#2 Boring, long, and dragged out promos

The combination of Nia Jax and Tamina looks slow and lazy at best, and are really lacking the charisma

Nia Jax had built up a lot of heat in the last few weeks with her actions in the ring. She'd put Becky Lynch out of action with an errant punch, and then went on to boast about it on social media. She'd won the Battle Royal as well as the women's Survivor Series match.

Everything seemed to be shaping up perfectly, but then WWE did something it shouldn't have. Nia Jax was given the mic and a chance to speak for what seemed like a very very long time (such was the monotony and banality of her promo).

Nia Jax is no Stone Cold or a Rock, but WWE should have known that she's horrible at cutting promos. The promo was long and downright boring, but it didn't get better when Ronda Rousey stepped into the ring, and was herself fumbling with words. The segment pretty much killed whatever build-up there was for their match.
