4 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Aug 11)

3. Where Was Shotzi?

Despite feuding with Damage CTRL and playing mind games with Bayley for weeks, Shotzi was nowhere to be found on Friday. Wouldn't this, y'know, have been the perfect time for her to show up, freak Bayley out, run her off and leave SKY alone to shine a spotlight on the title?

Something tangible fans can get behind so people have a reason to care about Shotzi's recent image change would be lovely. There's a heartwarming story behind it, but WWE has largely ignored that and now they're pretty much bored of Shotzi full stop. Or...are they? It's hard to tell sometimes, man.

Shotzi wasn't the only big omission either. Bianca Belair wasn't on this week's show, but that gets more of a pass 'cause creative might be brewing something with Belair, Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits. The Shotzi stuff doesn't get that same patience.

If you're going to develop a new character, bloody develop it!
