When Billie Kay was sent to WWE SmackDown, away from Peyton Royce, many assumed that it would be the death knell for her. But thankfully, she has managed to reinvent herself and is one of the more entertaining comedy characters in the brand at this point in time.

Someone who hasn't reinvented herself over the years is Natalya, who is one of the all-time greats and a supremely sound worker, but has been in need of a reboot for years. When it was revealed that Billie Kay would be teaming with Natalya on WWE SmackDown this week, there was a collective groan in the SK Writer chat.

It was also weird to see The Riott Squad pick up the win if the idea and the intention are to highlight Billie Kay as a comedy character because they are an established act.

As good as the top of the card is in the WWE SmackDown women's division, the mid-card does seem a little directionless at this particular point.
