10 Questions from WrestleMania 33 that we most need answering

#9 Was the SmackDown women’s match demoted or promoted?

Would they have preferred to main event the kick-off show?

The Six-Pack challenge match was originally billed on the kick-off show, which caused quite a lot of resistance from the WWE Universe. If these are the days of the Women’s revolution, then it seems only fitting to find a place for both belts on the main card.

So when it was revealed that the IC title match would be taking its place, it appeared as though cooler heads had prevailed and the SmackDown women were being given the respect they deserved.

However, you could argue that going from kick-off show to pre-main event palette cleanser isn’t much of a promotion at all. In fact, the kick-off show might have been more desirable. On the kick-off show, the matches get a decent introduction from the panel, and the match also gets discussed by Hall of Famers.

True, you aren’t officially on the WrestleMania card, but in the days of the WWE Network, the difference between the two seems to be fading a little.

Most people who tuned in for the main show would have also watched the kick-off show, and at least here the SmackDown women could have presented themselves as the main attraction of the first two hours.

Far be it from me to decide what’s best for these women, however, and I’m sure that if given the options again, all six of them would have chosen to be on the main card. It’s just a shame that the match itself, and Naomi’s title victory, in particular, got swept under the radar a little.
