7) 6-Woman Tag Team Match Overkill
Smackdown Live this week featured a 6-woman tag team match. Charlotte Flair, Naomi, and Becky Lynch took on the Riott Squad. It seems like WWE loves using the Smackdown Women in these types of matches as we constantly are seeing them.
Let’s get a little more creative here.
they all deserve better than 6-woman tag team matches every week

The 6-woman matches on #RAW & #SDLive has been overkill. I can only imagine the purpose behind them is the women get less segments on the shows & you want as many “as seen on TV recently” for relevance when entering the Rumble match.

8) The Usos Appeared On Smackdown Following The Arrest of Jey Uso
In case you missed it, Jey Uso was arrested over the weekend for allegedly driving while intoxicated. The news broke a few hours prior to Smackdown Live.
There were some questions about if WWE would keep them off the show for the week. They did not, cutting a promo backstage before being attacked by Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable.

9) Tag Team Match Set For Next Week
On Smackdown Live, it was confirmed that we will be seeing a tag team match next week: Rusev and Aiden English against the Ascension.
A bit random but could be fun?
That’s actually intriguing.
The Ascension, Rusev & Aiden English are all on losing streaks, so it’s anybody’s match.
Also, when you put English vs The Ascension, I think the squash probabilities cancel out, resulting an actual, competitive match.
Basically, it’s lit.#SDLive
