Bayley vs. IYO SKY (c) for the WWE Women’s Championship is officially the first match announced for WrestleMania 40.
The leader of Damage CTRL no more, Bayley was turned on by the group sans Dakota Kai. Kai was not present. Bayley went out to the ring with SKY, Asuka, and Kairi Sane. She addressed the three of them in Japanese and said she picked that up from them talking about her.
Bayley says all she ever wanted was for Damage CTRL to be on top and for her to go to WrestleMania with them. She asks IYO what happened because ever since Asuka and Kairi joined the group she feels IYO turned her back on her. Asuka and Kairi attacked Bayley from behind with IYO giving the directions.
Bayley who was knocked down, pulled out a lead pipe from under the ring and went after her now former teammates. She squared up with IYO before the champ exited the ring. Bayley tells IYO she will see her at WrestleMania.
Elsewhere on SmackDown we FINALLY see B-Fab joining the Bobby Lashley and Street Profits group. In a match that was supposed to be a six match tag against The Final Testament (Karrion Kross & AOP) the referee was unable to get order. Lashley was trying to put Kross in the Hurt Lock but Scarlett jumped on his back and was digging into his eyes. B-Fab showed up to take out Scarlett.
Tiffany Stratton has been called up and officially made her in ring debut. She took on Michin after slapping her in the face earlier in the night. Stratton came out with a victory off of her PME.
Naomi has been confirmed as a SmackDown Superstar once again. She came out of Nick Aldis’ office with a contract right before Stratton did. She speaks with Byron Saxton in an exclusive interview about being back.
Elektra Lopez was fully welcomed to the SmackDown brand and the last piece of the new Legado del Fantasma.
Lastly, Nick Aldis was speaking to Bron Breakker about a SmackDown contract. Adam Pearce entered and convinced him to show up to Raw before signing. Jade Cargill entered saying Aldis wanted to speak with her.
