#3 Naomi vs Carmella for a shot at SmackDown Women’s Championship

Who will challenge Bayley at WWE Super ShowDown?

After a long hiatus from WWE TV, Naomi finally returned to the show at last months Royal Rumble. She was an instant favorite to get a shot at the SmackDown Women’s Championship. She also participated in a fatal four-way match that featured Carmella, Alexa Bliss, and Dana Brooke to determine the next challenger for Bayley.

Unfortunately for Naomi, Carmella won that match and went on to challenge Bayley for the Championship last week. However, she fell prey to the Champion’s tricks as the latter used the ropes to help her pin the Queen of Staten Island.

Tonight, Carmella will once again fight for an opportunity to challenge Bayley as she is set to lock horns with Naomi in a Singles match. The winner of this match will go on to face Bayley for the SmackDown Women’s Championship at Super ShowDown, which will see women competing in the match once again at the PPV after Natalya and Lacey Evans did the same and scripted history last year.
