Alba Fyre was a late replacement for the injured Shotzi vs. Naomi. Truthfully, the match was better for Alba's veteran instincts, because she knew the task at hand here: This was the Naomi show, and there was no need to deviate from that showcase feel. Both women worked hard to make something of their clash though.

Honestly, this guy would love to see WWE do more with Fyre and Isla Dawn - they've got something with the witchy gimmick, and they deserve to properly explore that curse story with the Women's Tag-Team Titles. WWE has likely forgotten all about that at this point though, which is a bummer.

Oh well, no complaints with the match here or Naomi's submission win. She feels fresh after a few years outside WWE doing other things, and the ex-IMPACT star will be a credit to the Chamber lineup over in Perth when it comes.

Simple and straightforward work wins!
