On the whole, Naomi was a bit-part player in the Six-Pack Challenge to crown the first ever SmackDown Women's Champion. Her dancing entrance does provoke a nice reaction from fans, but realistically Naomi was never really in the running to bag the fresh title. That didn't mean she couldn't turn some heads however.

Not only did Naomi perform an eye-catching springboard dive onto her opponents gathered on the outside of the ring, she also provided one of the opening bout's stellar spots. As Natalya geared up to hit a Powerbomb from the corner on Alexa Bliss, Naomi soared through the air gracefully and hit a Blockbuster-style move.

That was all she wrote for Bliss, who was eliminated soon thereafter. It would have been easy for the timing to be off on this double-whammy for Alexa, but everybody was on point to ensure the bump looked tasty and like it nearly took the diminutive heel's head off.

If that becomes Naomi's new finisher (obviously without the Powerbomb help), there can be few complaints.
