WWE SmackDown: 2 Superstars who flopped and 3 who impressed – Roman Reigns embarrassed in his own game, new Royal Rumble challenger confirmed (Jan 15th, 2021)

#1 Flopped on WWE SmackDown: Liv Morgan

This week’s WWE SmackDown featured a singles match between Liv Morgan and Natalya. It would be safe to say that it was the most boring encounter of the night, barring Billie Kay’s presence who wasn’t involved in the match. The latter assumed her friendship with The Riott Squad and accompanied them to the ring.

Her humorous antics on the ringside were the only saving grace of this match on WWE SmackDown. Eventually, Kay found herself standing in front of Tamina and was not confident about saving herself. Their little exchange ended up distracting Liv Morgan, and Natalya made the full use of this opportunity.

She rolled up Morgan from behind and end up pinning her to win her match on WWE SmackDown. The only reason why Morgan is here and Natalya isn’t is because the latter has a victory to her name. This was an extremely underwhelming encounter that did little to nothing to push either of the Superstars involved as strong contenders.
