With little else to grab onto on this show, Bayley and Sasha Banks had the opportunity to steal it with a decent bit of backstage banter before the advertised fatal four-way Tag Team Title match. If only 'decent backstage banter' had actually been a thing in the last 20 years or so.

The two supposed top heels of SmackDown did some by-the-numbers bullsh*t about not liking the town before 'The Boss' spat an absolutely stinking line to close it out. In fairness, "Double champs, double pay, double duty 'cause we're gonna slay" was only as cringeworthy as Bayley asking "did Snoop teach you that?!"

Buried by being on screen instead of off, 'The Boss & Hug Connection' are clearly cursed in spite of what happens bell-to-bell.
