6 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE SmackDown (July 31)

4. Sonya Deville Plays Barber

Speak of the devils, or devil singular.

Anyone looking forward to more smoochy smoochy comedy between Otis and Mandy Rose might've been disappointed when Sonya Deville attacked her old partner and cut off some of her blonde locks, but this was for the best. Sonya was able to show how much she's improving once more.

Her attack was very well done. Deville came across as a psychopath obsessed with tearing Mandy to pieces, and Rose sold her ass off by bumping like she was Mr. Perfect in 1988. OK, maybe not that good. This skit was a highlight of the show however, and it should hopefully lead to a blow off match at SummerSlam.

Sonya and Mandy deserve ring time more than most others on the brand, male or female, and they'd make some sort of 'Street Fight' gimmick work. One small downside to this one was that The Miz and John Morrison dropped by to offer some smart-arsed jokes.

A fade to black moment as Rose pulled herself together would've been better.
