4 Ups & 5 Downs From WWE SmackDown (19 Dec - Results & Review)
3. Just Go Away With This!
Quick question: How boring does one story have to be before WWE bins it?
This week, Michin attacked Jade Cargill from behind backstage with a kendo stick. For the love of God, move on from this nonsense. It means nothing, it’s doing nothing for Jade, and it doesn't even rank as character development for Michin and B-FAB. If anything, they've got Cargill's title reign in a chokehold, and it's obvious that the writers are spinning their wheels with all of it.
Bianca Belair's return has been discussed for a while, so that'll surely kick Jade back into a higher gear when it happens. It bloody better happen, otherwise her title run will start to feel as half-arsed as Tiffany Stratton's did towards the end. The old 'creative has nothing else for you' chestnut is kicking Cargill's butt right now, and it sucks to see.
She's a bonafide star, and her heel turn has serious potential. Quite why Trips is content to squander it in a nothing burger sideshow like the stuff with Michin and FAB is anyone's guess. Does he find it entertaining? The boss must if he's slapping a green light on more of the same rubbish every other week.
It'd be a shock if anyone who tunes into SmackDown weekly wanted to see Michin go one on one with Jade. Please, please, please can we find something else for Cargill to do? She needs an actual feud, not whatever this is. It's trash. Half-baked, under-cooked, uninspired trash.
Sorry to be so harsh, but it's rather frustrating to see another Women's Champ get pushed into the background.
