Another MITB qualifier announced for WWE SmackDown
WWE has announced a third Money in the Bank qualifying match for Tuesday’s SmackDown.
Naomi vs. Sonya Deville was added to the lineup for the May 22nd episode today. Deville was involved in a triple threat qualifier this week where Mandy Rose tapped out to an armbar from Becky Lynch.
To set up the match, Deville tweeted to Paige and pointed out that she wasn’t the person who submitted against Lynch. Paige then responded by announcing that Deville will be facing Naomi: “Ohhhh the sass on ya, @SonyaDevilleWWE, they grow up so fast…OK, you get your #MITB qualifying match this Tuesday on #SDLive against…@NaomiWWE. Let’s see if you can stand on your two feet, sweetheart.”
Samoa Joe vs. Big Cass and Billie Kay vs. Lana are the other two qualifiers that are scheduled for Tuesday. There will also be a Miz TV segment with Big E, Kofi Kingston, and Xavier Woods as part of a storyline where Miz is trying to find out which New Day member they’ll select to be in the men’s ladder match. And WWE should follow up on Shinsuke Nakamura defeating AJ Styles for the right to choose the stipulation for their Money in the Bank title bout.
