3. Chinlocks And Screaming

Last week, Bianca Belair battled Queen Zelina in a short but competitive little match that saw the queen counter several moves from her stronger opponent before falling.

Monday, Belair tangled with her tag team partner, Carmella. The match did not go nearly as well.

Carmella spent a bunch of time screaming on the outside as her mask was put on. Then she slapped Bianca and ran away. She took over for a bit, locking in a chinlock and screaming more, before Belair finally had enough and nailed a suplex and KOD for the win.

Sorry, this was no good, not even from a sports entertainment standpoint. The crowd was dead until the finisher hit, which was probably more of a sigh of relief that it was over.
