In a video shared on social media last week, WWE star Bianca Belair, known as “The EST of WWE,” hinted at being joined by surprise VIP guests for the upcoming Bad Blood premium live event. On the final SmackDown before Saturday night’s Bad Blood, Jade Cargill spoke about returning to her hometown of Atlanta when her tag team partner, Belair, made the announcement that Naomi will be joining them as co-hosts of the event. This marks a reunion of the trio, six months after their victory in a six-woman tag team match at WrestleMania 40.
The Bad Blood event boasts five scheduled matches, including Nia Jax defending her WWE Women’s Championship against Bayley. Bayley earned the right to challenge after defeating Naomi, but their friendship remains strong despite the result. However, tensions linger between Belair and Bayley, with Belair still harboring resentment over Bayley’s actions as the former leader of Damage CTRL. Naomi continues to act as the glue holding the group together, ensuring their professional and personal relationships remain intact.
In preparation for her co-hosting duties, Naomi took on Tiffany Stratton in a match on SmackDown, securing a victory by rolling Stratton up for the win. Stratton, who holds a complicated alliance with Nia Jax and is also the current holder of the women’s Money in the Bank briefcase, is expected to have a significant role in the Bad Blood women’s title match, adding another layer of intrigue to the event.
As Naomi steps into her new role as co-host alongside Belair and Cargill, the WWE Universe eagerly awaits to see how the night unfolds, especially with so much at stake in the women’s division.
