WWE SmackDown: 10 Things You Might Have Missed (Oct 25)
6. Brilliant Emphasis On The SmackDown Women's Title
On November 8 in Glasgow, Scotland (during WWE's first ever television tapings in the country), SmackDown Live will feature a match between Becky Lynch and Alexa Bliss for the SmackDown Women's Title. This is a bout that has been hyped for weeks, the sheer number of times the city was uttered on the show hammered home how seriously management are taking it.
On the comeback trail, Lynch entered the ring for an interview with Renee Young. Interrupting almost immediately, Alexa Bliss said that Becky should just hand over the title now to save herself from the beating she's going to get in Glasgow.
A standard back-and-forth skit, it must be pointed out that virtually all of the dialogue both women traded put over their respective desires to hold the SmackDown Women's Title. Becky said she had been working for the thing her whole career, whereas Alexa said she was the rightful owner.
This contrasts heavily with what's happening on Raw between Sasha Banks and Charlotte. Most of their rivalry now revolves around making history inside Hell In A Cell. It's really cool to see the SmackDown women choosing to focus on the belt in question during their feud.
