SmackDown Women’s Champion Naomi vs. Lana
SmackDown Women’s Champion Naomi vs. Lana
Okay, so the question here was: Would Lana be so secretly amazing in the ring that she'd wow us all and win the title on her first go? Making Naomi look like a fool in the process? Or would she be, you know, adequate, and act as a modest challenge for Naomi before a cash in attempt by Carmella? The answer was somewhere in between. Lana was fine. Nothing that could ever match our anticipation, having waited for her to train and get in the damn ring for years now, of course. And Carmella came down with her case and - didn't cash in.
It was just a tease. And I'm glad too because the crowd was pretty dead quiet for all of it. Imagine if they'd tried for something big here. It would have landed with a thud. Plus, it would seem odd for anything to go down right now after Daniel Bryan said he'd have something to say about the ladder match finish a few days from now. Naomi won by making Lana tap.
In bigger news, we got the official debut of Mike Bennett and Maria Kanellis - aka "Mike and Maria Kanellis!" Yes, JBL simply could not process that Mike took her last name. This will perpetually haunt him, I'm sure. They've got a motivational speaker "power of love" gimmick going. Time to get ooey gooey, people.
Winner, and still SmackDown Women's Champion: Naomi
