Charlotte vs Natalya
We opened the show with a battle of wrestling royalty, as Charlotte faced Natalya. Both women were slow off the start, sizing the other up. It was The Queen who made the first move, looking for her vicious Spear. Natalya saw it coming, and caught Charlotte with a big clothesline. She then locked in the patented submission hold, the Sharpshooter. It took everything she had, but Charlotte managed to escape, and then quickly locked in a Figure Eight Leglock. This time it was Natalya who powered out, but Charlotte connected with a boot to the midsection and followed up with Natural Selection for the win.
Winner: Charlotte
A Backstage Attack
We were then taken backstage, where officials found Brie Bella unconscious. With Brie scheduled to compete up next, what happens now?
Naomi vs ???
The show must go on, and now Naomi awaited her opponent, the newest member on SmackDown's women's division. That opponent was no other than the monstrous Nia Jax, who has not been seen since she walked out of Raw with the WWE Women's Title back in October. This was nothing more than a massacre, as Nia delivered two big leg drops to advance to our main event.
Winner: Nia Jax
Emma vs Dana Brooke
Emma had a chance to face former protege Alexa Bliss at WrestleMania, but she had to go through current tag team partner Dana Brooke first. Although they have formed a strong friendship, neither woman held anything back on this night. It was the veteran instincts of Emma that played in her favor, as Dana was a little too over-zealous. It looked to be all over when Emma connected with a Michinoku Driver, but Dana shocked everyone, kicking out at two. A surprised Emma fell victim to a big running forearm smash, as Dana Brooke pulled victory from the brink of defeat.
Winner: Dana Brooke
Becky Lynch vs Paige
These two competitors have had some wars in the past, and this was no different. Becky Lynch and Paige bought their best to Washington, D.C. The Anti-Diva showcased her power, tossing Becky around the ring out of the gate. This only served to fire the Irish Lass-Kicker up, who dropped the former champion with several dropkicks. Paige turned the tide with a rake to the eyes, and looked for a Paige-Turner. Becky had the move well scouted, and turned her inside out with a big clothesline. The fight spilled to the floor, where Paige was sent into the steel steps multiple times. Becky had to re-enter the ring to break the official's count, giving Paige time to consider her options. She grabbed a sledgehammer, intending to get disqualified. Becky was having none of it, knocking the weapon out of her hands and locking in a Dis-arm-her to finally earn a big win.
Winner: Becky Lynch
Big Night Next Week
Next week on SmackDown, we will see a tag team number one contender's match, as The Revival face The Club. Plus, AJ Styles vs Triple H in the main event!
Charlotte vs Nia Jax vs Dana Brooke vs Becky Lynch- #1 Contender's Match for the SmackDown Women's Title
This was as chaotic as it was excellent, as the SmackDown women's division produced another gem. Right off the bat, you could tell that Nia Jax was going to be very difficult to defeat, as she took out the other three competitors. Charlotte and Becky each tried to take out the monster, but it was surprisingly Dana Brooke that did the most damage, as her strength was in full display. With Nia out of the picture, Becky managed to apply the Dis-arm-her twice, to both Dana and Charlotte. Both women escaped the hold, and the Irish Lass-Kicker was left dumbfounded. Nia entered the ring with a fury, taking Becky to the outside of the ring for a vicious brawl. Charlotte tried desperately to put Dana away, and nearly lost it herself after a big backbreaker. Nia dispatched of both Dana and Becky, and it was left with just her and Charlotte. Nia connected on a spinebuster and looked for a leg drop, but Charlotte rolled out of the way. For the second time of the night, Natural Selection was her savior, and The Queen will now fight for her crown at WrestleMania.
Winner: Charlotte
Can Charlotte become the Queen of SmackDown, or will the Wicked Witch Alexa Bliss pull off another upset at the Showcase of the Immortals? We will find out at WrestleMania. Until then, take care.
