5 Ups & 3 Downs From WWE SmackDown (21 Feb - Results & Review)

2. Honestly? A Little Dull!

Triple H has work to do on Tiffany Stratton's alignment. It's all over the place. One minute, she's a champion babyface rife with fighting spirit who fans love. The next, she's playing the old bitchy brat character like it's NXT all over again and she's a definitive heel. Sort that out pronto, please. This 50/50 stuff is doing Tiffy no favours.

Her match vs. Candice LeRae on this week's show never really got going. Yours truly has to admit he's now split on the upcoming Elimination Chamber tag with Trish Stratus as well. It's definitely cool to see Trish, but it doesn't feel like Stratton should be focusing on anything other than Charlotte Flair right now. This is either the most important match of her career or it isn't.

Beating Nia Jax and Candice one more time alongside the legendary Stratus won't help that fight.

Finally, what was up with Nia’s move on Trish and Tiffy? She just…sat down rather than hitting the Annihilator as usual. Something clearly went wrong there. Perhaps Jax saw that Stratus (who was laying on top of Stratton) was slightly out of position and didn't want to risk injuring her. Fair play, but the move did look horrible regardless.

Overall, Stratton vs. LeRae was a dull affair that didn't do much to make the division look like one primed for WrestleMania season. Maybe that's a tad harsh, because this is one match and that's all, but there are genuine concerns about where WWE could take things in coming months.

Speaking of which...
