WWE SmackDown had an interesting show lined up for fans

#1 and #2 Flopped on WWE SmackDown: Ruby Riott and Liv Morgan

The Riott Squad need redemption on WWE SmackDown

This week on WWE SmackDown, Ruby Riott and Liv Morgan locked horns with Natalya and Tamina. It would be fairly easy to say that the Blue brand has not been the best for the two Superstars over the last few weeks, and tonight was no different. The Riott Squad were subjected to another underwhelming loss at the hands of their opponents.

During this match on WWE SmackDown, Natalya looked particularly aggressive as she went straight after both her opponents. Even Tamina did her job by putting on a few dominant moves on display. However, both Ruby Riott and Liv Morgan struggled throughout the match, and things got worse when Billie Kay decided to walk towards the ring.

Kay was seen sporting a T-shirt with Tamina’s name written over it as she attempted to pledge her support to The Riott Squad’s opponents for a change. The latter was still distracted and ended up taking another loss on WWE SmackDown. This booking has unfolded on the Blue brand every week for over a month now. At this point, it is dull, to say the least.
