#1 Best: The Naomi storyline is actually intriguing

Naomi picked up a big win on WWE SmackDown this week when she pinned Shayna Baszler in almost no time.

Yes, this story has maybe overstayed its welcome in a sense, but at the same time, Naomi is quickly becoming a very popular babyface.

The crowd is firmly behind her and she may soon become a serious contender for the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship. Do not be surprised if she competes against Charlotte Flair at the Royal Rumble next. Hey, she may even pick up a win!


#1 Worst: The rest of the WWE SmackDown tag team division

Honestly, the company has given us no reason to root for Erik and Ivar, the Viking Raiders yet. Sure, they got a big win but did it register? Similarly, they haven't given us a reason to root against WWE SmackDown heels- Shanky and Jinder Mahal either.

If anything, the audience may feel a sense of indifference towards them. Some amount of build-up leading up to this match to build intrigue would have helped.
