5 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE SmackDown (6 March - Results & Review)

1. WHY ARE WE STILL DOING THIS?!

Jade Cargill Michin B-FAB
WWE

For crying out loud, Hunter Hearst Helmsley. Yes, he's being full named for having the gall to script yet another backstage face to face between Jade Cargill and the frankly inconsequential Mia Yim and B-FAB combo. seriously, how many times do this company need to run segments or matches involving Jade and this pair before they realise that nobody cares. It was crap before, and it’s even more crap now.

Stop this madness. Just stop it.

Lining up Cargill vs. Michin next week is a waste of time. These confrontations feel like a re-run every single time, and not in a good way. How WWE managed to go from Rhea Ripley getting in Jade's face to this is nightmare fuel. What was the rational behind that during creative meetings formatting SmackDown? Did they honestly think that people would pop for Michin waving her kendo stick in Cargill's face for the 8,667th time?!

Urgh, it's all so tedious. Jade will run through Michin like she's nothing next week, but Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett will have to sit there and pretend the latter is a real threat to the champ anyway. Again, just quit it. You're beginning to get on everyone's nerves, World Wrestling Entertainment. Yep, the entire promotion gets full named for the cheek of it too!

It says everything that directors could sneak in an ancient segment between these women and no-one would notice. They've been saying almost exactly the same things to one another anyway. Move on, please, and fast. Cancel the match - it doesn't need to happen and won't add a thing to next week's program.
