2 Things WWE did right and 2 things they did wrong on SmackDown Live (16 July 2019)

#2 Did wrong: Women's Tag Team title match

The Women's Tag Team Titles were not defended at Extreme Rules. However, The IIconics put the twin belts on the line on SmackDown Live this week and The Kabuki Warriors challenged the IIconics on the blue brand. Though Asuka and Kairi Sane won the match by count-out Peyton Royce and Billie Kay managed to retain the twin belts.

The women's tag team division is in serious jeopardy and we witnessed another disappointing match on SmackDown Live this week. Considering the Kabuki Warriors defeated the IIconics in Japan recently, we were expecting to see them as the new champions.

#1 Did right: A new feud between Ali and Nakamura was teased

Nakamura tussled Finn Balor in the kick-off show at Extreme Rules. Nakamura defeated Balor to become the new Intercontinental Champion. Although Nakamura won the US Title before, it was his first Intercontinental Title. Since Bray Wyatt already assaulted Finn Balor on RAW, the feud between Balor and Nakamura probably ended at Extreme Rules.

Nakamura's next feud was teased on SmackDown Live this week. Ali confronted the new Intercontinental Champion when the latter was giving a backstage interview. As a matter of fact, the former 205 Live Superstar congratulated Nakamura for his victory at Extreme Rules. Considering both Nakamura and Ali are exceptional performers, they could tear the house down at SummerSlam.
