#1 The Naomi-Sonya Deville feud on SmackDown intensifies with Shayna Baszler's involvement

It seems as though Shayna Baszler has become Sonya Deville's muscle following her move to SmackDown. This week, Naomi took on Shayna Baszler. Things went wrong when Naomi was scheduled for her match against Deville, as it turned out to be a handicap match.

Sonya Deville doesn't like the former Women's Champion and she has made no secret about it whatsoever. The bias against her has continued to play out on SmackDown, and it got worse this week.

Naomi was scheduled for a match against Baszler, but the referee, according to Sonya Deville, was injured from Brock Lesnar's assault last week.

The only person available to referee the match was Deville herself. She asked at ringside if they had a t-shirt, and they conveniently did. While we thought that Michael Cole mocking her was a joke in the storyline, that was the actual way it played out.

Sonya Deville seemingly planned it all, and the conspiracy against Naomi on SmackDown continues. Deville made sure Baszler won via a fast count before distracting Naomi and allowing the Queen Of Spades to lock her in the Kirafuda clutch.
