5 Ups & 3 Downs From WWE SmackDown (19 July - Results & Review)

Ups...

5. Not ‘Tiffy Time’…Yet!

This might come as a shock to regular readers, but your writer doesn't actually mind Michin scoring the win over Tiffany Stratton. That's largely due to the circumstances surrounding Mia Yim's moment. Tiff was distracted by Bayley attacking Nia Jax at ringside, then Michin grabbed the surprise victory.

It'd be silly to argue about Michin being unimportant because she never wins matches then turn around and bitch when she wins a match here or there. A lot of people will dump all over Stratton snagging MITB then staring at the lights on Friday, but her long-term prospects remain brighter than most.

She'll be fine.

Tiffany will presumably be next in line for a shot at Bayley unless Nia springs a title shocker at SummerSlam. This union between the heels is doomed to fail at some stage anyway - you're not looking at BFFs for life, let's be honest. This match was serviceable and pushed the idea that Stratton caring about Jax's business is detrimental.

That's a win.
