5 Storylines for an all-women UFC invasion angle

#2 Miesha ‘Cupcake’ Tate challenges Naomi for the SmackDown Women’s title

Could Tate be the blue brand’s next Champ? (Credits: Zuffa)

Miesha ‘Cupcake’ Tate (19-7) is a former UFC and Strikeforce Women’s 135-pound champion, with an MMA base of submission wrestling, who recently retired in November of last year. Naomi is the current SmackDown Women’s Champion with an athletic background of cheerleading and dancing.

Now, recent MMA-retiree Tate is free of her Octagon obligations and works a desk job as an analyst on FOXSports for the UFC. Tate has the looks and the mic-skills (as evidenced by the press conferences and interviews in the UFC and Strikeforce) to give a career in pro-wrestling a try.

This isn’t merely a fantasy my friends, with her recent retirement, a ‘Cupcake’ appearance in the WWE is a legitimate possibility. Add to that the fact that Tate is well-known owing to her two-fight series of armbar losses to arch-rival Ronda Rousey, and you have the perfect UFC/WWE crossover star to promote in a feud against SmackDown’s reigning queen.

Naomi’s athleticism combined with Tate’s excellent mic-skills and submission wrestling knowledge would be an amazing way for the WWE to lend some much-needed zing to its women’s division. Now although Naomi is a champion on the SmackDown roster, I’d say that a feud involving ‘Cupcake’ shouldn’t necessarily be limited to one brand.

Miesha Tate vs Naomi regardless of it taking place on RAW or SmackDown!
