Next week will determine the challenger for the SmackDown Women's Title at WrestleMania 35.
In a WWE exclusive following SmackDown, Kayla Braxton announced that Naomi, Carmella, Sonya Deville, and Mandy Rose will meet in a fatal four-way match next week on SmackDown Live. The winner of the bout will go on to face Asuka for the SmackDown Women's Title at WrestleMania 35.
Ignore the confusing tweet that makes it sound like there will be two separate matches next week. Braxton explicitly states it will be a fatal four-way match in the video attached to the tweet.
