• I can really see Alexa winning at TLC. The opening segment was good but I still believe that Lynch shouldn't be allowed near a mic, some of the stuff she was saying was just random and plain confusing/stupid.
Calling herself a honey badger was probably the worse one. What was that all about? But most of all, why? If she wanted to reference a strong and ruthless animal, she could have went with a lioness or a shark, but no, she went with a honey badger for whatever reason. Also, I really hope she doesn't make a habit of "pulling a Sheamus" and telling stories of her family. Instead of that, she could brush up on her insults. Calling Alexa "Puss in Boots" was just slightly cringe-worthy. How that's an insult, I'll never know.
Alexa on the other hand, was great.
Some of the insults she was coming away with were pretty ruthless and fantastically "heelish", especially the potato farm one. I actually pulled that "oooh" face and had a wee chuckle when she said it. What made it worse was that she also threw in a shot at her voice/accent too.
Also, Alexa is ambidextrous. I didn't know that. That makes both of us.
• I see that Otunga discovered tattoo parlors. That probably explains why he's been wearing a jacket at the table for a couple of weeks now. His tattoos probably weren't "ready" to be shown off yet.
• I think this is the first or second time I've heard American Alpha talk. Gable came across slightly heelish with the way he spoke to Dasha.
• Carmella seems more obsessed with Cena than Nikki. The promo was pretty bad but thankfully this will all end on Sunday.
• Ellsworth got his ass handed to him and I expect he'll be out for a good while and will probably return during the Royal Rumble match.
• American Alpha wearing better attire this week. They should just stick to solid colour designs. The match was good though but at this point, I feel like American Alpha will never be champions and that their soul purpose is to forever be that team that just loses out on a shot at the titles due to shenanigans from a heel tag team.
• Overall, SmackDown was good even though it felt slightly subdued/quieter than usual. Still, it's actually made me look forward to Sunday. It should be good.
