I liked and disliked the Women's Tag Team match on SmackDown Live in equal parts. While they were both still not 'The Usos', Naomi and Carmella were both individually impressive in the ring. I liked that the IIconics did not participate because they didn't have to. Corey Graves did a fantastic job on commentary, elaborating on their strategy.
That said, I thought Rose and Deville are still not 'there' yet. And none of these three teams are even half as good as say, Sasha and Bayley, and so I'm a little fearful for the division. It does not matter how strong the protagonist is, if the antagonists are not convincing.
So that was my analysis of this week's episode of SmackDown Live. Like I said at the beginning that I thought there was far more good than bad, really.
I would also like to hear your opinion!
