2. Wrong Way Round

Seeing Toxic Attraction on SmackDown full-time will be nice, but this Women's Tag division would probs be way better if they were leading the way as champs and beating thrown-together units like Raquel Rodriguez and Aliyah. Y'know, instead of it being the other way round.

Something just feels...off and low-rent about the way these belts have been presented since WWE replaced Sasha Banks and Naomi. It's a real struggle to care about the things, or even who's holding them. That won't change until Triple H moves on from mind-numbing 'odd couples'.

He really needs to do that.

Also, this was a chance missed. Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne could easily have been fine challengers (and eventual successors) for Raquel and Aliyah, but no. Now, they've got an unnecessary loss on their record and already seem like just another pairing.
