High-Stakes Tag Team Match Set for SmackDown: Title Shot or Potential Removal on the Line

Nia Jax, the current WWE Women’s Champion, has set up a high-stakes tag team match for the upcoming September 20 episode of SmackDown. Jax and Stratton will face off against Bayley and Naomi, with significant consequences for all involved. If Bayley or Naomi secure a victory, the one who scores the winning pin or submission will earn a title shot against Jax at the Bad Blood event. However, if Jax and Stratton win, the wrestler who takes the loss will be indefinitely removed from SmackDown.

The challenge came about during SmackDown’s season premiere when Jax announced her title defense at Bad Blood. Bayley interrupted, demanding a rematch, which led to a confrontation involving Stratton and later Naomi. Despite the risks, both Bayley and Naomi accepted the terms of Jax’s challenge, setting the stage for a crucial match that could significantly impact their careers.

Jax has held the WWE Women’s Championship for 41 days, having defeated Bayley for the title at SummerSlam 2024. For Naomi, this represents a chance to potentially regain singles gold, which she hasn’t held since winning the SmackDown Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 33 in 2017. The upcoming tag team match promises high drama and potentially career-altering consequences for the wrestlers involved.
