6 Ups & 5 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Feb 19)
4. More Women’s Tag Nonsense
Not as worrying as this sh*te.
The Riott Squad have officially entered jobber territory after looking like complete afterthoughts in a match against Tamina. Let that sink in for a second - it's usually her who has to eat crap and like it in these multi-women scenarios. Not this week though. Oh no, because apparently Tamina and Natalya as a random tag takes priority.
Billie Kay also looked like a total loser again. Yours truly is still waiting for all this to go somewhere/anywhere, but it doesn't look like WWE have a concrete plan in mind. They're blatantly booking this week-to-week and hoping that Kay will either stumble upon something marketable or one of the writers has a eureka moment.
That's not really good enough. SmackDown's female ranks are an absolute shambles outside the title picture, and the women's tag division is positively rancid. So much for that title shot the Riotts were supposed to get at some point too.
