WWE announced a fatal four-way match among Mandy Rose, Sonya Deville, Naomi, and Carmella in order to determine the #1 contender for Asuka's Smackdown Women's Championship.

While the friction between the Fire and Desire remains to be the focus of the match, there's also Naomi and Carmella competing to get a shot at the women's title. Carmella is clearly in the match just to take the pinfall while the others have a chance to feature on the WrestleMania card in the women's title match.

Naomi has finished her program with Mandy Rose and has no clear path for WrestleMania at the moment. She was the winner of the women's Battle Royal last year which led her nowhere. But, next week she has a chance to get a shot at the women's title.

And therefore, here are 5 reasons why Naomi should win the Fatal four-way match and face Asuka at Wrestlemania.


#5 To make her re-sign with WWE

The contracts of the Usos are up just after Wrestlemania and they are rumored to leave the company for a better stage for tag-team wrestling. This is why they were made the Smackdown's Tag Team Champions in order to convince them.

Naomi, in all probability, would also be leaving the company alongside her husband Jimmy Uso if the Usos indeed don't re-sign.

There were rumors that Jimmy Uso and Naomi were knowingly trying to get fired by the WWE during the former's arrest incident.

A title match at the Grandest stage of them all might lure Naomi to renegotiate with the WWE and stay with the company. Even a title victory over Asuka might be offered to her in order to make her stay.

Moreover, Naomi is a recognizable figure with her Total Divas stint and WWE can't let AEW have a household name with mainstream attention under their banner.

#4 To provide a quality match

It's not a dig on the other three superstars involved in the match. Each one of Mandy Rose, Sonya Deville, and Carmella have improved and are no slouch in the ring but Naomi is still the better performer and capable of providing a great match with Asuka.

There are four women's matches rumored for Wrestlemania, three title matches and a supposedly returning women's Battle Royal.

Naomi vs Asuka could be the only singles women's match on the card as if Mandy or Sonya would win, it might be turned into a triple threat involving both members of Fire and Desire against the champion Asuka.

In either case, the championship match would be highly underrated. So, WWE should put their best performers to provide a quality match up.

If given the appropriate amount of time, Naomi vs Asuka could steal the show or would at least be the best women's match on the show.

#3 To explore the history and friendship between the two

It is often seen that the best of friends make the best rivals, for example, Shawn Michaels and Triple H. Ever since Asuka arrived in WWE, Naomi was the only female superstar we have seen her get paired with. They have competed against the likes of the IIconics and Fire and Desire, and were seen as a capable team for women's tag championship if they continued together.

Asuka went on to win the women's title and thus leaving no chance for the duo to start competing for the tag titles which left Naomi without much. Although, she was involved in a controversial storyline with Mandy Rose that didn't take off well.

A rivalry between the two friends is beneficial for both of them as it gives them a proper storyline to work with. More importantly, this match could lead to a mark out moment which is...

#2 To turn Naomi heel

Let me ask you all a question, what do you remember about Shinsuke Nakamura after his last year's Royal Rumble win? The majority will answer the heel turn at Wrestlemania and maybe the No Speak English stint which accompanied the heel turn. While it's not a fault of his own but the creatives, the heel turn certainly made its mark.

Similarly, a heel turn from Naomi could bring a lot of attention towards the duo, both of which were going under the radar. This would also help in creating a mark out moment for the Smackdown's Women's title which is highly overlooked in favor of its RAW counterpart.

A heel turn could give Naomi a new direction and she could continue her feud with Asuka in the upcoming months. It would all depend on the creatives that they could handle her well and don't downgrade her like Nakamura.

#1 To give Rose and Deville a separate platform

Mandy Rose got her shot at the Smackdown Women's title at Fastlane but lost the match due to mishandling of the ring skirts by Sonya Deville. This lead to Mandy getting upset with Deville and doing the same mistake during Deville's match with Asuka after which Rose walked off.

Tension is rising between the members of Fire and Desire and they can come to blows in the coming weeks. And in most probability, if either of the members wins the fatal four-way match, the other is bound to join, making it a triple threat which dilutes its RAW counterpart's program.

Even if WWE goes with the triple threat, it devalues the title as the rivalry between the two becomes the major focus of the match and not the title itself.

Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville should compete in the women's Battle Royal where they could further their feud and one of them could even win the whole match.
