3 Ups And 4 Downs From Last Night's WWE Smackdown (Oct 18)

2. Time To Shoot!

The top-of-the-hour segment saw Carmella come down to the ring, promising to dish out the truth about Nikki Bella. That brought out Bella herself, who was interested in seeing exactly what her foe could possibly say. Carmella was unfazed, though, and dropped the bombshell: Nikki is dating... John Cena!

Needless to say, this was a bit underwhelming. Bella even acknowledged that it's no secret - despite the fact that she doesn't talk about it on Smackdown, she's been very open about her relationship on reality TV and social media. Carmella went one step further, though, telling Bella that she was only where she was because of Cena, then airing a Total Bellas highlight video designed to make Bella look "needy."

Bella blew it off, talking about how Carmella was undermining her as a woman, but Carmella maintained that she was with Cena for her personal gain, then left. This was a really underwhelming segment, as Carmella's material was nonsense and Bella, despite trying, also fell flat. This feud hasn't been that bad, all things considered, so hopefully this was just a misfire.
