#1 Contenders Match Set for Next Week's "Smackdown Live"

Where have I heard this before? As you probably know, the main event of the upcoming “Extreme Rules 2017” is a Fatal Five Way for the #1 contendership to the Universal Title. That’s on the “Monday Night Raw” show though and it wouldn’t be WWE if the other brand didn’t go with the same idea.

This week on “Smackdown Live” it was announced that Charlotte, Becky Lynch, Carmella, Natalya and Tamina would face off in another Fatal Five Way for the #1 contendership to Naomi’s Smackdown Women’s Title. The match will take place on next week’s show with the title match taking place at “Money in the Bank 2017”.

Opinion: I really don’t know what it says when you have two different brands having the exact same kind of match to determine a new #1 contender. There are probably a dozen ways to set up the same title match but for some reason this is what we’re getting. Oh and of course it’s followed by the (at least) six person Money in the Bank ladder match. Maybe they should freshen things up a bit? Just maybe?
