6 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE SmackDown (8 Nov - Results & Review)

5. A Busy Women’s Tag (Match Of The Night!)

If you only watch one match from this week's episode, make it Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill vs. Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton. All four women gelled well, both as partners and as opponents. No surprises there with Belair and Cargill, 'cause everyone knows what they've got to offer by now, but there might well have been something there with Jax and Stratton challenging the champs if they didn't have their own stuff going on.

That's a PLE match WWE look set to miss out on then.

Jade going nose to nose with Nia was one of the bout's best bits. Fans seemed into that, so it's something WWE can spin back around to down the line. All these reps seem to be helping Cargill too - she looks a lot less lost than she did during her first Women's Tag Title reign, and her chemistry with Bianca is locked in right now. They're only going to get better as well.

Candice LeRae getting involved gave her a consistent plot thread throughout the show, which is a major plus and not something one can say about LeRae very often. She'll benefit from trying to outshine Tiffany as Nia's go-to lackey. That was never going to be Stratton spot for good anyway. She has bigger ambitions than fetching the champ coffee.

Everything going on here felt positive, constructive and like it's actually heading somewhere. Bianca and Jade have business with Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez over on Raw, Nia and Tiffy are about to blow up, and LeRae is sniffing in and around that to take Stratton's place.

Good vibes all in.
