4 Ups & 4 Downs From Last Night's WWE SmackDown (Oct 31)
3. A Dog (And Cat) In The Fight
Monday Night Raw's female league is in such a state that it would thankfully be an insult if Becky Lynch's crop failed to breeze past them at the Thanksgiving tradition. However, rather than actually attempt the challenging task of elevating the p*ss poor Alicia Fox and her crew on Mondays, WWE creative seems bound and determined to tank the blue brand's women instead.
Awkwardly framed backstage, 'The Irish Lass Kicker's pep talk looked to fall on deaf ears as it was before crazy cat lady and Women's Champion Natalya came into undermine them for no adequately explored reason. Not least a week removed from them all donning blue shorts to ravage their Raw rivals.
Blatantly fearing Charlotte and disparaging the rest, WWE yet again tried to serve dual masters in continuing internal storylines whilst anchored by the lousy Raw Vs SmackDown conflict. Natalya will fight Alexa Bliss on that show, unless she conspires to lose the title beforehand. If so, place on this team would be considered a punishment. And not just because James Ellsworth and Carmella's relationship has been desexualised by converting the chinless wonder from quasi-BDSM sub into a literal dog. She's obviously not a good owner because this entire segment stunk of sh*t.
