WWE Smackdown Live: Analysing and Grading each segment (January 17th 2017)

Alexa Bliss retained against Becky Lynch with the help of Mickie James, who was disguised as La Luchadora

#3 Nikki Bella calls out Natalya:

Nikki Bella and Natalya engaged in another chaotic brawl

Grade: 7.5/10

This was a good follow-up from last week’s segment, with another chaotic brawl between the two women continuing to make their rivalry more personal.

However, both women are incredibly bland on the mic. Neither shows any emotion, and this leads to a lack of options for the rivalry moving forward.

While the brawl had the crowd hot and was a hard hitting, chaotic scuffle, it did little to enhance this feud, with the whole rivalry feeling like a temporary one until Wrestlemania season comes around.

A different twist to this angle would be great to spice things up, with a clash at the Rumble PPV between these two now feeling certain.

Overall, a solid segment that saw the Bella/Natalya feud intensify a bit more, however, the rivalry needs a new aspect to become more interesting.
