#4: Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville's heated match struck a chord with fans

Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville's onscreen chemistry in WWE is at its best right now.

Both former best friends collided in a singles match since their relationship turned sour on SmackDown. WWE made a good decision by letting Sonya Deville shine since they broke up Fire & Desire.

WWE aired a few pre-match moments for both sides, and you could make out that this confrontation was going to be different when the bout began with complete chaos.

Although the fight was rushed, the psychology of their highly personal feud and Sonya's trash-talking made it stand out from the rest of the pack. From the beginning itself, Sonya battered her former best friend to a point where it looked like Mandy was outmatched inside a WWE ring.

But The Golden Goddess gained some momentum before the match came to an abrupt halt when Sonya squeaked past her opponent with a quick pinfall victory.

Sonya winning here was the right decision made by WWE. It leaves some room for future matches between the two competitors, and it gave Sonya Deville an in-ring edge over her current rival as well.
