Liv Morgan added to MITB; Carmella now facing Belair for the SmackDown Women’s Title on July 16

Bayley’s injury that was reported earlier on Friday shook the SmackDown women’s division and put a wrench into the Money in the Bank plans. Bayley was set to face Bianca Belair for the SmackDown Women’s Champion at the July 18 event but due to an ACL injury during training, she is now out of action for at least nine months.

WWE Authority Sonya Deville had to find a suitable replacement for Bayley now that she is unable to compete. Prior to Deville making her announcement, Bayley had some words to give to the WWE audience.

Now, what happens with the SmackDown Women’s Title match? It is no longer on the Money in the Bank card but will be on the July 16 episode of SmackDown, the first show back with a live crowd. Belair will be facing and defending her title against a former SmackDown Women’s Champion and two-time Money in the Bank winner – Carmella.

The most beautiful woman in all of WWE will have the chance to become a two-time SmackDown Women’s Champion which means she will no longer be in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Before Deville could announce that last part, an irate Liv Morgan made her way to the ring. She was tired of seeing Carmella getting handing opportunities while she herself has earned them.

Deville then snapped back at her letting her know she should have let her finish. Because Carmella has been pulled from the MITB match, Morgan is now in. As Morgan leaves with a smile on her face, she says she hopes Carmella defeats Belair so that she can win the briefcase and cash in on her.

This of course caught the eye of Bianca Belair. She says that she will gladly take Carmella as her challenger. She sends a message to Bayley saying she looks forward to finishing their feud when she comes back.

The Money in the Bank Ladder Match participants is now: Alexa Bliss, Asuka, Naomi, Nikki Cross, Zelina Vega, Liv Morgan, and two more women to be announced.

Bianca Belair vs. Bayley in an “I Quit” match set at Money in the Bank for the SmackDown Women’s Title

The stakes continue to pile high surrounding the SmackDown Women’s Championship!

On this week’s SmackDown, Bianca Belair has challenged Bayley with her SmackDown Women’s Title on the line once again to a match at the upcoming Money in the Bank event. However, since Belair defeated Bayley inside Hell in a Cell it can’t be just any ordinary match. The two will battle in an “I Quit” match.

Nick | Diva Dirt

Bayley was able to pin Belair in a Mixed Tag Team Match last week which has placed that chip firmly right back on her shoulder. The Role Model feels that the EST is not living up to the expectations of the WWE Universe and her prior win was just a fluke. Belair feels that Bayley just won’t leave her alone and move on after defeating her over and over again.

After Belair said she wanted this type of match, Bayley started laughing. Once she realized she was serious she was all for it. Bayley says she has never quit anything in her whole life. Adding to the conversation she says that if she utters “I Quit” then she might as well not only quit SmackDown, she should quit the WWE and while she’s at it, wrestling altogether. She says that if Belair says she quits though, Bayley would not be surprised in the least.

What do you think of this stipulation? Will these be the nice cherry on top of this rivalry to end it? Leave your thoughts below.

Carmella clutches the last spot in the MITB Ladder Match

The field is finally set as we have our sixth and final participant in this year’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Carmella defeats Mandy Rose with a lot of help from Sonya Deville. This means that the first Ms. Money in the Bank has a chance to become the first two-time (or three-time according to Mella) briefcase winner.

After a kick to the face to Rose from Carmella, she was able to pick up the pin. Midway through the match, Deville’s music hits and she takes to the mic for the remainder of the match taunting her former Fire & Desire teammate.

Deville takes a trip down memory lane as she recalls last year’s MITB event where she gave up her spot in the ladder match so that Rose could participate. She then helped her during the match by hoisting her up the ladder to grab the title shot and Rose still ended up losing.

Rose does what she can in order to concentrate on the task at hand and not let Deville in her head. She even is able to get a near fall and hits a massive right to Carmella. Instead of covering Carmella, Rose is completely distracted at this point by Deville who tells her to “karma is a bitch, bitch…bring it on.” Mella is then able to hit that kick and pick up the win.

After the match, Deville becomes unhinged and attacks Rose. She starts with several forearms and then follows it up outside of the ring. She runs Rose into the ring post and then into the steel steps. She follows it up with a knee to Rose that drives her back into the steps. The officials come out to separate her from Rose as they ask for medical. Deville is held back by the referee as she screams that she will end Rose.

Backstage after the loss and the attack, Rose is seen with medical. Otis shows up and is rightfully concerned for her well being. She lets him know that she will be fine. He leaves and is approached by Dolph Ziggler who asks him if Mandy is okay. Otis doesn’t reply as he is seething with anger.

Carmella joins Lacey Evans, Dana Brooke, Shayna Baszler, Nia Jax, and Asuka for the MITB opportunity coming up one week from Sunday.

What did you think of what transpired? Now that all six women are announced, who do you think will take the briefcase on May 10? Leave your thoughts in the comment section below.
