Becky Lynch is bringing straight fire to her feud with Carmella, which is online exclusive

SmackDown creative’s woes are well documented - maybe even enough so that the folks making the show are aware of them.

One, but far from the only, issue is how they utilize the women’s roster. And the blue brand doesn’t even have the excuse that they’d planned on having Paige as a major part of the scene, although it’s possible problems caused by her injury trickled down from Raw.

‘Mella then spends a bunch of time retweeting people who send her compliments to refute Lynch’s “nobody likes you” claim. Finally, Becky Balboa lands a clean shot with this:

Carmella has tweeted since that early morning dagger, so she’s not DED. But she has wisely decided to leave this Twitter feud alone for now.

Good thing none of this happened on television instead of cutting a few minutes out of Shane McMahon/Daniel Bryan drama that probably isn’t leading anywhere...
