the most exciting and memorable matches every year MITB. I'm more impressed with Sandow because of the way they just had him cleanly pin Ryder and work his way into MITB as well. I'd love to think he actually has a shot to win, but can't go that far yet
2. Tyson Kidd - When the match started I was convinced Swagger would win just because I had him in the top of the "Falling" list just from Monday's show. Then I realized that Tyson has had some of the more memorable spots (particularly at No Way Out) and that they were probably putting him in this match to have another moment like that. Almost zero chance to actually win the match, but still a nice little moment for him
3. Tensai - That was a nice return match and IMO at this point Tensai is a dark horse to win the MITB (though I do think Cody ends up worming his way into the match and winning)
Falling
1. Sin Cara - Officially MIA. Did I miss something?
2. Christian/Santino - Only because if you have these two you want them defending the belts, and having them in the MITB with not a huge chance to win the match is a big loss. Obviously they're still worth drafting/keeping, just sayin'
Can't think of much else to include here. Maybe Ziggler just temporarily for giving up the pinfall in the triple threat. Official prediction: Vickie sides with Del Rio to get him a solo title shot against Sheamus and maybe even joins Del Rio in his corner, Del Rio wins the Championship and goes on to feud with Ziggler (face turn!) I think all this recent losing by Ziggler is going to lead to something for him. The WWE just has to realize the talent and potential (RIGHT?)
