The plus side to this six-woman tag is that everyone worked hard and everybody will have something to strive for on TV soon (more on that later). It scores a 'Down' for one simple reason though: They lost the live crowd early and never recovered. In fairness, some of these women will only get better the more reps they work.

However, they blatantly tried to pack too much in for the sake of it here and that hurt the match. Christ knows who the agent was, but he/she probably needed to look at matches like Roxanne Perez vs. Lyra Valkyria or Ilja Dragunov vs. Tony D'Angelo and borrow their pacing. Everything just needed to be a bit less...frantic.

It's cool that these women were excited during WrestleMania weekend, and nobody can blame them for trying to get noticed in such a busy situation, but yeah - the match started sinking early on and never recovered before the end came. The whole "Mean Girls" thing the announcers reached for was exactly that.

A reach.
