4 Ups & 3 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Sep 17)

2. Some Diva-Ish Presentation

Sound the Diva klaxon, because WWE's writers are lazily content to write feuds like Liv Morgan vs. Carmella as early-2000s throwbacks. Alarm bells sounded when Cole started banging on about how Toni Storm is an "80s wild child" and noted that 'Mella and Liv had been slagging off one another's outfits.

Oh dear.

Women like Becky Lynch, Bianca Belair, Sasha Banks, Charlotte Flair etc can be shallow characters, but you'll probably never hear Bex dissing Bianca's dress sense or Charlotte being described like some air-headed journo is writing an "interesting fact" about her on Page 3. That's how MC's chat about Storm came across.

Also, the broken nose gimmick Carmella worked was so Diva it almost hurt. Sure, vanity is her thing, but did WWE have to drag poor Zelina Vega into it? Or Toni? If Liv and 'Mella want to bitch about clothes, let them - don't tar everybody with the same brush.
