This week’s WWE SmackDown delivered an intense main event featuring Bayley squaring off against Naomi. However, the highly anticipated match concluded amidst controversy when Tiffany Stratton intervened, altering the course of the bout.
Last week, Stratton faced Naomi in a bid to become the #1 contender for the WWE Women’s Championship but fell short in her quest.
Meanwhile, Naomi emerged as the first challenger for Bayley’s title following the latter’s victory over IYO SKY at WrestleMania XL.
In the aftermath of the dramatic events on SmackDown, Bayley took to social media to address the contentious conclusion to the match. Sharing her thoughts, the former NXT Women’s Champion hinted at her intentions with a cryptic message:
“It’s not a prediction, it’s a spoiler alert.”
Former WWE writer Freddie Prinze Jr. weighed in on the wrestling action, particularly praising Bayley’s showdown with IYO SKY at WrestleMania XL. On his podcast “Wrestling with Freddie,” Prinze Jr. commended IYO SKY’s unique style and expressed his support for Bayley’s championship triumph.
While Bayley’s reign as champion continues, the sudden emergence of Stratton in the title picture has added an element of uncertainty to the upcoming Backlash Premium Live Event.
