13) Absolution Is Dead
There was an Absolution reunion backstage of Smackdown Live this week. Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville met with their leader Paige. Paige announced that she wouldn’t be giving them special treatment now that she is General Manager.
She also announced that the faction is officially dead.
Consider this the DISSOLUTION of ABSOLUTION…

14) Match Announced For Next Week On Smackdown
Paige also revealed a match for next week’s episode of Smackdown Live. Mandy Rose will face off against Becky Lynch.
Becky vs Mandy next week….. Great. They use Sasha on #RAW to elevate others and on #SDLive they use Becky to elevate others.

15) Still No SANITY Or Andrade Almas
It appears as if Smackdown is keeping their new NXT additions until after Backlash. After being acquired in the Superstar Shake-Up, we haven’t seen Andrade Almas or SANITY appear on the blue brand yet.
Can’t wait for them all to show up.
Be patient, @WWEUniverse. @AndradeCienWWE & @Zelina_VegaWWE are coming to #SDLive, very soon… pic.twitter.com/1Oyl8RLfkS

The main event of Smackdown Live was the 6-Woman’s tag team match. Charlotte Flair, Asuka, and Becky Lynch took on the IIconics and Carmella. The match was eventually won by Asuka, who tapped out Peyton Royce.
Asuka gets back in the win column!
