Wrestling fans have spent most of this week talking about the #NaomiDeservesBetter hashtag, and even WWE Hall of Famer Booker T weighed in at one point. During last night's episode of SmackDown, that was addressed head on with an edition of Miz TV hosted by The Miz and John Morrison.
Naomi started by talking about the support she gets from fans, and that the main reason she keeps going is because of them. The Miz and Morrison also brought up how she went viral after missing out on a Royal Rumble win earlier this year, and pointed out how that only ever seems to happen when she loses. As you might expect, the tension between the hosts and their guests soon started building.
The former SmackDown Women's Champion noted that she's put in the work for years now, and that's why they support her. At this point, a heel Lacey Evans made her presence felt, and she proceeded to taunt Naomi for her loss last week before receiving a strike to the face. They brawl, and Evans is sent to the floor outside.
Evans throws a fit due to her makeup being ruined, and Naomi celebrates as this rivalry between the two women heats up.
Interestingly, both a backstage segment and this entire edition of Miz TV appeared to also tease some tension between The Miz and Morrison, so that might be well worth keeping an eye on.
