WRESTLING RECAP: Breaking down WWE Smackdown from 05/21/15

(www.PlaytimeCares.com) - With the Elimination Chamber (EC) Pay Per View (PPV) only 2 weeks away, much anticipation is building to see what matches will be added.  This SmackDown episode was one of the strongest episodes I have seen in ages.  I only hope they can keep up this level for 2 more weeks!

Some things I still need to happen in the WWE Universe:

1. Bring back the Cruiser Weight Division
2. Make all the matches mean something to some sort of belt or rivalry.  
3. Show more of the roster.  You guys recycle the same talent too much.
4. You may wish to consider bringing the Diva's division full circle and have them with Tag Title belts, lightweight belts, etc.

Here are the highlights of the show:
