REVIEW
This was a very exciting episode of SmackDown. The highlights were definitely the fatal 4 way match along with the main event. The Shield continues to scrap with the Authority in the form of Kane. It was awesome how Kane got all the heel tag teams to do his bidding tonight and take down the Shield. I can't wait to see how they retaliate on Monday night. I still have a feeling this rivalry is going to spill over into Bryan's battle with HHH.
Cena's rivalry with the Wyatt Family is really heating up. His match tonight with Harper was short but it was a sneak peak at the intensity we are going to see at WrestleMania. It is shaping up to be one hell of a match. The last time I was this excited to see a John Cena match was at Summerslam against Daniel Bryan, and this one should be no less intense. Wyatt is going to push John Cena to his mental and physical limits in a way that we seldom get to see. Cena will probably end up winning, but it is going to be one of those matches where the winner is unimportant because the story being told is so good.
