Angry Andy’s Payback Recap

Bella Twins vs. Naomi & Tamina

I’m expecting: The outcome of the match doesn’t really matter, since the belt isn’t on the line. I say Naomi takes the win over Nikki. Crowd warms up slowly, but they get there.

Spot on. Decent match, with a somewhat dead crowd, who eventually kinda sorta warmed up. I get why they put divas matches in this spot on the card, but I really wish they’d stop. Somewhat surprising that we didn’t see Paige return, but considering how much the commentary team talked about her, I’d expect her back sooner than later.

What made me happy:  Don’t look now, but these four women have pretty good chemistry together. The four of them working together…makes sense. Don’t tell WWE, or we’ll get a “we don’t really care about the divas” RKO turn out of nowhere.

What made me angry: This could, and should, have felt like a bigger deal.

If I booked it…: It probably would have been a singles match for the title. Naomi and Tamina would destroy both Bellas, who would then take a 2-3 month break. When they celebrate their dominance on Raw, we see the return of Paige.
