#4 The SmackDown Women's title feud underlines WWE's babyface troubles
SmackDown was another example of how WWE has lost the plot when it comes to building babyface superstars. We're not sure why, but they simply seem unable to present heroes as legitimate.
We will give you two current examples, one from RAW and one from SmackDown. Both involve the Women's Championships of the respective brands. On RAW, there's Becky Lynch as the champion, and on SmackDown, Charlotte Flair.
It goes without saying that both women are on a far higher level than most of the women's roster, but the difference between them and their upcoming challengers is staggering.
It's perhaps a little worse for Liv Morgan, who has been humiliated consecutively on the mic. Toni Storm, unfortunately, suffered a somewhat similar fate on SmackDown this week.
Instead of getting verbally humiliated, she had not one, but two pies smashed into her face before Charlotte Flair walked away standing tall. Admittedly, it wasn't as bad as the humiliation that Liv Morgan faced on RAW, but it's another subtle example of how WWE doesn't know how to build babyface stars as well as they did in the bygone eras.
With that said, the segment on SmackDown was all about one thing - heat. That's what WWE loves to have in abundance, for some reason.
