Women’s Action on Smackdown Live!
We get a solid tag team match with Becky Lynch and Naomi taking on Natalya and Alexa Bliss. With a new group of women on Smackdown and fresh characters, WWE is realizing that they can develop more than one storyline. You have all the women chasing the new championship and putting on good matches until Backlash, but you also have Carmella being a heel from Jersey and attacking Nikki Bella.
I like Nikki as a heel, but I do think she needs to be booked like this. Natalya and Alexa are good heels, but Carmella can pass all of them up by continuing to target and attack Nikki. The fans cheer her now and understand her neck injury was so serious. You have to enjoy the comeback from her and her being able to help a young woman in a storyline. Keep attacking and keep the new women getting all of the opportunities. Also, Becky Lynch better win the championship. She is the one who can really lead this division with great contests.
Heath Slater and Rhyno Advance
The Headbangers, yes you read that right and you did not read that on Instant Messenger, took a loss on Smackdown. Slater gets beaten down and Rhyno drags him to his corner. Rhyno hits the Gore and picks up the win for his team.
The match was less to be desired for, but the segment of Meet The Slaters was pretty funny. WWE has a star in Heath and are beginning to realize how much people like his genuine personality. He is a guy that people cheer for and the dynamic between him and Rhyno is refreshing and unique. Team Hell No comedy and a rising star with a legend. I like the potential for this.
