Every Chamber has someone to hit a few moves, then do the j-o-b and get outta there. They're not completely scrubs so they're believable enough to at least do that before they eat a knee or an AA or RKO. ain't no sense in sticking a Lesnar in there if Lesnar ain't winning it.

It'll probly go like:

Christian styles on Orton a lil bit, has a good exchange with Bryan, whatever... ends up taking an RKO.

Cesaro styles on damn near everybody, swings Bryan around, uppercuts Cena, etc... takes a knee or Brogue kick.

Then we get down to the final four.
But they haven't built these guys up to be on that level except a few stop and go pushes. Their booking of the midcard leaves this to nothing but fan service. There's no long term goals in this company at all. Cesaro should have been pushed if they were gonna do this and Christian is basically doing a Batista.

I really don't see any advantage to breaking up PTP and turning Titus heel.

As far as EC, I don't know why they would put in Christian or Cesaro when they were leading up to any two of

Kofi: Since he beat Orton and has a claim to a title shot
Punk: The Authority would give him a spot in the EC as a "consolation prize" for Kane screwing him out of the Rumble
Batista: Since he's already the #1 contender
Brock: Since he has claim to a title shot, but Batista is already the #1 contender

From a kayfabe perspective, I can see why Batista wouldn't be in it. But not puttin in at least one of the other three makes no sense to me.

Batista is facing Del Rio..it's kind of obvious. Kane is left out in the wind with this Punk thing though.

Christian always seems to return at the right time. Makes no sense for him to be in the EC.

My first time watching Smackdown in about a year. Only due to the fact I have nothing to do tonight. So hoping it's as good live as the spoilers made it out to be.

JBL - Good for Titus! :obama:

Of course he just likes to see two black man tear each other down.
