WWE SmackDown Live Results: Highlights, Analysis, and Grades for February 7
By Grant Mannis
Dual Contract Signing
Present inside the ring for the contract signings, Renee Young started off the segment by bringing out all four women that will be competing in the two matches this Sunday. Once all the women were inside the ring, Mickie James was the first to being the interaction between them. Insulting the women inside of the squared circle, she went on to make Young leave the ring, leaving her to handle the proceedings. Claiming that she’s back to get the credit she deserves (rightfully so), James went ahead and signed her contract.
Becky Lynch was the next woman to talk, and she responded to James’ statement with some words of her own. Then she went and signed the contract as well, making the match between the two official. Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss and Naomi would exchange heated words as well, and after a few moments, they completed their contract. With the contracts out of the way things quickly got out of and, with all four women getting involved in a physical altercation. Bliss and James would end up retreating from the ring, but not before suffering an outside dive courtesy of Naomi.
As per usual, the SmackDown Live Women’s Division excelled here. These women have the potential to produce some quality matches this Sunday, and I for one am hoping they do so. Their competition on Monday Nights has often been heralded as having the superior women’s division. At Elimination Chamber, SmackDown Live could finally make a strong claim that the higher quality of female wrestling has switched over to the Blue Brand.
