After plenty of confusion in recent weeks, Nia Jax now knows exactly who she’ll be defending her WWE Women’s Title against at Bad Blood.

On the first episode of SmackDown back on the USA Network, WWE Women’s Champion Nia Jax made her presence felt as she sought to make an announcement for her title match at Bad Blood.

However, Jax was soon interrupted by Bayley who wanted a shot at the title she lost back at SummerSlam. Tiffany Stratton soon joined the fray and called Bayley a peasant for begging for a title shot, pointing out that as Ms Money In The Bank, that was something she didn’t have to do.

Naomi made her way to the ring and clearly wanted a shot at the gold which gave Nia Jax an idea. Jax suggested a match to see who would challenge her for the title at Bad Blood but the stakes were even higher than that.

Naomi and Bayley accepted a tag team match where if either of them pinned Jax or Stratton they would get the shot at the WWE Women’s Championship. However, Jax revealed after the bout was made that if Bayley or Naomi lost then they would be banished from SmackDown forever.

Nia Jax To Face Bayley

Bayley and Naomi ended up pinning Nia Jax simultaneously with the referee counting the fall. As a result, the only thing for sure was that neither Bayley nor Naomi were going to be forced off SmackDown.

Nick Aldis quickly addressed the situation by making a one-on-one match between Naomi and Bayley to take place on the 27th of September edition of SmackDown and the winner of that will face Nia Jax for the WWE Women’s Title at Bad Blood.

Now that match has taken place with Bayley coming out on top meaning that she will now challenge Nia Jax for the WWE Women’s Title on October 5th. After the match, Bayley tried to console Naomi but she quickly left the ring instead, clearly disappointed at the loss.

It was Bayley that Nia Jax defeated to win the WWE Women’s Championship back at SummerSlam in early August.
