4 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE SmackDown (April 23)

2. Comedy When It Should Be Serious

Yuck.

Memo to WWE: Bayley pretending to congratulate Bianca Belair on her 'Mania success and then laughing her ass off is not the way to go with this rivalry. This was a worry yours truly expressed last week when Bayley made it obvious she was next in line, and it's already coming true.

Nobody looks good when they book this sort of sh*t. Bianca came across as a fool for buying into Bayley's lies, and the challenger herself is still doing this goofy comedy nonsense that's rotten to the core. Honestly, nobody will care about this title feud if WWE don't get their arses in gear and sprinkle it with seriousness.

They've got three more weeks to put things right, have Bayley attack Belair with a steel chair (or something) and turn this into something worthwhile. What next? Are they gonna' become best mates and challenge for the Women's Tag Titles?
