The gimmicky tag pitting Sonya Deville and Charlotte Flair vs. Ronda Rousey and Naomi was fine for what it was, but there were a few glaring issues that held it back. Firstly, you'd think that Ronda was the one feuding with Deville instead of Naomi.

Second, what was up with the post-match?

Flair left Sonya to take an arm bar from Ronda f*cking Rousey (who snaps limbs for fun), but Deville didn't even ask her partner what the deal was afterwards. Nope, Sonya just kind of stood next to an unhappy Charlotte outside the ring and...failed to show any pain or emotion whatsoever.

WWE will have to tie this bit up on TV. They can't have a brutal authority figure like Deville willingly suffer possible broken arms for Flair without some explanation. Now, one would also be forgiven for thinking that Sonya has moved away from Naomi.
