Better late than never.

That was the thought which went flooding through this fan's mind when he saw Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn return to screens on SmackDown. The pair went AWOL after shining against Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler over the summer, and that was a real shame. Give 'em a chance to build something, please.

Fingers crossed that's possible now the Scots are back. Alba and Isla had been talking about putting a curse on the Women's Tag-Team Titles, but that's seemingly been dropped for now in favour of a feud opposite Kairi Sane and Asuka. Or, maybe WWE will come back to that plot. Time will tell.

For now, it's just great to see the pair back on programming. Best of all, it seems Trips fancies lining up a non-title rivalry, and that's practically unheard of in the women's tag division these days. Fyre and Dawn vs. Sane and Asuka could be epic if handled correctly. This was a top start.
