5 Ups & 6 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Jan 7)

5. Still No End In Sight

Someone needs to start explaining why Sonya Deville has been given free rein to make Naomi’s life a misery - it’s torturous to watch this feud plod on every week without ever really moving forwards. Also, how many other workers do they need to incorporate just to spin the same yarn?

Women like Shayna Baszler have been dipping in and out without any rhyme or reason, and now Charlotte Flair is involved too. This rivalry reached saturation point a while ago, and WWE must start thinking about how they can wrap it up. It's doing nothing for Sonya or Naomi, which means it's a bad storyline.

It's either that or creative actually begin making sense of all this. Naomi cannot keep falling for the same old tricks time and time again, and Deville has to justify her intense dislike of the woman to Adam Pearce. Again, why is she being allowed to take the p*ss week after week?

Meh.
