On the August 8 episode of ''SmackDown'', Carmella defeated Naomi in a non-title match thanks to help from her manager [[Josiah Ediger (wrestler)|James Ellsworth]], who had just returned from his 30-day suspension. Later backstage, Natalya warned Carmella and Ellsworth to not interfere with her SummerSlam match against Naomi. Carmella told Natalya that she hopes that she wins at SummerSlam so that she can cash in her Money in the Bank briefcase on her and win the SmackDown Women's Championship. The following week, Naomi was on commentary for a match between Natalya and Lynch. After the match, Natalya continued to attack Lynch and Naomi came for the save, but Natalya retreated. Carmella then came out and wished both Naomi and Natalya luck at SummerSlam. Ellsworth then said that whoever wins would also lose, pointing at Carmella's Money in the Bank briefcase. |
