4 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Oct 28)

1. An AEW-Style Segment

Technically, a re-debut, but the point still stands.

WWE's booking here smacked of Tony Khan, and not the good side of TK. Emma answering Ronda Rousey's open challenge was the kind of thing you'd expect to see from a Jade Cargill title defence on Dynamite or Rampage, being honest. It was totally 'one and done' in terms of style.

Tenille Dashwood's first company match in over five years was a six-minute loss to Ronda before everyone moved on. Worse, fans barely stirred for it. Could Emma be a credit to the women's division in a veteran role? Absolutely, but this wasn't the hot start some probably hoped it'd be.

Where does Emma even go from here? She was brought back to lose a quick fire SmackDown Title match, and wasn't even mentioned after the fact. In other words, she made zero impact on the division during her first night back.

Eek.
