SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley came out to gloat over her victory against Lacey Evans. The two women met at Royal Rumble where fans expected Bayley to lose her title, but she outsmarted Evans in the battle to retain her Championship.

Bayley wanted the 2020 Royal Rumble winner Charlotte Flair to come out and challenge her for the title, but the returning Naomi made her way out to the middle.

Naomi received a massive pop when she returned to competition at the Royal Rumble, and she made it clear this week that Bayley had never beaten her.

This led to Bayley attacking her, but Naomi fought back and sent her running. This seems to have set up Bayley’s next challenge immediately while taking Flair out of the picture.

Not only will this be a huge opportunity for Naomi who has the WWE Universe behind her at the moment, but this could result in the first one-on-one match between the two women. It’ll be interesting to see where Evans and Flair head after this segment.
