MICAWRESTLING | The Riott Squad

On the November 21, 2017, episode of SmackDown, Riott made her debut, along with Sarah Logan and Liv Morgan, by attacking both Becky Lynch and Naomi. Later that night, they interrupted a match between SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair and Natalya and attacked both.

 A week later, the trio, now called the "Riott Squad", made their in–ring debuts for the brand, defeating Flair, Natalya, and Naomi in a six–woman tag team match. On January 28, 2018, at the Royal Rumble, Riott participated in the first women's Royal Rumble match, where she entered at number 15, lasting over 11 minutes before being eliminated by Nia Jax. In March, at Fastlane, Riott received a SmackDown Women's Championship match against Charlotte Flair, but was unsuccessful in capturing the title. Riott then made her Wrestlemania debút as she participated in the first WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal at WrestleMania 34, which was won by Naomi.
