Earlier in Smackdown, the entire tag team division was shown off in a single match. Later, the women's division had their turn - and thankfully, they're a much stronger group all around.

Becky Lynch and Carmella were scheduled to take on Natalya and Alexa Bliss in tag team action, and while the bout got started without a hitch, there was soon an interruption. Like during Becky's match last week, Eva Marie's entrance started to play, complete with the announcer. Sure enough, "The Red Queen" was out, stealing attention and distracting the women in the ring.

She wouldn't get to become part of the show without paying the price, though. Naomi came out and chased Eva Marie around the ring, and in the chaos, Natalya rolled up Becky. Becky kicked out and locked Natalya in the Dis-arm-her, drawing the submission.

Unlike the tag team division, the women's division has more strong competitors than weak ones. While Carmella is still unpolished - and the less said about Eva Marie, the better - Naomi, Becky, Natalya, and Bliss are all strong potential champions.
