WWE Smackdown 5 Predictions: Samoa Joe Becomes The New U.S. Champion

4. Naomi and Lana Team Up
RAVISHING GLOW! Naomi and Lana seem to have formed a friendship as the weeks went by. These two female athletes have a lot of history.
It all started when Lana debuted on Smackdown Live on June 6, 2017 and immediately wanted to be in the Women’s MITB Ladder match. Naomi thought that Lana was getting ahead of herself since she has not even had a match on the main roster to even be qualified for a MITB Ladder match.
Lana eventually got on Naomi’s bad side when she decided to distract Naomi and cost her the victory during her 6-women tag match against the Carmella, Natalya, and Tamina, who were known as the Welcoming Committee at the time. Naomi, who was the Smackdown Women’s Champion, pleaded to Smackdown Commissioner Shane O Mac that she get a title match with Lana at the MITB PPV of 2017.
Check out these three links from WWE’s Youtube page below that show this buildup to their rivalry a year ago on Smackdown Live:
Despite their rivalrous history, Naomi and Lana have something in common. They are both flexible dancers, as indicated by their dance off on May 29, 2018. Check out this link from WWE’s Youtube page that shows their dance off a month ago on Smackdown Live:
Shades of the Funkadactyls? If so, then somebody call my momma! After getting along with the cast of GLOW last week on Smackdown Live, Naomi and Lana could potentially become a dancing babyface tag team and pander to the crowd as they face off against heel tag teams on Smackdown, like the two members of Absolution and the IIconics.
No matter who they face tonight, I think Naomi and Lana will get their first tag victory together to gain momentum as a unit. They will be RAVISHING together, they will snatch their opponents bald, and everyone will certainly FEEL THE GLOW.
