3 Ups And 5 Downs From Last Night's WWE SmackDown (Jan 24)

Downs...

5. Seven Years And You Came Up With That?

Following last week's Smackdown - where La Luchadora helped Alexa Bliss beat Becky Lynch, then was unmasked as Mickie James - the former Divas' Champion was in the ring for an interview with Renee Young. Young kept asking James leading questions about her motivation for the attack and the comeback, but it was all really generic - basically, the women of the "Women's Revolution" forgot about their predecessors, but Bliss didn't.

Why, exactly, Bliss didn't "forget" - and why James cut the entire promo with a sing-song generic villain cadence - wasn't addressed. Instead, it just felt like a really bad parody of journalism. Eventually, Becky ran down to the ring and James fled over the barricade, but Bliss ambushed her and the two villains attacked Becky in the ring.

As far as promos go, this one was better off forgotten. Let's leave the talking to Bliss and Becky in the future.
