Carmella demanded it to be earlier after Bayley interrupted her interview on &#8220;A Moment of Bliss.&#8221; So the match was underway and at times, the crowd and everyone else in the arena almost saw a new champion, with Carmella having the chance of winning against her former best friend. She locked on the Code of Silence and Bayley seemed she was bound to tap, but she swung at the elbow to free herself. Ultimately, she used the ropes to get the advantage and pin Carmella to get the win.<\/p>\n<p>After the match, Bayley beat down Carmella before Naomi came down to stop it. They teamed to attack the champion, who would leave frustrated despite winning. She announced in the back that she will defend her championship at <em>WWE Super Showdown<\/em> in Saudi Arabia, marking the first-ever women&#8217;s championship match in history in the country. The challenger will be decided next week between Naomi and Carmella.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bayley vs. Carmella \u2013 SmackDown Women\u2019s Championship Match: SmackDown, Feb. 14, 2020\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7buQC4RebWM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Bray Wyatt Pulls nWo Entrance, Interrupts Hulk Hogan On Special Firefly Fun House<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-63014\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprowrestling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/02\/Wyatt-and-Hogan.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/02\/Wyatt-and-Hogan.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/02\/Wyatt-and-Hogan-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hulk Hogan<\/strong> joined us via satellite this week, as he was asked about <strong>Goldberg<\/strong>&#8216;s chances against &#8220;<strong>The Fiend<\/strong>.&#8221; He talked about the fact that he faced Goldberg in his prime (don&#8217;t know if that was his &#8220;prime&#8221; necessarily) and that &#8220;The Fiend&#8221; should be prepared to face the wrath. Then an old fashioned nWo interruption appeared, but it was the Firefly Fun House edition and <strong>Bray Wyatt<\/strong> even pulled out the entrance. What was most important to notice here was that Bray told Hogan there is room on the wall if he wanted to mess with &#8220;The Fiend.&#8221; Hogan left leading to a promise being made by Wyatt that he will see him later and Goldberg very soon.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bray Wyatt\u2019s antics creep out Hulk Hogan: SmackDown, Feb. 14, 2020\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JceS-g_fY0o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Dolph Ziggler Steals Otis&#8217;s Date With His Peach<\/strong><\/h3>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">You can actually pinpoint the second when <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/otiswwe?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@otiswwe<\/a>&#39;s heart rips in half!<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\udc94\ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\udc94\ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\udc94<\/p>\n<p>Way to go, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HEELZiggler?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@HEELZiggler<\/a>&#8230;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SmackDown?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#SmackDown<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/GCjRxJl4EX\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/GCjRxJl4EX<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; WWE (@WWE) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WWE\/status\/1228507443572989954?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">February 15, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>We all love Otis.

But, by the time Otis showed up he looked at the table and it was <strong>Dolph Ziggler<\/strong> who stole his spot and the date from Otis, leaving Otis and all of us heartbroken.
