WWE SmackDown Results, Highlights, And Grades For August 14, 2018
Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch vs. Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose
On commentary, Carmella blatantly ignored Byron Saxton again, once again showing that she has endless entertainment value on commentary as a heel.
Charlotte and Becky were putting on another show in the ring, and it’s amazing how well they work together (not surprising, of course). They went to work on Deville, as Becky sent her sprawling on the outside after Charlotte hit her with a big exploder suplex.
Mandy Rose turned the tide of the match in Absolution’s favor, and Sonya came back in to lay some more punishment on Becky. Deville and Rose continued to work together in grounding Becky, but she finally sent Rose packing with some clotheslines on her comeback. A big Bexploder later, and Becky was able to both fend off Sonya and tap out Mandy with a Dis-Arm-Her.
That was another great performance from Becky, who fought from behind to defeat Sonya and Mandy essentially on her own at the end. Charlotte stayed back and allowed Becky to showcase her talents, and Becky has the momentum heading into the title match at SummerSlam.
Grade: B, This was another good match, and I continue to enjoy what Becky and Charlotte are doing together in the ring. I am excited to watch them on Sunday. But Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose were arguably more impressive. Every week, it seems like they are getting better, and Deville is a huge success on SmackDown.
