5 Ups & 5 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Dec 3)

2. “2 Pie Toni"

Eek.

Remember when Becky Lynch referred to herself as "Becky 2 Belts"? That was fine, because Lynch was legitimately the dual Raw and SmackDown Women's Champ at the time. Fast forward to 2021 and Toni Storm is "2 Pie Toni". Not quite the same.

Toni literally called herself that during a backstage promo with Kayla Braxton on this week's show. The would-be SmackDown Women's Title challenger noted that everybody is calling her such a name after Charlotte Flair slapped a few pies in her face recently. That's doubtful, and WWE's wording here was horrible.

Watching Storm refer to herself as "2 Pie Toni" is hard to stomach. Her potential is being thrown to the dogs with the pie business, but few will be 100% bowled over to read that. WWE are dropping the ball big time with another promising young star though.
