4 Ups & 5 Downs From WWE SmackDown (June 3)

3. Women’s Division = Idiots

Need more counterproductive misery? Here's another helping.

Shotzi got locked in the dressing room last time, and it was Aliyah's turn this week. The ditzy babyface was trapped before eventually breaking free and making her way to the ring for a 'Six-Pack Challenge' designed to establish Ronda Rousey's next SmackDown Women's Title challenger.

It's like WWE want to make younger members of the women's locker room look stupid. Sorry for the all the baffled questions during these 'Downs', but someone has to ask this: How the hell is this tripe going to get anyone over?! It's infuriating.

Shotzi acting like every WWE bitch ever, Aliyah playing dumb and everyone getting themselves into the same scrapes and jams every week is not character development. These are bad sketches that undermine workers and borderline wreck matches they're involved in.
