During the opening of SmackDown, General Manager Daniel Bryan invited Naomi to the ring to address the rumors surrounding her injury. Naomi would join Daniel in the ring, where it was revealed that due to Naomi’s injury, she would have to relinquish her belt.
Naomi said she was crying tears of joy last week but now a week later, is full of sadness and frustration. She added that she knows giving up her title also means possibly giving up her ticket to appear at WrestleMania. Naomi ended the tearful segment by promising that everyone would feel the glow once she returned.
Daniel would then book a Women’s Title match between former SmackDown Women’s Champions Alexa Bliss and Becky Lynch to crown a new champion.
