Naomi returns to SmackDown; Bianca Belair earns future title shot against Becky Lynch

Tonight’s SmackDown opened up with the new SmackDown Women’s Champion. Becky Lynch returned last Sunday at SummerSlam and became the talk of the wrestling world as she defeated Bianca Belair in just 26-seconds to become champion. Lynch confirmed in her opening promo that she isn’t sorry for anything in regards to how her return went down.

Bianca Belair joined Lynch in the ring. She explains that she was willing to face Lynch at SummerSlam at the last minute, so Lynch should do the same for her and face her tonight with the title on the line.

Lynch couldn’t give Belair an answer without several interruptions. Zelina Vega, Carmella, and Liv Morgan all interrupted Belair trying to get herself a rematch. Eventually, Belair would bring the focus back to her. Lynch would give her answer to Belair for a rematch on tonight’s show and it was a flat-out no. Not tonight.

This left the other four women in the ring, and they would battle in a Fatal 4-way elimination match to determine who would earn a future shot at the SmackDown Women’s Title.

The match ends up coming down to Belair and Morgan who had an amazing back and forth between each other. Vega was eliminated first by Belair with a KOD followed by Carmella who was eliminated by Morgan with ObLIVion.

In the final moments of the match, Belair attempted to get the KOD but Morgan fought it off. Although Morgan avoided the KOD for the moment, she found herself face-first into the top turnbuckle. Morgan then walked right back into the KOD which Belair was able to execute to get the pin and the win.

Belair will be getting her rematch for the SmackDown Women’s Championship against Becky Lynch.

Naomi officially showed back up on SmackDown. Several weeks ago it was rumored that she was quietly moved back to the blue brand. Excited to be there, Naomi showed up in Sonya Deville’s office.

Ready to find out who she would be facing first, Deville admitted she didn’t even know she was coming to SmackDown. She adds that she isn’t quite sure if Naomi will measure up. Naomi reminded her that she is a two-time SmackDown Women’s Champion. Deville says she will think about it and get back to her next week.

Zelina Vega says she has “unfinished business” with Bianca Belair

Zelina Vega shocked the WWE audience when she returned to SmackDown this past Friday. Vega was released from the company in November and reports in May started to swirl noting that she would be making her return. Up until Friday that was pure speculation.

WWE Authority Sonya Deville announced Vega’s returning by adding her into the upcoming Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Vega was on this weekend’s Talking Smack to discuss her return and involvement in the match and which champion she may target if she wins the briefcase. She was also in action on Friday in a losing effort against Liv Morgan who is trying to prove she deserves her own spot in the MITB match.

“I think I have some unfinished business with Bianca [Belair]. If she’s even going to remain champion, although, I’m not really fond of Bayley either. Whoever it’s going to be, that’s who I have my eyes on right now.”

In 2020, Vega and Belair had a rivalry in which Belair came out with victories on numerous occasions. The story writes itself regardless if Vega wins the briefcase or not with her being a potential future opponent for the SmackDown Women’s Champion. Vega also included NXT in the discussion of possible champions to cash in on if she were to win the contract.

She joins Alexa Bliss, Asuka, Naomi, Nikki Cross, and Carmella so far for this upcoming match. Two more names from SmackDown are still to be announced. Belair is set to defend her title against Bayley at Money in the Bank in an “I Quit Match.”

With the names so far announced for the MITB match, do you think Zelina has good odds to win? Join the discussion below.
