Page 4 - WWE SmackDown: 2 Superstars who flopped and 3 who impressed – Roman Reigns horribly insults Jey Uso, controversial finish to title match (Nov 27th, 2020)

#1 Flopped on WWE SmackDown: Natalya

Natalya deserves to be involved in better storylines before she loses all her credibility

On this week's episode of WWE SmackDown, Natalya locked horns with Bianca Belair in a Single's Match. The viewers had huge expectations from this match, but it ended up being quite an underwhelming encounter. After putting up a fairly good performance at Survivor Series, Natalya seemed to have started getting back her momentum, but that wasn't the case.

Her match against Belair on WWE SmackDown last night was -- for the lack of a better word -- boring. She was tricked into a quick roll-up that led to her getting pinned with a few minutes of the first bell. This match also saw Bayley at the announce desk, and the latter was involved in brief segments during the match. Ultimately, Natalya accidentally ended up hitting Bayley, and while she was distracted, Belair made the most of the opportunity.

The only good that came from this match on WWE SmackDown was the creative teasing a plausible alliance between Bayley and Natalya. Bayley was very happy when Natalya qualified for the Survivor Series team, and it appears that regardless of last night's incidents, both these heels could soon find themselves on the same page. Moreover, WWE also teased a possible feud between Bayley and Belair, which would be great for both the Superstars.
