6 Ups & 2 Downs From WWE SmackDown (16 Aug - Results & Review)

1. Nia Jax Prefers Destruction Over Pink

It's clear what WWE were aiming for with Friday's celebration segment, but it didn't kick the show off with much energy. Fans wanted something a bit more impactful than Tiffany Stratton and Pretty Deadly gushing over Nia Jax before Michin cleaned house with a kendo stick to line up her Women's Title challenge.

This should've been placed elsewhere on the show, or been kept a wee bit shorter.

Tiffany ignoring Nia's Roman Reigns-esque 'bow to me/acknowledge me' idea is something to keep an eye on mind. It's only a matter of time before Stratton vs. Jax becomes the feud in SmackDown's female ranks, and let's not forget that Tiff still has her Money In The Bank briefcase to cash in.

It wouldn't be the worst plan in the world to have PD hang around Nia like a bad smell too. Putting together some sort of Queen's Court faction could work well for Jax, especially if it leads to the split from Stratton long-term. For now, this skit was a swing and a miss.

Good on paper, but not so much in execution.
