The ladies of SmackDown went from the pre-show to the co-main event at WrestleMania 33!
Okay, not really. The Six-Pack challenge where Alexa Bliss would defend against Mickie James, Becky Lynch, Naomi, Carmella and Natalya was in the spot between the biggest matches on the card, right after Brock Lesnar defeated Goldberg for the Universal title, and before Roman Reigns and Undertaker’s “Battle of the Yard”. But fans didn’t want it on the Kickoff, and this was very much not the Kickoff.
After a nice hometown pop for Naomi from the global-but-still-in-Orlando crowd, the pace was frenetic at the start. Becky got a nice showcase, kicking her rival Mickie from the apron and almost taking out Carmella before James Ellsworth grabbed her leg. Lynch repayed him for that with a suplex later.

After that, Natty & Naomi had a cool spot with Carm, where the Queen of Harts placed both the other women in a Sharpshooter, but that was broken up by Becky and Mickie.
It was a submission which eventually ended it, when Naomi found herself alone with the woman who took the belt after she was forced to relinquish it due to injury. With everyone else wiped out by a plancha to the outside, Alexa was forced to tap, and WrestleMania was feeling the glow for the two-time champ!
