Orton TAPS OUT?. I doubt that's true but Orton vs Del Rio at a future WM would be a great match.
Del Rio vs Sheamus AGAIN literally sucks ass unless the match is made into a Triple Threat or Del Rio finally wins this time.

Yeah I am shocked that Orton tapped out!  Has he ever taped when he was face?.. Good win for ADR I just wish it was a triple threat or a fatal 4 with with Orton and Dolph. It does seem like at NOC it will be a 4 way Tag Title match so they may not want two 4 ways on the card. This SD seems pretty good. I look forward to Dolph/Sheamus, the Cesaro confrontation, the divas match, and the main event. The only downside is that Cody is left off the card! What about his feud with Cara? |

Damn. I cant believe he made Orton tap. And it was clean. Its cool that they are putting him over, but I really dont want to see Sheamus vs. Del Rio again. Overall, it sounds like an okay show. I'm glad they are focusing on the tag division again.
