Could have at least finished the angle with Dana Brooke against Nattie and Tamina 🤷♂️

Wrestling insider Twitter account WrestleVotes went on to add that the move was actually an exchange involving RAW and NXT. Mandy went to NXT and in return, Aliyah moves up to RAW.

This is a bizarre move for quite a few reasons. Just as the NXT stars who have or will debut on SmackDown, Rose’s move has been done so despite her already being involved in a storyline with the Women’s Tag Team Champions. It is more than likely that the WWE will simply discard it and move on to newer stories.
Also, with Rose down at NXT, the main roster now only has three tag teams in the women’s division and one of them just recently arrived on the SmackDown this week.
