Social media hasn't been kind to this gymnastics display since WWE aired it on last night's SmackDown. Some on Twitter think that the match (which was more of an angle than a full-blown bout) was a waste of Sasha Banks, but look on the bright side here: Reginald was clearly loving this chance to shine.

It's hard to begrudge the guy that.

He got to show off his athleticism for a few minutes, then did his job and tapped to the Bank Statement. Despite being obvious filler, this was fine, and it should power WWE forwards towards another SmackDown Women's Title match between Banks and Carmella.

Regi was due some comeuppance for repeatedly interfering in Sasha's business with 'Mella too. Every match on TV doesn't need to be some five-star classic - sometimes, it's OK to further a story and keep things both simple and easy to watch.
