9 Ups & 1 Down From Last Night's WWE SmackDown (Sept 25)
8. Becky Cruises Past Lana
Much like the show's other women's match, Becky Lynch vs. Lana did its job.
WWE built heat through a brief backstage confrontation earlier in the show. Becky threw shade at her opponent, laughed at the Milwaukee allegations, and sparked further doubt in Rusev's mind, which at least made Lana's control period in the bout itself halfway believable. She had a reason to be angry, so of course she fought with extra fire.
Still, she was only ever there to mount a brief fight-back before inevitably putting the SmackDown Women's Champion over. Lynch cut 'The Ravishing Russian' off while she was running the ropes, nailed an Xploder, then put her away with the Dis-Arm-Her. Job done.
It'd be cool to see Becky shake up her entrance music and look now that she's a villainess, but she crushed her over-matched opponent in effective fashion.
