Loser: The SmackDown Women's Division

While the show opener was tenuous, this was downright nonsensical. Why is Alexa Bliss, a Raw superstar, getting a SmackDown women's title shot? Why would WWE even have the inkling of revisiting the worst feud of 2017 between her and Bayley? Why is Alexa Bliss getting a spotlight on SmackDown when actual blue brand superstars like Asuka, Kairi Sane, and Ember Moon, all of whom could have a great match with Bayley, are sitting in catering?

It makes zero sense. Zero. It's another damning indictment of the "Wild Card" rule showing that nothing and no one is safe anymore.


Winner: R-Truth

R-Truth continues to be the saving grace of whatever show he's on. That's as much an indictment of the "creative" process as anything else, but R-Truth has always been entertaining, and he's making this 24/7 title a hit. It finally got involved in an actual match last night, and there were a lot of funny spots.

R-Truth and Elias would even battle underneath the ring.

It's fun variety. Fun variety is what this company desperately needs.
