-- The C.M. Punk-The Rock segment felt "too big" for Smackdown. Nice to see Smackdown getting some top shelf segments and stars in-line with Raw.

-- Man, those red bags under Punk's eyes are worse than ever. Is he getting any sleep? Now is no time to slow down, but, damn, he looks like he could use a week to just get away from it all between now and WrestleMania.

-- Good final angle centered on Alberto Del Rio and Big Show to create a sense that Del Rio's title reign is in jeopardy. Although Smackdown is less and less its own show compared to Raw with the brand split fading to near nothing, it's noteworthy that an angle with Show and Del Rio regarding the World Title was the final scene rather than Rock-Punk.

-- Roman Reigns has been a pleasant surprise in terms of his body language and facial expressions so far. He doesn't at all seem green or bland standing next to Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose, who are very good with their presence.

-- Damien Sandow seems to job more often than seems advisable if they're trying to give him more credibility than Santino or Zack Ryder.

-- There were no wise-ass comments from JBL or Antonio Cesaro about The Miz applying the figure-four correct this time, so apparently mocking his disastrous figure-four from Raw on Monday is not allowed. While Miz applied it correctly, he did that thing where you grab the foot and pump it and make a face, but he had zero actual torque on the foot so it looked kinda fake at that point.
