Bayley & Naomi Score Double Pinfall on Nia Jax on 9/20 WWE SmackDown

The intensity in the women’s division hit a boiling point on the September 20 edition of Friday Night SmackDown, as Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton teamed up against Bayley and Naomi in a high-stakes tornado tag match. Hours before the show, SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis upped the ante by turning the bout into a tornado tag, ensuring a no-tags, anything-goes environment.

The match carried serious consequences for all involved, setting up the path for WWE’s upcoming Bad Blood PLE. If Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton won, the competitor pinned on the opposing team would be forced to leave SmackDown permanently. On the other hand, if Bayley and Naomi secured the victory, whoever scored the pinfall would become the No. 1 contender for Nia Jax’s WWE Women’s Championship at Bad Blood.

What ensued was a chaotic, action-packed battle, with each woman pushing herself to the absolute limit. Bayley and Naomi had the championship opportunity in their sights, while Nia and Tiffany were intent on banishing one of their rivals from the blue brand. Both teams displayed impressive coordination, with Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton working well together despite their different styles. Meanwhile, Bayley and Naomi remained determined, despite moments of tension where each tried to outdo the other in an attempt to earn the championship opportunity.

As the match progressed, the action spilled all over ringside, thanks to the tornado tag stipulation. Near-falls and breathtaking spots kept the audience on the edge of their seats. In a pivotal moment, Tiffany Stratton accidentally hit her own partner, Nia Jax, with a Swanton Bomb, giving Bayley and Naomi the upper hand. The duo then hit Tiffany with a devastating 1-D, but before they could capitalize, Nia Jax launched an attack on both competitors.

The closing moments of the match saw Naomi and Bayley working together one last time, rolling Nia Jax up for a simultaneous pinfall, securing the victory. However, this outcome left everyone—including Nia Jax—confused as both Bayley and Naomi had scored the pinfall at the same time. Now, the question remains: Who will face Nia Jax for the WWE Women’s Championship at WWE Bad Blood?
