2. Mandy Rose will replace Sonya Deville on Team SmackDown.

If there’s one thing that really grinds my gears, it’s when WWE breaks up a tag team/pair of friends for a feud. That seems to be exactly what’s in store for my favorite donut connoisseurs Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville.

Last week, Mandy came out in the place of Charlotte to tell GM Paige exactly what she thought of the women on Team SmackDown, and that didn’t exclude her (maybe former) best friend Sonya.

Let’s not forget also that it was Mandy who eliminated Sonya from the Battle Royale at Evolution last month. The seeds of discord have already been planted, and Survivor Series may just be the thing to break them up for good.

It also looks like given the time Mandy was given for her promo, the heat she got for it from the other women, and (most impressively) the quality all make it look like we’re due for a big Mandy Rose push soon.

Given all that, I’d expect for Sonya to be the one to confront Mandy backstage about all the trash she’s been talking. Mandy of course will assert that even though she loves Sonya, she’s definitely more worthy of the Team SmackDown spot.

The two get into a little scuffle backstage, which is broken up by Paige. Paige says if the two want to fight it out somewhere, they can fight it out in the ring, and the winner will have the spot on Team SmackDown.

Given the effort it looks like WWE’s putting into making Mandy stand alone as a heel, I think she goes over.
