Hyperbole hit hard when Sonya Deville and Chelsea Green won the Women's Tag-Team belts, but even someone who'd only watched WWE TV for five minutes could tell you that wouldn't last. Both came out looking like afterthought losers on Friday night.

Why bother hyping them up only to do this? Man, if you're getting tired of all the screaming-into-the-void questions about SmackDown booking, then same. Scripting Sonya and Chelsea to do the honours to Charlotte and Bianca was easily-avoidable.

Sure, someone has to lose matches when they're on the card. That isn't a problem, but WWE backed themselves into a creative corner for no good reason whatsoever, and now they'll have to start again with Deville and Green.
