Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville have been competing as a tag team, and as individuals by each other's side for quite some time now. Originally two thirds of the trio Absolution, they found themselves without their leader Paige after she had to retire from active competition, due to a legitimate injury.

Since then, we’ve seen Paige in different roles, and now we see her as the onscreen General Manager of SmackDown, the brand Rose and Sonya compete on. However, being on a brand led by their former friend hasn’t really helped them progress much.

During Evolution’s Battle Royal, the two women worked together to attack and even eliminate a few superstars, before Rose turned on Sonya, and eliminated her too. The tension should have risen right there, and the next episode of SmackDown should have cashed in on the undercard superstars’ rift.

However, they waited until the November 6 episode of SmackDown to build on the tension as Rose immediately appeared once Sonya and four other women were announced as part of Team SmackDown for the upcoming Survivor Series.

As Rose took shots at the women around her, a brawl broke out which was soon broken up. She eventually came face-to-face with Deville, but both women did not get into an altercation even after attempts by the audience to goad them into fighting.
