SmackDown Women’s Title match booked for Hell in a Cell; Carmella defeats Liv Morgan

This week’s SmackDown saw SmackDown Women’s Champion Bianca Belair putting her foot down when it comes to Bayley. Belair knows that she has bested Bayley inside the ring, however, for a while now the Role Model has been getting in the head of the EST.

Belair admits that she has had people mocking and laughing at her her entire life. Something that Bayley continues to do to her with her excessive cackling. So the champ decides to take the matter in her own hands and challenges Bayley to a match at Hell in a Cell.

As Belair is waiting for Bayley to answer the challenge, the champion starts to hear the cackling. Bayley shows up on the screen via satellite from her “sanctuary” where she had photos of herself as champion plastered behind her. The Role Model then accepts the EST’s challenge and says that she won’t be the only one laughing when she beats her. She then starts her laughter as all the screens in the Thunderdome fill up with the image of Bayley cackling.

Much like the upcoming RAW Women’s Championship match between Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair, this match was not announced to be inside the Hell in a Cell structure at the time of this writing.

Also on SmackDown, Carmella took on Liv Morgan. Prior to the match, Morgan addressed in a prerecorded promo that she thinks it is so cute that Carmella thinks she is the most beautiful woman in all of WWE. Morgan considers Carmella a 7 at best.

At the end of the match, Carmella tripped up Morgan and then proceeded to lock her in the Code of Silence. Morgan then tapped out to give Carmella the victory. After the match, Carmella required the ring announcer to address her win by referring to her as “the most beautiful woman in all of WWE.”

Morgan took to her social media after her loss and tweeted out to “keep watching.”

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

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.
