(www.PlaytimeCares.com) - This Payback Pay Per View (PPV) is Sunday so you know I am expecting a snoozer of a SmackDown.  To my surprise, they did just enough to surprise you and also let talent wrestle enough to entertain, but not injure themselves.

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. 
5. The Tag Team Division is starting to look better than the singles division.  Get more people graduated from NXT and get that division showcased more.

This SmackDown was average and didn't do much to add to Wrestlemania.  I am not certain if they are trying to make RAW just that more spectacular so the Shane VS Undertaker story line will have more pop, or if they just are dropping the ball this much.
