9 Ups & 0 Downs From WWE SmackDown (7 Mar - Results & Review)
1. Naomi & Bianca Sell, Sell, Sell Their Emotions
Bianca Belair and Naomi fully deserve the top spot this week. Both went above and beyond to cry real tears during a heated interrogation from one friend to another. Bianca pleaded with her pal to cut the noise and just tell her straight up if she was the one who attacked Jade Cargill last last year. Yes, it's true. Naomi did it. She did it for The Rock...erm...the 'EST.
There was more than a hint of Rikishi in 2000 about all of this, but with one major difference. Naomi's heel turn will work. There's way more to the story incoming, and you shouldn't be ultra-shocked if Bianca turns heel on Cargill too. Dunno, it just feels like something else will happen, because that’s twice now Jade has rag-dolled Naomi - so a balanced match between them doesn’t appear to be on the cards.
Serious well done to both Belair and Naomi for turning on the waterworks throughout their promo. This heartfelt face to face didn’t feel scripted, which is a major compliment to both. Some critics may say they over-egged it, but these women were friends behind the scenes long before becoming tag-team partners. The emotion between them was and is believable.
Bianca feels like she's been lied to and sabotaged. Meanwhile, Jade is strutting around the place like the bloody Terminator. She's out for blood, and it's making for some good TV. This will go down as one of the most realistically emotional WWE segments in a while. Belair and Naomi, in particular, got themselves worked up and told a plausible story of fractured friendships and jealousy everyone can relate to.
