5. A Fun Enough Six Woman Sprint

Unlike the fellas during their Elimination Chamber segment, it's safe to say Roxanne Perez, Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan vs. Bayley, Bianca Belair and Naomi didn’t waste any time. There were a few nice moments sprinkled through a fun sprint: Bianca and Naomi targeted Liv and Raquel over the Jade Cargill stuff, then Perez pinned Bayley with her finish. Post-match, Alexa Bliss hit Roxanne with a Wyatt-esque finish to remind everyone that she's involved on Saturday too.

This wasn't anything that'll convince those sitting on the fence to watch Chamber, but it was a decent little match and better than the guys droning on earlier. Of interest, Bianca quickly echoed suggestions from Bayley during a backstage promo that Morgan and Rodriguez attacked Jade, and Naomi stayed quiet on the subject. WWE has done a really good job of keeping things mysterious regarding this 'whodunit' business.

It's entirely plausible that either Belair or Naomi could turn heel and be outed as the aggressor soon. They're certainly going all in on attacking so-called perpetrators one minute, then dancing around in cute matching outfits the next. Hey, maybe both of them conspired to take Cargill out, then this Liv and Raquel stuff ruined their plans to enjoy a lengthy reign with the Women's Tag straps.

You don't need to go out of your way to watch this six-woman tag from SmackDown, or anything, but stick it on if you're in the mood for something rapid fire that has a few sub-plots hiding beneath the surface. That's always fun.
