SmackDown Redux (February 26th, 2015): Naomi and Natalya Throw Diva Fans a Bone

Welcome to the first SmackDown Redux of the #GiveDivasAChance era! With Diva fans on high alert for bullshit, Naomi and Natalya are facing off one-on-one. Will a match between the newly heel-adjacent Natalya and ever-exciting Naomi help soothe Diva fans’ souls? Let’s see: We join Naomi, Jimmy and Jey Uso already in the ring. Natalya … Read more

SmackDown Redux (February 19th, 2015): Groundhog Day, Divas Style

Welcome to another SmackDown Redux! On the last stop before Fastlane, we’re (hopefully) finishing up our Groundhog Day-esque loop of Paige wrestling singles matches while Nikki and/or Brie Bella observes. SERIOUSLY. WE. HAVE. BEEN. DOING. THIS. FOREVER. At this point, the repetition has got to be intentional, right? Maybe it’s the creative team’s way of … Read more

SmackDown Redux (February 12th, 2015): A Divas Feud on Cruise Control

Welcome to another SmackDown Redux! We’re almost a week away from Fastlane, and the WWE has taken a “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” approach to this Paige/Nikki Bella feud, as they’re again putting Paige in a singles match as Brie and Nikki sit in on commentary. I’d argue that this feud is far … Read more

SmackDown Redux (February 5th, 2015): Restaurant Fights and Good Old Fashioned Revenge

Welcome to another SmackDown Redux! We’re back in action after last week’s abysmal, practically-Diva-free live edition of the show. Before we get to the night’s (criminally short) Divas match, let’s venture outside the arena for a double date orchestrated by Natalya and Naomi. This was apparently set up on the WWE App during Raw, but … Read more

Video: Brie and Nikki Bella Attack Paige on SmackDown

Last night’s SmackDown did not feature a Divas match, but it did follow up on the Divas Title match announcement for Fast Lane. In a segment directly following the announcement, Brie and Nikki Bella interrupted Paige‘s interview with Renee Young to insult the next challenger. The made fun of Paige’s pale skin, calling her a … Read more

SmackDown Redux (January 22nd, 2015): Brie Gives the Bellas Some Royal Rumble Momentum

Last night’s SmackDown was our last stop before the Royal Rumble (if you don’t count WWE Superstars.. *cough*). Unfortunately, the Divas title won’t be on the line this Sunday, but we’re still miles ahead of the no-match-at-all we got last year. Glass half full, people. The match we are getting pits Paige and Natalya against … Read more

SmackDown Redux (January 15th, 2015): Alicia and Natalya Get Some Help

Welcome, Friday night refugees, to the first edition of the Thursday Night SmackDown Redux! The last time SmackDown graced Thursday nights (2005), Diva Dirt was but an idea floating in the ether. We’ve known nothing else. For the debut show, the WWE has graced us with two Divas matches, a rarity on the blue brand. … Read more

SmackDown Redux (January 9th, 2015): Alicia and Naomi Perform Friday Night’s Swan Song

Welcome to this week’s SmackDown Redux! I’m filling in for Steven for the next few weeks, so I’ll be ushering us into the new Thursday night era of SmackDown… or would that be the return to the Thursday night era? Either way, this episode is the final Friday night edition of the show. On deck … Read more
