#8 Carmella Retains the SmackDown Women's Championship
Carmella became the new SmackDown Women's Champion on the post WrestleMania episode of SmackDown Live. She cashed in her money in the bank contract on Charlotte to win her maiden women's title.
Charlotte created history when she ended Asuka's undefeated streak at WrestleMania 34. But her celebrations didn't last too long as she lost her title on the following episode of SmackDown Live.
Charlotte was attacked by the new NXT call-ups Billie Kay and Peyton Royce. "The IIconics" laid waste to the queen and left her lying in the ring. Carmella would take advantage and cash in her contract to emerge as the brand new champion.
It seems the IIconics will be playing a vital role on SmackDown Live going forward. So expect them to interfere in the match and cost Charlotte the championship.
