Lost momentum: the entire SmackDown women's division

A boring 50/50 match that established no stand-outs. With the women's Royal Rumble less than two weeks away, none of the blue brand's competitors appear as anything more than extras for the match. This is in stark contrast to RAW, where a burgeoning rivalry between Asuka and Nia Jax might be the main focus within the match itself.

The blue brand could have focused on Becky's comeback or on the Riott Squad's cohesiveness as a unit heading into the match for some angles of its own, but that's apparently too much work.

Another lazy, uninspiring segment, you'd be forgiven for changing the channel for much of it. I did. I decided that watching Shark Tank reruns on CNBC was more interesting.
