Wrestling legend Dutch Mantell shared his thoughts on Bayley and Naomi both pinning Nia Jax at the same time this past Friday night on WWE SmackDown.
There was a lot on the line during the tag team match last Friday night. If either Bayley or Naomi lost, they would have had to leave the blue brand. However, if either of them had scored the pinfall or submission, they would have earned a title match against Nia Jax.
As a result of the controversial finish, The Role Model and The Glow will square off this Friday to determine the number one contender for the WWE Women's Championship. Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk show, Mantell commented on the double pinfall on SmackDown. The legend noted that he saw the finish coming, but had no idea what was going to happen next.
"I figured that it was going to be double pin somewhere and then we are gonna choose from that... Now they got another week to cover till we get a winner. That’s what wrestling is for. I don’t where they are going but they may surprise me. I hope they do." [From 01:00:00 to 01:00:21]

Tiffany Stratton is aligned with Nia Jax at the moment but could cash in her Money in the Bank contract for a title match at a time of her choosing. It will be interesting to see which star emerges victorious and earns a title shot against Jax this Friday night on SmackDown.
