4 Ups And 4 Downs From Last Night's WWE SmackDown (May 21)

2. Paige Wonders If Tamina Is In The Wrong Division

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7i-YJlZrXE During Paige's promo where she talked about being out of action and coming back for the Divas Title, she took a very noticeable shot at Tamina. When she brought her up the first time she referred to Tamina as Naomi's "boyfriend" and then said "Tamina" repeatedly in a masculine away. Paige followed up that insult by saying: "Tamina, aren't you competing in the wrong division?" There was barely a reaction to it, but it was Paige's way of suggesting that perhaps Tamina shouldn't be in the divas division. There's nothing wrong with trash talk as a way to get a story over. We welcome that. However, suggesting that a woman is in the wrong division just because she doesn't look like some of the other girls. It's actually surprising that WWE would let Paige say that and that they would leave the promo in on a taped show. Maybe Tamina was okay with it, but she also sent out this tweet. https://twitter.com/TaminaSnuka/status/601562294238187521 It was a bit odd for a babyface like Paige to say that and it really didn't get much of a reaction either. No idea if Paige regrets doing it. She's trying to be edgy and in that sense it worked. It's not something that needs to happen again, though.
