Naomi vs Carmella
Naomi was in complete control in the opening stages of the match. The SmackDown Women’s Champion seemed to be in the mood to teach Carmella a lesson as she set the pace of the match in the opening stages and driving Carmella out of the ring.
We came back from commercial to see the two women going at it. With Naomi perched on the top rope, we saw a familiar figure return to SmackDown Live. It was James Ellsworth – back from his 30-day suspension.
Ellsworth pushed Naomi off the top rope, helping Carmella to pin Naomi after she hit the champion with a Superkick.
