7 New WWE Directions After Money In The Bank 2017
6. Naomi Feuding With Carmella
It looks like Lana is already out of the SmackDown Women's Title picture following just one championship challenge. After losing to Naomi, the 'Ravishing Russian' will move on to feud with someone else, hopefully improving her in-ring ability the more she works. Meanwhile, Carmella is being clearly installed as Naomi's next foe.
Carmella showed up during Naomi vs. Lana and threatened to cash in 'her' Money In The Bank briefcase. The smart play would be having Daniel Bryan take that case off her, then booking Carmella to win it again before going on to successfully trade it for Naomi's title. Why not? Carmella has pretty much replaced Alexa Bliss as SmackDown's vindictive b*tch anyway.
Matches between Carmella and Naomi would also be better than any involving Lana (at least until she gets up to scratch, which will only happen with more experience). WWE are obviously testing the water for a full-blown Carmella vs. Naomi feud.
