In the post-Bad Blood episode of WWE SmackDown, Naomi locked horns with Nia Jax in a singles match. The match ended surprisingly when the Glow secured a victory over the Irresistible Force, but it was not for the WWE Women's Title.
Pinning a champion is unusual, especially if someone dominant like Jax holds the title. In this article, we will explore three reasons why Naomi pinned Nia Jax on the blue brand.
#3. WWE might be lining up Naomi for a Women's title match

One potential reason why Naomi pinned Nia Jax on the recent episode of SmackDown could be that the Stamford-based promotion is positioning her for a Women's title match. Naomi has always been a fan favorite among the WWE Universe.
She was even considered a favorite to win this year's Women's Money in the Bank ladder match, though that didn't come to fruition. By giving her a potential Women's title match against Jax, it seems WWE is working to rebuild momentum for the 36-year-old star.
#2. To potentially add a new twist to the SmackDown Women's Division
Naomi pinning Nia Jax on the recent SmackDown has brought a drastic shift to the SmackDown Women's Division, which could explain why the Glow pinned the champion. Previously, the focus was primarily on Tiffany Stratton’s Money in the Bank cash-in angle with Jax.
But now, Naomi’s win has also become a major talking point among fans. Naomi’s victory over Jax has shaken up the landscape, sparking renewed fan interest in the Women's Division on the blue brand.
#1. WWE could be planning for Tiffany Stratton to cash in before Crown Jewel 2024
Naomi pinning Nia Jax on the recent show suggests that a title match between the two might happen soon. However, this angle could lead to Tiffany Stratton cashing in her Money in the Bank briefcase before Crown Jewel 2024.
The reasoning behind this is that Jax is already scheduled for a match against Liv Morgan at the Saudi Arabia event. The two world champions are set to battle for the inaugural Women's Crown Jewel Championship. This means that if Naomi vs. Jax happens, it will likely occur before the upcoming premium live event.
A title defense would provide the perfect opportunity for Tiffany to cash in her contract and capture the WWE Women's Title. A title change before Crown Jewel would certainly make things interesting as we head toward the Saudi Arabia show.
