6 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Sept 30)

3. Not The Most Promising Squash

Oh boy.

Top Dolla and Ashante 'Thee' Adonis didn't sparkle during their squash tag match win over Los Lotharios. It ran a few minutes, so it might've been better had WWE tacked on another five (at least) to see what Hit Row have in their locker. Are they worthy of facing The Usos for those belts? Let's find out!

Instead, the promotion dashed through the squash match door, and that feels kinda lazy in a division that needs some steam. Braun Strowman has been running through tags like they're nothing lately, so it'd be nice to see WWE start to build the division back up. Squash matches like this one won't cut it.

Crowd responses to Hit Row have started to die a slow death already too. They should be kinda worried, because WWE typically doesn't show a lot of patience for things like this. If this was supposed to sell HR as contenders, then it failed.
