4 Ups And 4 Downs From Last Night's WWE SmackDown (June 11)

3. Ryback Is An IC Champion That Actually Wins

WWE books their champions to be such losers all the time that when a midcard champion actually wins a non-title match it's an "up" for sure. Ryback has improved in the ring this year, so when he's booked in a match like this that goes about ten minutes he looks decent. There was a creative finish with Miz actually trying to set up Ryback with a Meat Hook Clothesline spot of his own, but it didn't really work and Ryback crushed him with a clothesline. A Shellshock by Ryback ended it as he got the clean win. Imagine that! It would have been nice if they didn't have Ryback attack Big Show on Raw because then they could have gone into the match on Sunday without any physical altercation. That way it builds it up more. At least on Smackdown they didn't do anything physical - it was just more trash talk.
