WWE SmackDown: April 14, 2016 - 5 things to note
After one of the best Raw’s of 2016, WWE once again delivered with a very good episode of SmackDown. WWE have been putting a lot more emphasis on SmackDown since the show’s move back to the USA Network.
This week’s SmackDown produced some great wrestling and quite a bit of story progression. Baron Corbin continued his journey on the main roster while Enzo & Cass made their main roster in-ring debut. The show also included a great main-event between Sami Zayn and Chris Jericho amongst other things. Here are 5 things to take away from this week’s SmackDown:
5: Paige is a jobber now?
Something’s been off with Paige in recently. From her appearance on the WrestleMania pre-show divas match as part of team Total Divas, to her recent demeanor to the way Emma dominated her before beating her easily, it all screams jobber. Paige is in a position that someone as talented as her shouldn’t be. She belongs with Charlotte, Sasha and Becky at the forefront of the Women’s Wrestling revolution.
At 23 years of age, she’s already accomplished more than many wrestlers do in their entire career. She was the inaugural NXT Women’s Champion and holds the record for longest NXT Women’s Championship title reign at 308 days. She’s also a former 2 time Divas champion and at one time held both the NXT Women’s Championship and the Divas Championship at the same time.
Hopefully, Paige will overcome her recent woes and get pushed back into the title picture soon. She’s too talented to be wasted.
