5 bets for Sin City SmackDown Live in Las Vegas

#2 SmackDown Women's Championship Match

Natalya vs. Naomi for the SmackDown Women's Championship

The tag team title match and the United States title match are pretty easy picks, but there aren't as many guarantees when it comes to the SmackDown Women's Championship bout.

This is Naomi's built-in rematch since dropping the title to Natalya at SummerSlam, which at first makes me think it's a pretty obvious retention on Nattie's behalf.

In the grand scheme of things, WWE rarely has someone win the title back right after losing it, and since we just saw that happen between Sasha Banks and Alexa Bliss, I doubt they'll do that again so soon.

However, that doesn't mean Natalya is assured to leave SmackDown with the title in her possession.

A bigger looming threat is Carmella's Money in the Bank contract and the possibility that she may cash in at some point in the evening.

The tenuous relationship between The Princess of Staten Island and James Ellsworth is something to keep your eye on, as this may be an indicator of impending success or doom, depending on what story WWE wants to tell.

They quickly rekindled their partnership last week, to a certain extent, but things are still somewhat estranged between the two and if they are doing this Carmella's way from now on, what does that entail?

Since Baron Corbin failed in his cash-in attempt, it's a smart bet that Carmella won't suffer the same problem, but whether or not that happens here on this particular show or somewhere else down the line is what really has to be called into question.

Instead of having a 50/50 shot at leaving SmackDown with the title, Natalya is just one of three women who could walk away with the belt by the end of the night and you may want to press your luck by hedging your bets with a second wager on Carmella, too.
