4 Ups & 5 Downs From WWE SmackDown (15 May - Results & Review)
2. It’s Official: Women’s Tag Champs Are Dull!
Paige winning during her surprise return at WrestleMania 42 was a cool moment, but her reign with Brie Bella has been dull as dishwater thus far. Look, there was nothing technically wrong with the pair’s tag bout vs. Kiana James and Giulia, but it quietened the crowd early and they didn’t come back up for the babyfaces at all unless Brie was doing her Bryan Danielson bit.
Also, can we just get to the Kiana and Giulia breakup already? What’s the hold up? It’s hardly like they’re over as a double act, so the hesitancy is strange. It should give Triple H and his writers headaches that their split and grudge match could play before crickets in an arena soon. They've done such a poor job with Giulia on the main roster, man, but she hasn't exactly been nailing it on her side either.
Personally, this writer is kinda worried that Brie and Paige could do to the Women’s Tag Title scene what The Wyatt Sicks did to the men’s division. They’ve got it in a chokehold for now, and it’ll be somewhat of a relief when they drop the belts to a better duo. That's sad to say so soon after Paige's grand comeback, but it's the unfortunate truth.
Realistically, those titles were better off on Nia Jax and Lash Legend than Paige and Brie. Bella's promo delivery is some of the worst, and her in-ring work never makes up for that. This whole deal was a total miss and only served to eat up some time on the 3 hour show.
