#1. Best: The surprisingly entertaining Naomi story on SmackDown

We'll cover the two major women's segments on SmackDown under one point here. The first is Naomi's story with Sonya Deville. She confronted her rival backstage, being wise enough to not touch her as she was wearing a suit, meaning that she was on official duty.

Deville fumbled in nervousness and handed Naomi a SmackDown Women's title shot against Charlotte Flair. While the Naomi-Sonya Deville storyline had gotten tiring at one point due to its repetitive nature, we must give WWE credit for keeping the storyline alive.

We can only hope that they commit to it until WrestleMania, with Naomi getting the ultimate payoff victory.

Unfortunately for her, she won't be dethroning Flair next week on SmackDown. Ronda Rousey declared that she will face The Queen at WrestleMania 38 in a segment that can only be labeled as average.

However, the Naomi story has been interesting and given how often she is featured on TV, she can no longer be classified in the "underutilized" category.

How will Sonya Deville cheat her in her title shot next week? We will find out.
