18 WTF Moments From WWE SmackDown Live (Nov 1)
14. The Reference Doesn't Work, Shane
Natalya confronted Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan in the hope that she would be named the coach of Team SmackDown Live for the women's Survivor Series match. Despite being clearly the most experienced and best female wrestler on the roster, the powers that be at SmackDown Live had Nattie lose a match to Nikki Bella last week which saw he removed from the team altogether because making your team weaker makes complete sense.
Anyway, Shane was listing reasons why it was a good idea for the Queen of Harts to be installed in the role. He claimed that Carmella and Alexa Bliss looked up to her, which must be true since they're blonde and heels...
Then, Shane O'Mac claimed that since Nattie, Naomi and Nikki Bella get on so well on Total Divas that they would do the same as part of Team SmackDown Live.
This simply isn't a valid reason in my book. The ladies taking part in Total Divas are in no way lined up with the female Superstars we see in a WWE ring.
Take Naomi for example, she's known by her real name on Trinity on the show. And as for RAW's Lana, she speaks in an American accent on the shows. If TD and what happens in WWE are really lined up, she's nothing more than an American girl that pretends to be Russian for absolutely no reason.
The link just doesn't make sense when there are certain gaps in the narrative between each show.
