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

2. The Bellas Insulting Paige For Her Looks Was Weak

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjVyG6E5-kw The divas didn't get much time on Smackdown like usual. Instead of their typical three minute match, they were only given about 60 seconds to do a promo backstage. Paige was announced as the number one contender to the Divas Title held by Nikki Bella. Why does she get a title shot anyway? Obviously she's talented, but WWE booked the Bellas to win at the Rumble in a tag match. They should have had Paige win to set up this title match. Isn't there storyline continuity? No. Of course not. As Paige was getting interviewed by Renee Young, Brie and Nikki showed up to make fun of Paige's pale skin. They rattled off some awful lines as jokes with Nikki calling Paige a blood sucking vampire. Paige tried to fight them off, but the twins ended up overpowering Paige and Nikki hit a forearm shot to the head to keep her down. Do you remember how the crowd was dead for the divas on Sunday? It's because they get no time. It's also because the writing of these storylines is awful. In WWE's mind, the ideal woman apparently has a tan. So what if Paige is not tanned. Not everybody is. That's life. Obviously she's going to get her revenge at same time, but it's the same old problem in WWE with poor storytelling for the divas.
