3 Ups And 3 Downs From Last Night's WWE Smackdown (Jan 10)

Ups...

3. Not Exactly Off To A Great Start

Last week on Smackdown, Dolph Ziggler turned heel when he attacked Kalisto, who had helped him fend off an attack from Baron Corbin. This week, the two men got a chance to settle their issues in the ring.

The match was good, although for Dolph, turning heel involved adding some chinlocks to his repertoire. Also, it's hard not to believe that this is too little, too late. After all, the last time Dolph was a heel, he was a rising star clearly on the upswing - now, it's the opposite. Anyway, Kalisto was really exciting here, and shockingly, he scored the win with a crucifix pin, starting Dolph's heel run off inauspiciously.

After the match, Dolph attacked Kalisto, hitting him with a chair. That brought out Apollo Crews, whom Dolph had also picked a fight with last week. Crews got the upper hand, but Dolph grabbed the chair once again and assaulted the former NXT star with it. Not sure where this is going, but if it gives Crews a storyline, it's a step in the right direction.
