On November 1st, 2024 WWE aired the 1,315th episode of Smackdown live in Brooklyn New York inside Barclay Center.
Note: This review will be shorter then normal as it be the last few mins of the match.
-Kicking off this week’s Smackdown with Women’s Champion Nia Jax says there’s only one thing on her mind right now: the Women’s Crown Jewel Title. She says that she wants it and says that she usually gets everything she wants. She says she became Queen Of The Ring and the Women’s Champion like she wanted and she deals with anything that gets in her way. She says that same fate awaits Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan tomorrow night.
-Morgan’s music hits and she makes her way down alongside Raquel Rodriguez & Dominik Mysterio. She tells Jax that she isn’t special and says she retired Becky Lynch at SummerSlam to become the greatest Women’s Champion of all time thanks to the help of Mysterio. She says she’s held the Women’s World Title longer than Jax and reminds Jax that she defeated her the last time they were in the ring together.
-Miss Money In The Bank Tiffany Stratton’s music hits and she makes her way out. She says Morgan & Jax can argue all they want because she will be bringing her Women’s Money In The Bank briefcase to Crown Jewel to cash it in and become a champion.
-Jax brags to Morgan about how Stratton will cash in on her but Stratton reminds Jax that she can still cash in on her. She says she hasn’t decided who to cash in on yet then asks Morgan if she gets to take Mysterio should she cash in to dethrone her as Women’s World Champion. Morgan says Stratton already has enough dirty in her life but Stratton clocks her.
