On tonight’s episode of Smackdown Live, Charlotte defeated current Smackdown Live Women’s Champion Naomi in a non-title match to become the #1 contender for the championship. Charlotte vs. Naomi for the Smackdown Live Women’s Championship will take place next Tuesday night.
As reported here on eWn, Jinder Mahal won the six-pack challenge to become the #1 contender for the WWE Championship at Backlash on May 25th. But, Jinder did not get the job done on his own as NXT Tag-Team, The Bollywood Boyz interfered to help Mahal secure the victory. The interference indicates that a possible stable between Mahal & The Bollywood Boyz may develop from this.
