8 Ups & 7 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Nov 5)

2. This Is Awful

So two of the absolute worst wrestlers on Raw have finally aligned. After facing off before and during Evolution, then again on last week's show, Tamina and Nia Jax officially came together last night, picking Ember Moon apart in a cold beatdown angle after the former NXT starlet had already fallen to 'The Irresistible Force.' It was a predictable follow-up executed dully, and it doesn't bode well for the rumoured women's tag division.

Tamina isn't over, has never been over, and never will be over. WWE haven't done anything with her in years, and people aren't going to suddenly care about her because she is being paired with an office favourite. Monsters should, in theory, be the easiest kind of wrestling character to rebuild, but you can't rebuild something that was never structurally sound in the first place.

A union between the company's two most imposing powerhouses sounds great in theory, but we're not talking about Aja Kong and Bull Nakano here...
