WWE SmackDown Flops and Hits: Roman Reigns’ next challenger confirmed, Brock Lesnar news stuns biggest names on the show (26th November, 2021)

#2 Hit on WWE SmackDown: Naomi

Sasha Banks confronted Sonya Deville on WWE SmackDown regarding the events at the Survivor Series pay-per-view. She accused Deville of sabotaging her before bringing up Naomi. Their backstage conversation led to a tag team match that saw the latter and Banks teaming up to take Shayna Baszler and Natalya.

All four superstars were brilliant in this in-ring bout on the Friday night show. Banks and Naomi won the crowd’s support with their in-ring resilience, while Baszler and Natalya drew heat with their brilliant work. There was not a single dull moment throughout the match.

Naomi was particularly impressive when she was targeted by Natalya and Baszler. She took a lot of punishment before fighting back against both her opponents, eventually causing the entire arena to cheer for her in unison.

After a dominant performance, Naomi pinned Natalya to win the match for her team following which she and Banks celebrated in front of Sonya Deville on WWE SmackDown.

Sasha Banks did well in letting Naomi enjoy the spotlight on the blue brand. The two-time women’s champion has suffered a lot over the last few weeks and deserves to be a part of such a booking on WWE SmackDown.

Another excellent highlight of the match was Pat McAfee, who elevated Naomi’s entrance and then questioned Deville’s intentions throughout the match, even when the latter tried to threaten the beloved commentator by playing her authority card.
