4. No Divas Match Hurts The "Divas Revolution"

There was supposed to be a divas match on the show. It was advertised on Raw as Becky Lynch taking on Nikki Bella in a non-title match. The match was taking off the show because Nikki spent Tuesday with her boyfriend John Cena as he underwent surgery on his broken nose. Since Nikki wasn't there, WWE made the decision to have no divas match on Smackdown. That felt a mistake because there really wasn't much of a presence for the diva wrestlers other than a brief video package about Becky Lynch. What WWE did do was have Lynch face Brie Bella on Main Event, but are there really a lot of people that watch that show? No, not really. What WWE should have done is have Lynch in the ring for her match with Nikki, then have sister Brie walk out to say that Lynch doesn't deserve to face Nikki and then do the Lynch/Brie match on Smackdown. They could have also done a tag match or something to give the women a role on the show. It felt like a mistake to not have a divas match.
