Six Woman Tag Match: Alexa Bliss, Mickie James, Natalya vs Becky Lynch, Naomi, Nikki Bella
It is a testament to just how good the writing and story lines have been on Smackdown to not only have this match make it to the pay per view portion of the Royal Rumble but for fans to actually care about it. It seems like over the years secondary women’s feuds are normally pushed to the side and although women’s championship programs are more heavily pushed, not much else is for the women’s divisions.
So to see the Natalya/Nikki Bella feud generate so much heat is a very nice surprise. Add the return of 5-time champ Mickie James, the rise of future star Alexa Bliss, and the fighting spirit of Becky Lynch, this match has a great chance to advance some the story lines and continue to build the Smackdown Women’s division.
What a win would mean to all involved: There’s 6 individual wrestlers here so I’m not going to break down each person. But just know that since everyone competing here is in the title picture, scoring the decisive pinfall or submission will have a serious effect on the winner’s future. Everyone could use the W here but the process to get there will arduous for them but should be very fun for us.
