SmackDown Review: Batista vs. Sheamus

Tamina Snuka pre-taped promo/Aksana promo/Paige vs. Aksana

Tamina says that she spent so much of her time trying to keep the Divas Championship around somebody else’s waist, referring to AJ Lee. She says her new focus is on making sure it goes to somebody who deserves it, referring to herself, as she takes on Paige for the title at Extreme Rules. I think it’s safe to say that her and AJ are no longer friends.

Aksana says all the Divas are jealous of Paige because they’re insecure. Aksana calls Paige out for being lucky, but says her luck is about to run out. I was pleasantly surprised with this promo from Aksana, it was short but she did a good job.

Paige makes Aksana tap out to the Scorpion Cross Lock. Decent match. All three matches Paige has been in have been the same, she gets beaten down, until she hits a quick comeback and gets to the finish. She’s very talented, but I think they’re trying to work her in slowly. I like the approach they’re taking with her.
