Best and worst of SmackDown Live: 29th August, 2017

#3 Worst: Tamina

As optimistic are we're trying to be, we cannot see this push working! — As optimistic as we're trying to be, we cannot see this push working!

WWE is trying to turn Tamina into SmackDown Live's version of Nia Jax, and we laud them for that.

However, there is something missing in Tamina, the X-Factor that allows a performer to emerge from the role of a sidekick to a legitimate, promising singles performer.

We understand what WWE is attempting, with Lana in a managerial role, but it'll take a lot of work to have Tamina go the distance. For the sake of everyone involved, we just hope that the experiment is positive.
