#2 Worst: Two shows, one story?

In our 'Best and Worst' of RAW feature, we mentioned how we liked the fact that Paige had allied herself with Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville, as unusual as the trio was, when they took out the RAW women's division and the champion, Alexa Bliss.

We are not fond of the fact that WWE is doing the very same angle on SmackDown Live. With Ruby Riot, Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan coming together to take out the SmackDown Live women's division, it felt like a repeat of the night before.

Ruby Riot is a great wrestler, but she is not a household name like Paige is. Some character development before introducing her as the faction leader could have done everyone a world of good.
