The latest episode of WWE SmackDown left a lot to talk about after the failures in its main event. Tiffany Stratton defended her championship against Nia Jax and Jade Cargill, but the match was marked by mistakes: Cargill ended up with a big cut on her eyebrow and the referee made a mistake in the final count.

In his podcast Hall of Fame, Booker T analyzed what happened and didn't hesitate to point out the lack of coordination among the three involved. For him, Stratton is still a rookie coming out of the NIL program, Cargill came in inexperienced from AEW, and Jax assumed the role of "field marshal" in the fight.

The lack of coordination was noticeable. Tiffany Stratton is a NIL talent, Jade Cargill comes from AEW and didn't learn much there because she never had the opportunity to face opponents who would help her grow. And Nia Jax felt like she had to lead the way. The problem is that the match was full of mistakes.

Booker emphasized that the end of a match is what the audience remembers the most, and in this case, everything failed: "If you go see Hamilton and the lead actor forgets the lines, you'd be upset. Well, the same thing happened here: it wasn't a good night."

Booker T, a two-time WWE Hall of Famer, has established himself as one of the most influential voices when it comes to analyzing the company's current affairs. His opinions, often strong and sometimes controversial, reflect both his experience in the ring and his view of the industry from within and from the microphones.
