REWIND: Flair, Lynch, & Carmella Come Face to Face SmackDown Live 08.14.18

by

It has been over four years since Carmella has held singles gold in WWE. Since then she has gone on to become WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion along with Zelina Vega.

On the Aug. 14 episode of SmackDown Live in 2018, then-SmackDown Women’s Champion Carmella came face to face with her SummerSlam opponents Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch. After losing to both Lynch and Flair in non-title bouts, both women were set to face Carmella at the biggest event of the summer in a Triple Threat match. Lynch originally had thought that she was going to face Carmella one-on-one.

This segment between the three women led to Flair stating that the fans don’t like Carmella because she is a Diva living in a women’s era. To which Carmella responded – “I am a Diva and I am damn proud of it. I have something you two will never have. Compare my beauty to yours. Compare my body to yours. Compare my charisma to yours. Oh, I have one more comparison. I am the champ and you’re not.”

The three would go on to have their match at SummerSlam where Flair would become the new champion after pinning Lynch. Carmella’s reign lasted 131 days. Post-match, Lynch turned heel by attacking Flair.

You can watch the full match below which has 6.1 million views on YouTube. The segment from SmackDown Live has 1.2 million views.

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

by

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.

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.

Bayley to face Bianca Belair at WrestleMania Backlash for the SmackDown Women’s Title

by

In an advertisement for Friday Night SmackDown that was sent out to fans, it lists Bayley as Bianca Belair’s challenger for WrestleMania Backlash. This is shown to be a SmackDown Women’s Championship match.

Belair defeated Sasha Banks to win the SmackDown Women’s Title at WrestleMania two weeks ago in a historic main event. Bayley was left without a match for the event but stole the show as an extra host for both nights.

Last week Belair took the time to celebrate her momentous victory while providing a little jab to Banks. This enraged Banks to the point where she wasn’t able to get out any words to demand a rematch.

Bayley then stepped in and said that if Banks can’t ask for a rematch then she wants to bring prestige back to the SmackDown Women’s Title and wants a match against the new champion.

What do you think about Bayley taking on Bianca at WrestleMania Backlash?

Bianca Belair picks Sasha Banks to face at WrestleMania for the SmackDown Women’s Title

by

Bianca Belair has made it official that she has chosen to go against Sasha Banks for the SmackDown Women’s Title at WrestleMania. From winning the Royal Rumble match in January, Belair had an important decision to make. Which champion should she go after?

She stands front and center in the ring alongside authority figures Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville to give her answer. Belair starts by saying the choices that one makes defines who they are and her choice is clear. As she is about to make the announcement, Reginald interrupts her.

Reginald declares that Belair is special and says she is living her dreams. However, he stays strong in his stance that if she chooses to face Banks then her dreams will become a quick nightmare. Banks then enters the ring and pushes Reginald to the side after reminding him that he has been told to never speak for her.

Banks says that she isn’t just the champion but she is the standard. If Belair wants to make history and be the topic of conversation then she would choose her to face at WrestleMania. She continues saying that she doesn’t believe that Belair is the EST because she herself is the best. This would make her number one and would make Belair second best.

Belair said that she is going to make Banks eat her words on the grandest stage of them all. Confidently, she says she is going to take Banks’ title and will go on to prove that she is the b-E-S-T of WWE.

“So Sasha, [obligatory point to the WrestleMania sign] it’s on!!”

Also on this week’s SmackDown, Liv Morgan faced Tamina in a singles match. Tamina picked up the win by delivering a Samoan Drop following up by driving Morgan into the mat.

Triple Brand Battle Royal set for next week to determine Bayley’s opponent at SummerSlam

by

Bayley has now been SmackDown Women’s Champion for 300-days and has defeating several opponents in that time frame. She is also a dual champion as both her and Sasha Banks are the Women’s Tag Team Champions. That’s not all, but with Banks holding the RAW Women’s Champion, the duo is dominating WWE.

Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon had to step in and rectify the situation of the unclear winner of the RAW Women’s Championship match from Extreme Rules. She put into action a foolproof plan to determine the rightful titleholder of the RAW brand. In that, Bayley and Banks found the loophole that cost Asuka the title as she had to race to her best friend Kairi Sane’s aide after Bayley’s attack. This caused a count-out which McMahon had stated would still cause a title change in the stipulations.

This did not sit well with McMahon as she graced the big screen once again to deliver a message to the Golden Role Models on SmackDown. She explains that for SummerSlam, Banks will be defending her RAW Women’s Title. It may just be against Asuka if the Empress of Tomorrow can take out Bayley this Monday on RAW. As for Bayley, she too will be defending her SmackDown Women’s Title.

But who will be her opponent?

McMahon congratulated the duo on holding all the gold and that they have successfully made their way across all three brands. So as a result, she wants to help those that the duo have wronged by giving them a chance for some retribution.

Next week, there will be a Triple Brand Battle Royal that will include women from all three brands. The winner of that match will go on to SummerSlam and face Bayley for the SmackDown Women’s Title.

No names for the Battle Royal have been announced as of yet.

SmackDown Women’s Title match set for 7.31 – Bayley vs. Nikki Cross

by

On this week’s Friday Night SmackDown, Nikki Cross won another shot at the SmackDown Women’s Championship. She faced her tag team partner and best friend, Alexa Bliss, in a one-on-one match.

Cross picked up the win with a cradle after she seemed to be in trouble due to her injured ribs. The idea of the number one contender match was Bayley’s saying that if Cross wanted another shot at her title then she would have to earn it.

She recently had a title match against Bayley at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view last weekend. With SummerSlam, a month away, will Bayley still be SmackDown Women’s Champion heading into that event? Could we maybe move on for a feud between Cross and Bliss if Cross is able to take down the longest-reigning SmackDown champ?

What are your thoughts on seeing this match happen, again?
