After Nikki Bella engages her scheduled opponent, Natalya, in a backstage brawl, Naomi's return gets spoiled in a face-to-face encounter with the Wicked Witch of WWE.

Naomi made her return to SmackDown LIVE after several months away, intent on having a match against Natalya. However, The Queen of Hart(less) never showed, thanks to an impromptu brawl that once again broke out between Natalya and Nikki Bella backstage (their second of the night). This prompted Naomi to get on the microphone and call out any woman on the Team Blue roster.

Alexa Bliss answered the call, well, sorta. The SmackDown Women’s Champion arrived, seemingly just to insult Naomi and attempt to inform her that SmackDown LIVE was now her domain. Naomi did not flinch in the face of adversity as Bliss left smugly.
