On the Christmas special episode of SmackDown Live, we saw a very interesting backstage segment featuring Mandy Rose, Sonya Deville, and Jimmy Uso. Rose tried to get Jimmy under the mistletoe, but was beaten up by Uso's wife, Naomi.

Well, this was one of the edgiest segments we saw on WWE TV this year, and it will definitely have a follow up on the next episode of SD Live. The way this feud develops will be very exciting, as it has been a long time since we got a mixed tag team feud in the WWE.

Mandy Rose can easily play the role of a heel in this feud, and with the Usos without a storyline currently, Jimmy can be utilised in this rivalry between Naomi and the Golden Goddess.

The only missing element in this feud is a male superstar who can align himself with Rose. So here are the 2 male superstars who should join Mandy and 3 who should not.


#1 Should not - Big Show

Big Show is one of the few superstars who was a part of WWE's Attitude Era and is also active in the ring currently. Not long ago, we saw the Big Show return to the blue brand and join hands with Sheamus and Cesaro. The trio are no longer together, but he played a solid role as a heel, and the WWE Creative would be wanting another heel run from the Giant on TV.

The Big Show is a veteran, and has been a part of several feuds which had a storyline theme, just like the current one on SD Live. But given that he is well past his prime, and will be a complete mismatch in this feud, the creative should look for another option.

#1 Should be - Shinsuke Nakamura

The Rockstar and the Golden Goddess could continue their team for a longer time as well

Shinsuke Nakamura recently lost the United States Championship, and with the WWE doing away with the rematch clause, expect the Artist to move on to feud with a newer opponent. Instead of inserting him in yet another singles feud, the creative team could freshen up his character by having him team up with Mandy Rose to battle Jimmy Uso and Naomi.

The King of String Style has poor mic skills, and if this partnership with Rose works well, the WWE can also use Mandy as his mouthpiece in the future. Given that Nakamura would be directionless on SD Live, this feud would at least guarantee us Nakamura on TV every week.

Mandy Rose and Shinsuke Nakamura can make a formidable team in the future if given the necessary TV time and opportunities.

#2 Should not - Luke Harper

Luke Harper has been away from WWE TV since his tag team partner Erick Rowan got injured way back in August 2018. The former tag team champion was rumored to return on RAW, forming an alliance with the Eater of the Worlds, Bray Wyatt. However, as we all know the same has not happened yet and Harper has continued to stay off TV.

WWE has earlier used this way of story-telling in the past, where a monster develops a love interest for a female wrestler, and they could use the same formula once again to spice things up on Tuesday nights. In my opinion, it would be better if Harper is left off TV, rather than being introduced in this feud.

WWE should allow Luke Harper's character to stay as dangerous as it was, and should wait for his partner, Rowan, to recover so they can dominate the blue brand once again.

#2 Should be - Goldust

Remember the first season of the Mixed Match Challenge? Well, if you don't, let me remind you of the popularity team Rose Gold (Mandy and Goldust) had gained during that season. Unfortunately, the team was eliminated from the tournament after just 1 match, which led to the fans demanding a future storyline involving Mandy Rose and Goldust.

This feud gives the WWE Creative a perfect opportunity to bring Goldust back on TV, and aligning him with Mandy Rose would enthuse the fans as well. The WWE even has a valid reason to pair Mandy with Goldust against Naomi and Uso, and that is they had been eliminated by the same team a year ago, and so this had forced the Bizarre One to return so he avenges the defeat at MMC season 1.

Goldust is one of the key reasons behind the Golden Goddess character of Mandy Rose, and it would be great to see the two together in the ring once again.

#3 Should not - Aiden English

Aiden English's character in the Rusev Day feud was just like Mandy Rose's role in this feud

Aiden English, the former member of Rusev Day has also been absent from Tuesday nights ever since he was squashed by 'the Bulgarian Brute' Rusev on an episode of SD Live. The logic here says that Aiden should return to feud with his former friend, with the United States Championship on the line.

Now that the Bulgarian Brute is the US Champion, he should be inserted in a WrestleMania feud with English, given the past both men have shared. This would not only give English his first ever WM singles match, but also would give the US title a credible storyline heading into WM 35.

But we all know WWE always does the unexpected, and the writers would be looking to pair 2 similar on screen characters in Aiden English (the Aiden nights storyline) and Mandy Rose together in order to attract nuclear heat towards them, but in my opinion, the same is not going to work .
