Nia Jax has had a dominant reign as the WWE Women's Champion, but recent weeks haven't been kind to her. A string of losses has halted The Annihilator's momentum.
While she also lost the WWE Crown Jewel Championship match to Liv Morgan, Jax was also pinned by Naomi a few weeks ago. This has led to a title match between the two of them being made official for next week's episode of SmackDown.
The two real-life Bloodline members are seemingly close away from the ring while engaging in online banter as on-screen rivals. This was evident when Naomi tweeted, "Nia sucks" before SmackDown. Jax responded after the show, claiming that the former SmackDown Women's Champion is "obsessed" with her:
"You’re obsessed with me!" Nia Jax's tweet to Naomi.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
It remains to be seen if Naomi can win her third Women's Title next Friday on SmackDown. It won't be easy, with Tiffany Stratton around to protect Nia Jax and potentially cash in her Money in the Bank contract. Candice LeRae has also teased an alliance with The Irresistible Force.
While the female main event scene is heating up on SmackDown, the midcard division has been given a huge shot in the arm. Nick Aldis introduced the Women's United States Championship on SmackDown, which will lead to some intense competition across the main roster.
