WWE Smackdown Live November 1st: Analysing and grading each segment

#3 Alexa Bliss and Carmella vs. Nikki Bella and Becky Lynch:

Will Bliss capture the Smackdown Women’shampionship next week?

Grade: 7/10

Another very short match did little to excite fans, but it was a smart decision to give Bliss the pinfall over Lynch, one week before their anticipated title match in Glasgow, Scotland. The post-match promo from both Carmella and Bliss highlighted their heel traits, as both women appeared arrogant, (challenging Raw’s women), mean and determined.

One misstep, however, was the overwhelming focus on the women’s Survivor Series bout rather than Bliss’ title shot next week on Smackdown Live. Bliss should have been playing up her superiority over Lynch, much more than she did, but unfortunately, the Survivor Series match was the main talking point.

Overall, another short bout, but a strong post-match promo from the heels that focused on Bliss’ title opportunity and the women’s Survivor Series bout.
