4) Becky Lynch Needs To Be Pushed
Smackdown Live featured a Women’s tag team match: Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair took on Carmella and Smackdown Women’s Champion: Natalya.
It was clear from the entrances that Becky Lynch is very over with the crowd. She gets limited TV time and I feel like she could be used a lot more.
Fair enough, some time away from the title to give others the spotlight – but isn’t it time for Becky Lynch to have some direction?#SDLive

5) An Interesting Decision – Charlotte Tapped Out A Week Prior To Her Pay-Per-View Match
This isn’t meant to be a negative thing, I thought it was an interesting decision that Charlotte Flair tapped out to Natalya this week on Smackdown Live. Usually, you would just have the other person in the match (Becky) take the loss to keep the challenger looking strong.
This leaves us with some questions: does this mean Charlotte wins on Sunday? Is this WWE’s way to make Natalya look strong heading into her title match? An interesting decision none the less.
Could THIS be the scene in five days at @WWE #HIAC? @NatByNature @MsCharlotteWWE @BeckyLynchWWE @CarmellaWWE #SDLive pic.twitter.com/sqNCYFBC6l

6) WWE Has Officially Given Up On Mike Kanellis
Smackdown Live this week featured a match between Bobby Roode and Mike Kanellis. The match didn’t last too long, with Roode ending up on top after hitting the ‘Glorious’ DDT.
It seems official. WWE has given up on Mike Kanellis after a few months.
WWE should’ve started Mike Kanellis in NXT #SDLive
