Down...

1. Logic? What Logic?

Regular readers will know that the ongoing strained friendship angle involving Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair has haunted the 'Downs' section for a while. It's just...not good enough, and the unrealistic mediocrity continued on this week's show.

Michael Cole said that Bianca came out to help Sasha for her match against Nia Jax because Jax was dominating and her 'Mania bout was in jeopardy. What? Why would Belair care if Banks retained the SmackDown Women's Title or not? She won the Royal Rumble, so her WrestleMania spot is set.

WWE are clearly trying to follow the same path they did for "odd couple" combos like Shawn Michaels and Steve Austin or Batista and John Cena in the past, but it's not working. Little glimmers of light, like Sasha and Bianca bickering, show promise - they're few and far between though.

End this madness before it's too late. Their match is three weeks away.
