Chaos Ensued Amongst The SmackDown Women's Survivor Series Team.
Sonya Deville introduced the participants in the women's Smackdown Survivor Series team to which a brawl ensued after Sasha Banks wanted to beat up Shotzi. Naomi came out to even the odds between the heels and the babyfaces in that scene.
And you know what all of that means? A 6 women tag team match, Playas.
By far, the most impressive person in this match was Naomi. The finesse she showed with her series of kicks was *chefs kiss*.
Speaking of impressive, the crowd was BEHIND Aliyah and that's cool.
Naomi's assistance led to Aliyah pinning Natalya to win the entire match. I said "Naomi's assistance" for a reason because as soon as that victory, Aliyah was taken out of the Survivor Series team.
God damn, Sonya Deville legit hates POCs succeeding. First Naomi now ALIYAH!?
All lame banter aside, I've mentioned my complaints about the segments involving Naomi, Sonya Deville and Shayna Baszler and how it felt like the "groundhog day" of wrestling segments.
And I'm somewhat glad that they're trying something different that isn't "Naomi faces Shayna Baszler only for Sonya Deville to interfere".
Shinsuke Nakamura And Rick Boogs vs Angel Garza And Humberto Carrillo.
The family tag-team duo in Garza and Carrillo continues to build some good old momentum as they once again, won a match.
More wins mean more good for performers like Garza and Carrillo.
In an in-ring scene from Charlotte Flair, she did the exact opposite of the word "compliment" regarding Becky Lynch to which Toni Storm came out for a title opportunity and Charlotte was like, "Nah".
The match is going to happen at some point. It's just that the focus right now is on an inter-promotional match and like all of those matches at Survivor Series, it doesn't have any stakes whatsoever that keeps this wannabe wrestling pundit interested.
Jinder Mahal and Shanky replied to Hit Row's rhythmic talents with a freestyle rap of their own. For the second week in a row, I legit felt B Fab's lack of presence because she was the glue that stuck the entire group together. Again, what an awful decision to release her.
Jeff Hardy vs Sami Zayn.
God damn, I do not know who do I feel sorry for someone losing like that, Sami Zayn or my hairline.
Jeff Hardy wins as if you guys were even curious about who won the match.
Roman Reigns vs King Xavier Woods.
A match that should've happened on PPV and it happened on television. I'm not a fan of "having a PPV level feud facing each other in a mediocre match on TV with a DQ finish/distraction finish only to have the ACTUAL good match on PPV".
That's exactly what happened in the main event encounter. It's a shame that I'm nitpicking given that the feud is a great example of minimal and effective storytelling with "who's the real leader of WWE".
So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.
Like: Naomi's performance in the 6 women tag team match, WWE is finally doing the bare minimum with Angel Garza and Humberto Carrillo.
Didn't like: The main event was disappointing in terms of its booking.
