Losers: The SmackDown Women's Division

This was a sloppy triple threat match that did nothing to sell fans on the upcoming women's Elimination Chamber match, which honestly looks like it could be one of the worst matches of the year.

Sonya Deville showed her usual promise, but that was about it. WWE's obnoxious insistence on testing the waters with the far worse Mandy Rose continued, as she got the win for her team by pinning Naomi.

The only thing that this match accomplished was remind us just how thin the SmackDown women's division is aside from the top three. The video package shown for Asuka later on was in some ways apt - there's nobody credible enough to challenge her right now, with Charlotte and Becky embroiled with each other and Ronda Rousey.

Only the superstar shakeup can remedy this situation and that won't come until afterwards.

Nikki Cross should be moved to SmackDown permanently now.
