4 Ups And 2 Downs From Last Night's WWE Smackdown (Nov 29)

2. 'Mella Busted

There are a lot of long-running feuds scheduled to come to a close at the TLC Pay-Per-View, and one of the most surprising is the program between Nikki Bella and Carmella. On paper, it sounded like a feud between the two women wouldn't interest anybody, but the interplay between Bella and Carmella has been really strong over the past few months.

On Smackdown, Carmella was scheduled to compete, but her match never got underway. Instead, she started cutting a particularly barbed promo addressed to John Cena, telling him he could thank her after the beating she lays on Bella, because afterwards, marriage will be the furthest thing from her mind. She also talked about how the E! Network would have to cancel Total Bellas after all the damage she's going to do to the star's face.

That brought out Bella, who sprinted to the ring and took Carmella down with an impressive tackle. Though the two women were ultimately separated before anyone could do too much damage, Bella's offense looked good and the issue felt heated - you can't ask for much more than that.
