4 Ups & 5 Downs From WWE SmackDown (20 Sept - Results & Review)

Ups...

4. The Double Pin Finish

Right, that's enough moping around like Raven on an episode of WCW Nitro in 1998.

The heavily-promoted tag bout pitting Bayley and Naomi vs. Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton was one of the best things this week's SmackDown had going for it. WWE laid the stakes on thick by alleging that either babyface would be gone from blue brand action "permanently" should they lose. The woman who pinned Jax or Stratton would bag a title shot too.

Naturally, creative went with the path of least resistance and bought themselves some time by having Bayley and Naomi sink in a double pin on Jax. Now, both have a valid claim to getting that title crack at Bad Blood. Does anyone else smell a three way incoming? If not, then there's tension to work with between pals.

Turning Naomi heel and having her appear desperate at this stage in her career wouldn't be the worst idea in the world. All round, WWE did a neat job with keeping the story rolling through to the coming PLE. Tiff's Money In The Bank cash-in still lingers in the background too.
