The WWE SmackDown event showcased three intense first-round matches in the Queen of the Ring tournament. Nia Jax, Jade Cargill, and Bianca Belair emerged victorious on Friday night, edging closer to a coveted spot in the King and Queen of the Ring pay-per-view event in Saudi Arabia.
In the initial face-off, Nia Jax emerged triumphant over Naomi by executing a dominant An-Nia-lator move in a hard-fought battle. Jade Cargill, fresh from a Women’s Tag Team Championship victory, conquered Piper Niven with her unique move, leaving Niven feeling “Jaded.” Bianca Belair took on Candice LeRae, bravely fighting her opponent and a minor knee injury, ultimately prevailing with a powerful KOD finisher.
Unfortunately, the match between Michin and Tiffany Stratton had to be postponed until the upcoming house shows. In the next week’s SmackDown, fans can expect to witness Jax and Cargill facing off in the quarterfinals, while Belair will await the outcome of the Michin-Stratton match.
