#3. Shotzi Blackhart & Tegan Nox earn unexpected title shot on SmackDown

Shotzi Blackhart & Tegan Nox made a big splash on SmackDown in their Championship Contender's match against Women's Tag Team titleholders Natalya & Tamina.

It was a quick and fun match on SmackDown, with Shotzi getting a roll-up pin on Natalya. It's clear that the young tag team is next in line. But will they be able to displace Natalya and Tamina? It seems a bit too early to happen.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.


#2. Bianca Belair is SummerSlam ready

Ad

SmackDown Women's Champion Bianca Belair had a huge task on her hands. Just one night before her SmackDown Women's title defence, she voluntarily took on Zelina Vega and Carmella in back-to-back matches.

Bianca Belair won after struggling a bit, but she didn't look like she was under threat by any means. We were a bit surprised not to see Sasha Banks on the go-home episode of SmackDown before SummerSlam.

But it was a strong showing for Bianca Belair. She isn't guaranteed to retain the SmackDown Women's title at SummerSlam, and it wouldn't be too surprising to see Sasha Banks dethrone her in their rematch.
