Rousey Returns On SmackDown, Tag Team Match Set For Feb. 17

by

Ronda Rousey is back.

On the Feb. 10 episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Rousey returned after a confrontation between Natalya and Shayna Baszler happened in the ring. Natalya first took to the ring to cut a promo. She addressed Baszler who took her out a number of months ago with a broken nose. She says that Baszler took something from her so she repaid the favor and took Baszler’s spot in the upcoming Chamber match. She then called Baszler a cheap knock off of Rousey.

Baszler would head to the ring and tell Natalya that she has been doing this long before Rousey was even signed with WWE. The two got face to face in the ring before Rousey’s music hit. One Rousey entered the ring, she and Baszler attacked Natalya. Another previous victim of Baszler and Rousey, Shotzi, attempted to make the save but wasn’t successful. With Rousey holding Natalya back, Baszler hit another knee to Nataly’a face.

A tag team match has been booked for next week between Baszler and Rousey vs. Natalya and Shotzi.

Elsewhere on SmackDown, Chelsea Green made the trip over from Raw. She wanted to speak to the manager of SmackDown, not realizing it is the same as Raw – Adam Pearce. She blames it on facial amnesia. Pearce booked a match for Green alongside Sony Deville vs. Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez.


Although Green and Deville didn’t want to team up, they had to anyway…they would suffer defeat after Green gets pinned by Morgan. The final moments of the match had Morgan hit ObLIVion before Rodriguez powerbombs her onto Green.

The SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair addresses Rhea Ripley being her WrestleMania opponent.

Natalya Qualifies For Elimination Chamber Match

by

On the Feb. 3 episode of Friday Night SmackDown a Fatal 4-Way match took place to determine who would qualify for a spot in the Elimination Chamber. Natalya earned the spot by winning the match. Shotzi, Shayna Baszler, and Zelina Vega participated in the match.

The final moments saw Vega locked into a Kirifuda Clutch by Baszler who had to let go as Natalya went and missed with the discus clothesline. Baszler then locked in the clutch on Natalya but she was able to escape and push Baszler out of the ring. This let Natalya lock in the Sharpshooter on Vega to get the submission victory.

Natalya makes the fifth woman qualified for the Elimination Chamber Match on Feb. 18. It will be a number one contender match for the Raw Women’s Championship against Bianca Belair at WrestleMania. She joins Liv Morgan, Nikki Cross, Raquel Rodriguez, and Asuka who are already in the match.

On the upcoming Feb. 6 episode of Raw, we will see another Fatal 4-Way qualifying match to confirm the last entry into the chamber. It will be Candice LeRae vs. Michin Mia Yim vs. Piper Niven vs. Carmella.

Also on SmackDown, Charlotte Flair successfully defended her title against Sonya Deville. So her match against Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania is still intact. Flair retained after locking in the Figure Eight submission.

Over on NXT Level Up this week, Sol Ruca took on Lash Legend and came out with the victory after hitting Sol Snatcher.

Flair & Deville Brawl On SmackDown; Rodriguez Added To Royal Rumble

by

For those that missed the Jan. 13 episode of SmackDown, there were two women’s matches and a segment involving SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair continuing a feud with Sonya Deville.

The first women we saw during the night was a backstage segment between Liv Morgan, Maxxine Dupri, Emma, and Raquel Rodriguez. In the locker room, both Emma and Maxxine were questioning Morgan’s desire to enter the Royal Rumble in the number one position. Emma was giving her advice more out of care whereas Maxxine pretty much said she was dumb to want to enter at number one.

Rodriguez would enter the conversation and agree with both Emma and Maxxine. Morgan took offense to this and said she recently had her palm read. She wanted Rodriguez to take a look at her palm but instead, Morgan slapped her across the face. Rodriguez said she is tired of people not realizing she is the strongest woman in the locker room. This led to a match between the two later in the night. Rodriguez also declared herself for the Rumble.

The first match was between Tegan Nox and Xia Li. It was a quick affair between the two only lasting a few minutes. The winner of the match would be Nox after she avoided a spinning kick from Li. Nox hit the Shiniest Wizard to get the pinfall victory.

Valhalla was involved in a Viking Raiders vignette calling out Drew McIntyre & Sheamus.

The second match as mentioned earlier was Morgan facing Rodriguez. Lasting a bit longer than the first women’s match, this one went to Rodriguez. As the match came to its conclusion, Morgan pulled out a table despite this not being any type of stipulation match. She set it up and placed Rodriguez on top of it on the outside. As Morgan climbed to the top, Rodriguez would roll off the table and got back in the ring. Still on the turnbuckle, Morgan went to hit a crossbody but was swatted down by Rodriguez. Rodriguez followed up with the Tejana Bomb to get the pin.

Lastly, Sonya Deville was backstage in Adam Pearce’s office demanding a rematch for the SmackDown Women’s Title against Charlotte Flair. Deville failed to get the victory last week and wants another match. Pearce explained to her that’s not how it works, she just lost and has to go to the back of the line. Deville wouldn’t accept this and said she will get her rematch essentially her way.

Moments later after a commercial break, Deville attacked Flair backstage and the two entered into a brawl. The brawl was broken up multiple times by officials but it did last a few minutes.

Updated list of 2023 Women’s Royal Rumble Participants –

  • Liv Morgan
  • Candice LeRae
  • Rhea Ripley
  • Raquel Rodriguez

You can check out exclusives from Tegan Nox and Liv Morgan below –

Xia Li Assists Damage CTRL To Retain The Women’s Tag Team Titles

by

On the Dec. 16 episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Damage CTRL successfully retained their Women’s Tag Team Championships after defeating Liv Morgan and Tegan Nox. However, they did have some help, and not just from Bayley.

The match opened the show and the two teams put on a solid match but it reached its conclusion after Nox had a moment with Bayley at the time keeper area. Nox dumped Bayley over the barricade in order to remove her from the situation when a woman in a hoodie kicked Nox. The assailant would be dragged to the back by security immediately after the attack.

This allowed IYO SKY to get Nox back in the ring, deliver a moonsault, and pin her to retain the tag titles for Damage CTRL.

A little later during the show, a WWE Exclusive appeared on WWE’s social media. It would show the hooded assailant being brought to the back as Adam Pearce would reveal who it was that attacked Nox. It would end up being Xia Li. Pearce would order her to go to his office, but there was no follow-up on this for the rest of the show.

Other women from this episode includes Zelina Vega, Valhalla, and B-Fab. Much like last week, all three women were at ringside for their respective stables. There was a triple threat of Hit Row, The Vking Raiders, and Legado del Fantasma to determine the number one contenders for the men’s tag team titles.

During the match, Vega would get involved as she hit Ashante Thee Adonis with a head scissor takedown. B-Fab delivered a bicycle kick to Vega knocking her out of the ring before Valhalla kicked B-Fab in the throat. Both B-Fab and Valhalla were on the outside by commentary when Vega would launch off the second rope and lay out Valhalla.

Lastly, Raquel Rodriguez would be interviewed backstage. She confirmed that she would be in the Gauntlet match set for next week to determine the number one contender for the SmackDown Women’s Championship. Shayna Baszler and current SmackDown Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey would appear and attack the already injured Rodriguez.
