The title is currently held by Charlotte Flair, who is looking for a new Challenger. One of the Superstars who recently stepped up to challenge her was Lana’s former Tag Team partner Naomi – and she feels that Naomi should win the title.
“Naomi is more then deserving to face Charlotte for the #SmackDown championship! I want to see gold around Naomi waist !!!!!!!” – tweetedLana.
