Why was Billie Kay, who assembled the Natalya and Tamina team on WWE SmackDown, cheering for the opposition ie. The Riott Squad? If the idea is to make Kay the manager for The Riott Squad, going forward, it would be a terrible idea because there's a huge disconnect between her over-the-top vibe and The Riott Squad's punk rock gimmick.
One of the central issues with the WWE SmackDown product overall is just how badly written some of the characters are. The idea of long-term storytelling is often discarded in favor of a cheap pop or a chuckle, as we saw here.
Speaking of bad writing on the WWE SmackDown brand, did you notice how it took Roman Reigns much longer than the rest of the world to figure out that Adam Pearce had made the main event?
Are we suggesting that the Universal Champion himself does not watch the WWE SmackDown product? Maybe he reads SmackDown results on SK Wrestling.
