#2: Naomi defeated Carmella to face Bayley for the SmackDown Women's Title in Saudi Arabia
Trending
Carmella vs. Naomi was the best match from last night's episode.
Although it may have been a little clunky during various instances, both women put on an entertaining match that felt as if Naomi and Carmella were battling for a big opportunity.
The opportunity is big indeed.
Naomi defeated Carmella to become the new #1 contender for Bayley's SmackDown Women's Championship. But the stakes are higher since, for the first time in the history of Saudi Arabia, a female wrestler will defend her title, and in this case, Bayley gets to be the one to make history in Riyadh.
Naomi is clearly the fan-favorite on SmackDown since her return, so it was the right decision to elevate her to the #1 contender position.
Whether or not the historic battle results in Naomi becoming the new SmackDown Women's Champion remains to be seen, but it would certainly be a nice surprise if WWE decides to move forward with Naomi as champion.
Bayley's title run hasn't been the most newsworthy part of SmackDown, and someone like Sasha Banks could be a great match for a babyface like Naomi on the Road to WrestleMania 36.
