We've only got a little over two weeks until Over the Limit and while Raw is plugging along nicely, booking their top stars into matches, Smackdown seems to be lagging behind.

Sure, Alberto Del Rio already has a title shot he can cash in so after Sheamus retained his World Heavyweight title against Daniel Bryan, it was assumed the Mexican and the Irishman would begin their program.

But what of newly crowned United States Champion Cody Rhodes? What about Randy Orton?

Are they going to continue their respective feuds with The Big Show and Kane? Another match with Rhodes and Show would make sense but Orton seemed to definitively his rivalry with "The Big Red Machine" this past Sunday.

Unfortunately, if you're expecting answers to those questions, the Smackdown taping won't help.

Find out what happens on Friday -- courtesy of ProWrestling.net -- after the jump.
