Nia Jax Bad Blood opponent revealed on SmackDown (via WWE)
Nia Jax addressed the WWE Universe on the latest episode of SmackDown. The WWE Women’s Champion announced that she would defend her title at the upcoming Bad Blood PLE. Further, Jax gloated about her one-year anniversary since her WWE return. However, Bayley had heard enough and interrupted her archnemesis. As expected, The Role Model wanted to invoke her rematch clause against Jax.
The Irresistible Force refused, accusing Bayley of always hiding behind Damage CTRL last year. In response, the former leader claimed that Jax did the same when she won the championship with assistance from Tiffany Stratton. Stratton defended her friend as the duo threatened to beat up Bayley. Naomi arrived to not only even the odds but to lay down her own challenge for the women’s title.
As such, Jax proposed a tag team match for next week’s SmackDown. The Queen of the Ring challenged Naomi and Bayley, saying that whoever would gain the pinfall would face her at Bad Blood. However, Jax added another twist. The Samoan wrestler stated that if she and Stratton emerge victorious, then the loser will have to leave the blue brand permanently.
Just like that, Nia Jax stirred the pot between her potential challengers. Although Bayley and Naomi are good friends, both stars will do anything to gain a shot at the title. Having said that, fans will have to wait and see how things transpire on next week’s episode of SmackDown.
Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton hinted at going after the Women’s Tag Team Championships
Later on in the show, Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair sent a message to the women’s locker room backstage. The Tag Team Champions claimed that they were ready to face anyone from any show. Nia Jax interjected alongside Tiffany Stratton as the duo confronted Cargill and Belair.
The Irresistible Force ‘congratulated’ the duo on regaining the belts at Bash in Berlin. However, Jax made it clear that she runs the show. By the looks of it, Stratton and Jax could potentially go after the tag titles in the future.
Over the past few months, the former NXT stars have formed an alliance on the blue brand. Despite the ongoing champion-Ms. MITB dynamic between the pair, they’ve managed to work well against their enemies. Nonetheless, a tag team feud involving all four superstars would certainly be box office.
