Real-life Bloodline member to turn heel and betray 7-time champion following huge loss? Exploring potential WWE SmackDown twist
The upcoming edition of SmackDown will see a major progression in the feuds and storylines for Bad Blood as the spectacle is around the corner. However, it could also see a shocking betrayal from a real-life Bloodline member, which could leave the arena in somber silence. The star in question is Naomi, who has been a prominent part of the Samoan family as the wife of Jimmy Uso.
The 36-year-old will compete with Bayley in a huge tag team match against Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton this week. Both have a golden opportunity to earn a shot at the WWE Women's Championship at Bad Blood, as whoever pins Jax or Stratton will be the Number One Contender. However, the superstar to be pinned will have to leave SmackDown.
Therefore, the desire for the gold could pit the two best friends against each other during the match. Bayley and Naomi could be involved in an argument amid the tag team bout due to a conflict of interests, which could lead to The Role Model getting pinned from behind. As a result, frustrations could boil up, and The Glow could turn her back on the seven-time champion.
With her being a prominent member of the Samoan Bloodline, Naomi could follow Solo Sikoa and tread on the same path of betrayal. She could unleash a merciless assault on Bayley after the match if she could not get a shot at the WWE Women's Championship. As a result, this will allow WWE to write her off television for a while before making The Role Model return on RAW.
However, the abovementioned scenario is speculation at this point. It will be interesting to see whether Naomi will betray Bayley on SmackDown this week.
WWE may have made Naomi's heel turn inevitable on SmackDown
As noted, Naomi is set to compete in a high-stakes tag team match on the upcoming edition of SmackDown as she teams up with Bayley to battle Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton. Regardless of the outcome, her heel turn seems inevitable. The Role Model is currently the favorite to challenge Jax at Bad Blood.
If Bayley wins the match and gets a shot at the WWE Women's Championship, a bitter sense of anguish could brew within Naomi. A victory for the former Damage CTRL member would squander The Glow's championship aspirations and become a roadblock in her path to the world title.
Therefore, she could eventually turn her back on Bayley if the latter wins the match. However, a similar situation could also arise if Naomi eats the pinfall in the upcoming tag team match and has to leave SmackDown as per the stipulation. This will eventually serve as the catalyst for her potential heel turn.
The real-life Bloodline member could unleash a vicious attack on The Role Model, pouring her frustrations on the latter for her potential defeat. Hence, Naomi's heel turn seems inevitable in either case on SmackDown.
