Best and worst of SmackDown Live: 20 June, 2017

#1 Worst: Naomi’s promo

Naomi was the biggest underperformer, this week

Unlike Carmella who glowed brightly this week, the glow on Naomi seemed to flicker and fade. Her promo was a chore to listen to, sounding scripted and absolutely unnatural. In fact, when Lana entered the fray, she sounded far better than Naomi actually did.

Naomi cannot be entirely blamed for this, however. As we saw from the episode of Talking Smack following Money in the Bank, Naomi sounds far better in an unscripted environment, when she doesn’t memorise lines. If not, Naomi needs to sit down with Alexa Bliss and figure out how to deliver scripted promos more naturally!
