4. A ‘Mania Rematch Not Worth Watching

This was one of the less worthy rematches.

Natalya and Tamina proved fine enough challengers on 'Mania 37's second night, but did we really need to see it again? Worse, WWE are seemingly heading for yet another battle between the veterans and their rival reigning Women's Tag Champs.

Nat and Tam picked up the win here to secure themselves another crack at Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler. That'll presumably happen at WrestleMania Backlash in a few weeks, which is pretty boring. The women's tag division is hardly WWE's biggest priority, but they need to properly establish some fresh hurdles or split Nia and Shayna.

Being honest, this team is starting to strangle Baszler completely. She'd be a fine opponent for Bianca Belair, for example, and really shouldn't be putting up with some mushy love interest angle between Jax and Reginald.
