4 Ups & 5 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Dec 13)

Downs...

5. That Women's Tag

Who knows what was going through that cameraman's mind during the closing stretch of the women's tag. He totally missed Nikki Cross hitting her finish on Sonya Deville, and that botch summed up what was a total waste of everyone's time. This is not a good use of tag-team wrestling in the women's division.

The whole thing felt like a throwback to the Diva days.

Firstly, the match was set up due to Mandy Rose being a vain bitch. Secondly, it lasted less time than it'd take the average person to make a cup of coffee. Thirdly, where the hell is this all going? It's pure filler, and not the good kind. Alexa Bliss' problems with Mandy will be forgotten about after Christmas.

When fans are campaigning for female feuds outside the title pictures, this is not what they mean. WWE are going to have to find a better way to package these matches before the fast-forward button becomes law during them.
