SmackDown is a show which has a history of creating some of the best female wrestlers ever in the field of professional pro-wrestling. As a result, the Women's Championship is extremely prestigious and held in high esteem. It is considered at par with the Men's WWE Championship. Wrestlers who have held this title, have created an everlasting impression for themselves.
Carmella is the current champion. She defeated none other than Charlotte Flair, who is one of the toughest wrestlers in the entire WWE female roster. She cashed in her Money in the Bank contract and thus preyed upon a vulnerable champion.
Here are five such wrestlers who can give Carmella a tough competition and become the next SmackDown Women's Champion:
5. Billie Kay
Billie Kay recently joined the SmackDown brand. Previously, she was in NXT for almost three years and was one of the finest wrestlers in the Women's division. Ever since her debut in SmackDown, she has established herself as a heel. She is a member of 'IIconic' group and is doing an excellent by taking out her fellow wrestlers. She, along with Peyton Royce was highly pivotal in making Carmella the Champion. They attacked Charlotte which gave Carmella the opportunity to become the new Champion.
She will be competing against Lana in the Money in the Bank qualifier match. If she wins the contest and goes on to win the Contract, she too can cash it in and become the next Champion. With the help of Peyton Royce, the task doesn't seem impossible and she can very well be the next SmackDown Women's Champion.
4. Mandy Rose
Mandy Rose is another woman who joined the main roster post the NXT. She is also one of the best villains the women's division is currently having in WWE. Mandy along with Sonya Deville is a part of 'Absolution'. Ever since she joined the main roster, she has created a sense of paranoia among her fellow competitors. Rose has attacked several wrestlers and thus made it clear that she is not someone to mess with.
Mandy Rose has all the ingredients to become the next Women's Champion. Her speed, agility, and determination are unbelievable. She can topple any player and make crush them at her will. If she continues to keep up the momentum, she is definitely going to become a future Women's Champion in SmackDown.
3. Sonya Deville
Sonya Deville is also another ruthless brawler in the SmackDown Women's division. Deville is a former MMA fighter. She has loads of experience and various techniques at her disposal. She can muscle her opponents and can outsmart any other player. As a member of 'Absolution', Deville enjoys the backing of Mandy Rose. She is one of the best performers in SmackDown.
Deville can form outstanding rivalries, feuds and can create new story-lines. If she becomes a contender for the Championship it would be really enthralling. The way her career graph is progressing, she is bound to become a future SmackDown Women's Champion. We hope this hope turns into a reality soon.
2. Lana
Lana is one of the most controversial superstars in the WWE. She has been involved in various story-lines with Rusev. Though she gets a lot of spotlight for her husband, Lana's personal contribution has not been good enough in WWE. She has never been booked properly by the WWE management. Her talent and skill are not guided in the proper directions.
Lana has a lot of potential in her. Recently, there has been a change of fate for her. Now, she is made to compete in single's competition. She is gaining a lot of popularity for her wrestling as well as microphone skills. She is scheduled to face Billie Kay for the Money in the Bank qualifying match. She has the ability to win the contest and the contract and then become the new Women's Champion in SmackDown.
1. Asuka
Asuka is currently the best wrestler alive today in the field of women's professional pro-wrestling. She has won accolades all across the world for her wrestling performances. In Japan, she is the biggest superstar currently. Asuka is the winner of 2018 women’s Royal Rumble match. Within a short span of time, she has headlined WrestleMania.
At the Money in the Pay Per View she is scheduled to face the current Women’s Champion Carmella. Asuka is definitely entering the match as everyone’s favourite. She has maintained her undefeated streak for a long time in WWE. She is also a former Women’s Champion in NXT. Therefore, there is no doubt that she is going to become the next SmackDown Women’s Champion in WWE.
