Best and worst of SmackDown Live after Royal Rumble 2019

#4 Best/worst: Thin tag team division

I don't like the fact that RAW has to compete while SmackDown doesn't

Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville announced that they would be a part of the Elimination Chamber match to determine the new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions.

Now, the biggest issue with this announcement is that unlike their counterparts on RAW, these two women did not have to compete to enter the fray. And this exposes the fact that SmackDown Live has a severely thin roster as compared to the red brand.

But at the same time, I did not mind the fact that Mandy Rose actually brought up the fact that her issues with Naomi go back all the way to when she was on Tough Enough. I like context in my wrestling and I am a big fan of telling a backstory to make a feud more engaging.

If only Graves could shut up about Mandy Rose now...
