Who's rising, who's falling after last night's Smackdown
Decent episode with some questionable booking decisions IMO.
Rising
1. Ryback - I've avoided listing him here lately but my god if they keep doing these 2 on 1 jobber matches for him he's going to end up being the top point getter in the WWE for the season. FEED. HIM. ACTUAL. WRESTLERS.
2. Antonio Cesaro - Was really worried about what the WWE was planning for him with him being absent from TV the last several weeks, but they redeemed themselves giving him a nice video package for his return. My main hope is that they've redone his entrance music. If everything else stays the same and he gets a great entrance theme, I expect gold around his waist within the next 6 months.
3. Sandow - I'm just going to keep putting Antonio and Sandow on these lists because they are so damn impressive to me. Not sure who I like to get a belt first more, him or Antonio.
Falling
Not much I can think of. I'm blown away they had O'Neill and Young debut their new name, cut an old school promo, and then lose to the ridiculously put together team of Ryder and Santino? FOR WHAT? To have the Big Show come out make the win meaningless? One of the oddest booking decisions I've seen in recent memory. If I thought they'd keep giving O'Neill and Young those types of losses I'd include them, but I dont.
