Nia Jax Becomes Number One Contender For WWE Women's Title On WWE SmackDown

Nia Jax has earned her next shot at Tiffany Stratton, but she owes Naomi an assist credit for her unprovoked interference and distraction.

Nia Jax defeated Jade Cargill on the May 9 episode of WWE SmackDown to earn the number one contendership and the right to be the next person to challenge Tiffany Stratton for the WWE Women's Championship. However, Cargill controls the match until Naomi, Jade's rival, attacks Stratton, who is watching the match at the ringside.

That distracted Jade enough for Jax to get her into position for the AnNiaihilator, scoring the victory.

The date for the championship match has not been decided.
