-WWE is holding a Super Smackdown television taping tonight in Rochester, New York at Blue Cross Arena. The advertised talent pool for tonight's show is Sheamus, Alberto Del Rio, Big Show, Kane, Daniel Bryan, Cody Rhodes, Sin Cara, Wade Barrett, Antonio Cesaro, Damien Sandow, Natalya, and Kaitlyn. I'm not sure what makes it a Super Smackdown considering those wrestlers regularly appear on Smackdown, but so be it.
