3- Nikki Bella and Naomi vs Carmella and Natalya

Nikki Bella and Carmella’s feud continues to heat up

Grade: 6.5/10

This was a relatively good bout, although anything would’ve beaten last week’s two-minute waste of a segment. Carmella and Nikki Bella’s animosity continued here, with the Princess of Staten Island managing to gain the upper hand over Bella once again. Carmella continuing to pin the longest reigning Divas Champion has skyrocketed her credibility, and she is arguably the top heel of the division alongside Alexa Bliss.

Although this was a quick match that wasn’t anything special from an in-ring standpoint, the continuation of the Nikki-Carmella feud was the main focus, so the match quality wasn’t as important as the storytelling anyway. Overall, a good way to increase the animosity between Bella and Carmella, as this feud continues to heat up due to Nikki being unable to gain the upper hand.
