WWE SmackDown Live Results: Analysing and grading each segment (January 3rd):

Dolph Ziggler shockingly turned heel after another loss

Carmella vs. Aliyah:

Carmella picked up the win after some help from James Ellsworth

Result: Carmella beats Aliyah via submission.

Grade: 7/10

The match here was nothing special and was ultimately forgettable considering both women aren’t known for their extraordinary in-ring talent.

The focus here was on Carmella and James Ellsworth’s budding romance, which is a confusing but intriguing pairing. It will be interesting to see where this story leads, and it is a clever way to use Carmella, who has been left with nothing to work with while the Natalya/Bella and Lynch/Bliss feuds progress.

It is yet to be seen where the Carmella/Ellsworth pairing goes, but it could be a solid story for the next few weeks while SD Live’s other women are occupied. Overall, a weak match, but another chapter in the fascinatingly odd story between Carmella and James Ellsworth.
