7. Title Rematch To Take Place Tonight On SmackDown Live
WWE has announced that Lana will face Naomi for the SmackDown Women’s Championship once again on tonight’s episode of SmackDown Live. Below is what WWE posted:
Naomi to defend SmackDown Women’s Title against Lana tonight
After making claims of a controversial ending in her previous title opportunity, Lana has been granted another chance to challenge SmackDown Women’s Champion Naomi tonight on SmackDown LIVE.
Shortly after her quick defeat at the hands of Naomi this past Tuesday, Lana took to Twitter and pointed out that her shoulder was off the mat as the champion pinned her for the three-count, also throwing some shade at the referees and WWE officials in the process.
To clear things up once and for all, SmackDown LIVE General Manager Daniel Bryan announced on Friday that The Ravishing Russian will get another opportunity to prove herself against Naomi.
I obviously did NOT get pined! I want a FAIR title match! Clearly the ref & all of @WWE are cheaters & favor @NaomiWWE over me! #SDLive pic.twitter.com/puUUrbWIap
