6 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE SmackDown (21 Feb)

2. Naomi Gets Her Shot

It's looking increasingly like Bayley will work a Triple Threat against Carmella and Naomi at WrestleMania 36 in Tampa. Both women have been in the title mix as of late, and both will have had one-on-one shots against the SmackDown Women's Champ by the time 'Mania rolls around.

Naomi is next in line, and she deserves it.

This is one match fans should be looking forward to on the Super ShowDown card. If Bayley works the same hyper-aggressive style she did against Carmella in last week's SmackDown opener, then Naomi will be able to rally the crowd behind her cause, and that will only enhance the match. This one has genuine potential to do well if it's given 10+ minutes in Saudi.

There will already be a unique atmosphere surrounding the bout (it's only the second women's match WWE has hosted in the country, and it's the first title one) that Bayley and Naomi can feed off of. Naomi looked great on SmackDown, and there's more to come against the increasingly-comfortable heel champion.
