Best Non-Title Singles Match
Nikki Bella vs. Natalya – Falls Count Anywhere (SmackDown, 2017)
The culmination of one of SmackDown’s most personal feuds, Nikki Bella vs. Natalya delivered chaos, grit, and storytelling at its finest. This match marked the boiling point of their rivalry after Carmella revealed Natalya as the woman who took out Nikki before Survivor Series — a reveal still remembered as one of the best segments from the “SmackDown Six” era.
It’s no exaggeration to say this was Nikki Bella’s best in-ring performance — and one of Natalya’s too. From the ambitious spots to the emotional callbacks, everything clicked. And let’s not forget Maryse’s surprise cameo, teasing the feud that would carry Nikki into WrestleMania. It’s easy to see why this one dominated the votes.

Naomi dazzled with innovation, Ember Moon soared, and Becky Lynch stood right on the edge of her era-defining transformation into The Man. Meanwhile, Sasha and Natalya selflessly made sure every woman had her spotlight.
