      A war of words on social media has led to a first-time-ever match between Naomi and Mandy Rose, as both competitors look to gain momentum heading into the Battle Royal at WWE Evolution this Sunday.

      It started when The Golden Goddess took to Twitter on Sunday to give her thoughts on the assortment of former champions who have thrown their hat into the over-the-top-rope fray at the first-ever all-women’s pay-per-view.
