As former champions go, Naomi has to be considered pretty far down the pecking order at the moment.

The winner of the inaugural WrestleMania battle royal match (Santino, who? Never heard of him), Naomi has struggled to keep any sort of momentum going on SmackDown, and her last notable appearance was taking part in a losing effort against The Iiconics at Super Show-Down.

Naomi is quickly being reduced to a glorified novelty act, and a win on Sunday night could really help establish her as one of the top competitors on SmackDown right now.

With Becky Lynch now playing the role of top heel on SmackDown, Naomi could use the opportunity to move up the pecking order and become the brand's second-biggest face behind Charlotte Flair.

While Naomi's first run with the SmackDown Women's Championship was far from memorable, it was far from terrible either, and she still has the potential to be a solid babyface champion on Tuesday nights, especially given the frosty receptions that Charlotte has been receiving as of late.
