Speaking of thoughtless match-making to quickly plug a gap...

The lack of effort currently being afforded the SmackDown's women division is embarrassing, borderline insulting. One could argue that by having a match geared around a potential title shot at SummerSlam, it elevates the prestige of Naomi's belt, but it really doesn't. This is nothing more than a variation on Money in the Bank, minus the gimmick, and does absolutely nothing to build any of the five women involved, the presumption being that they're all equal.

Including Lana. Exactly.

Charlotte is the clear jewel of the blue brand's struggling female troupe, and ought to emerge from this pentad the victor - but not without a brief Lana tease just to troll the audience.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
