Downs...

7. A Muddled Mess

Maybe it was due to the unusual triple threat rules (one woman from each tag team was in the ring at the same time), but the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship match was just a hot mess.

The match itself never really got untracked, as it was just a series of rollups, brawling and a few wrestling spots mixed together. There wasn’t much cohesiveness to the match, and it was tough to find a flow to it.

The ending itself was pretty predictable, with the typical situation of one wrestler (Alexa Bliss) hitting a finisher and then another (Sasha Banks) stealing the pin, this time by rolling Bliss up.

It didn’t feel like anything more than a TV match, and not even a really good one.
