-- Overall Show: No collateral damage or further damage to the roster this week via the Triple H Power Trip storyline. The focus at the end was on Randy Orton being a jerk and Daniel Bryan taking him out with a flying knee. Big Show resisted caving in to Triple H's orders, yet he stalled long enough to perhaps save his job. It was good that Orton did most of the talking at the end, not Triple H, too. Bryan got a big win and also KO'd the champ with his new finisher, so they did what made sense to gives a fans a sense of momentum for Bryan headed into Sunday's Night of Champions PPV.

-- Triple H-Edge opening promo: I continue to strongly question whether discussing whether "someone drew" should be talked about on a pro wrestling show. Talk about a tactic that never has drawn a dime. The point isn't whether a wrestler draws, the point - in the context of a TV show - is whether they won titles, and Edge won a ton of those titles. By that measure, he's in the top-tier of success of all wrestlers of the last 15 years.

-- Paul Heyman Fake Injury storyline: It's so fascinating watching Wrestling 101, minus insider references, talk of "what's good for business and "who drew a dime," and without executives abusing power, and see how effective and refreshing a cowardly heel (Paul Heyman) and a heroic babyface (C.M. Punk) can be. Paul Heyman was brilliant, learning from the best managers over the years. His sprint from the ring after going through the charade of an injury evaluation got a laugh out loud from me, and it's not like I didn't see it coming because it's been dozens of times before by other heels faking injures. This is what pro wrestling is like at it's best - simple formula with excellent players executing the angle.

-- Randy Orton vs. Goldust: Very good match. Goldust seemed winded near the end, but not enough to take away from the match. He really kept a good pace with one of the very best workers of the last few years in this country. Both share credit for this, as Orton obviously carried the match, but Dustin Rhodes showed what a pro he is and why he's so respected by his peers despite his self-referenced screw-ups over the years that stunted his potential to break out in WWE a few times.

-- Santino's return match vs. Antonio Cesaro: The match felt longer than four minutes, but in a good way. The crowd decided to try to take over the show, but did so in a way that ended up helping the match because they were into Cesaro and Santino as wrestlers and what they were doing in the match.

-- "Total Divas" tag match: Why did Brie Bella, Naomi, and Natalya team together? For two-thirds of the Raw audience who don't watch Total Divas, that's a bigger mystery than those who do watch it, but it's not like those three get along on Total Divas. The A.J. Lee & Divas Locker Room vs. Reality TV Divas storyline is a mess with nothing to latch onto in terms of rooting for one side or the other with any logic. Bad idea.
