WWE is taping Smackdown tonight at the Valley View Casino in San Diego, CA.  Christian will be doing a Peep Show with Daniel Bryan and AJ.  Rey Mysterio and HHH are also set to appear.  Rey was set to be off camera but now that they have brought him back at Raw, that could change.  We are looking for reports on the show so if you are going, please drop me a line. 

On his Twitter account, Rikishi said that he was very happy to have the moment with his sons that he did on Raw last night.  He also said that he used the Samoan Spike to pay homage to Umaga and the Banzai Drop to pay homage to Yokozuna.  That was very cool.
