Here's the thing: I don't mind Blair Davenport seemingly being the newest member of The Unholy Union or WWE pairing her with Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn. Davenport hasn't done a ton since arriving on "SmackDown" during the WWE Draft back in April, so this gives her something to do and provides her with the opportunity to provide her with more television time. However, SummerSlam is the day after this edition of "SmackDown", and the timing of the Davenport turn seems misguided.
AdvertisementThe WWE Women's Tag Team Championship match between The Unholy Union and Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair should've been part of the SummerSlam card to begin with, whether that be on the three-hour pre-show (which may I add has no matches announced for it) or the main show. It feels underwhelming to have it instead be on "SmackDown", let alone end in a disqualification that allows for Dawn and Fyre to retain their title. Nobody truly benefited from this ending, as it made Dawn and Fyre look like they couldn't retain their title without any help and made Cargill and Belair look unnecessarily weaker than they needed to. Beyond that, if WWE insisted on doing this finish, then having Davenport do it on the bigger stage of SummerSlam would've made it feel like it was a bigger ordeal. It was a disappointing end to an otherwise fine match and was extremely disappointing to watch play out.
