5 Ups And 6 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Dec 1st)
4. Breaking Bella
Its high time we got some answers. Since SummerSlam, Nikki Bella has been doing her best to draw an iota of heat in her feud with her sister Brie. Then Brie, humiliated for a month as Nikkis servant, liplocks AJ Lee to cost her the Divas Championship, thus turning heel for no apparent reason. Yet on Monday night, fans still saw Nikki swatting Bries arm when she posed at the top of the ramp and giving her a couple dirty looks. After the match when Brie went to check on Nikki, the Divas champ shoved her away. So are they on good terms or what? Bries indentured servitude to Nikki has ended, so shes staying with her voluntarily. No reason given, no reason for the fans to care about them. If Brie is playing Nikki, that train better hurry up and pull up to the station.
Scott is a former journalist and longtime wrestling fan who was smart enough to abandon WCW during the Monday Night Wars the same time as the Radicalz. He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
