Natalya to face Charlotte at Payback

Last night on Raw saw Natalya, Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch and Paige take on the team of Charlotte, Naomi, Tamina and Summer Rae with Natalya making Charlotte tap out to the sharpshooter for the win. This was a good match as expected and everyone got time to show their skill. The crowd wasn't the liveliest during the bout but the women, Natalya in particular, got the crowd going at times. Everyone looked as good as each other in this match, including Summer Rae who has improved a lot recently.

I'm still struggling to understand why we are still only getting one women's match on Raw and Smackdown seeing as this is the era of women's wrestling  and the dawn of the Women's Wrestling Revolution. It would just make sense to have two women's matches on Raw and Smackdown to keep the division alive, with multiple feuds going on (and not just for the title), that could culminate at one of the coming pay-per-views.

However, at the moment it looks as if we are only going to have the Charlotte vs. Natalya feud for a while, with Natalya stating earlier on Raw that she will face Charlotte for the Women's Championship at Payback with Bret Hart at ring side. These ladies have proven time and time again that they have great skill and great chemistry when facing each other in the ring so we know that this match will be a good one. It was previously reported that WWE plans to have Natalya feud with Charlotte for the next two PPVs with Sasha Banks eventually winning the title at Summerslam. Although the matches will be great, the feud will become stale unless they switch a few things up. At the moment it looks like Charlotte will be the one to face Sasha Banks at Summerslam, finally ending her (already stale) reign and giving the fans what they want.

However, I think the best thing for everyone would be for Natalya to win the title at Payback. Even if she drops the title the next month at Extreme Rules, it will keep everyone interested and change things up. Charlotte has been the champion for way too long now, and Natalya deserves it and would carry the new Women's Championship well.

I hope WWE realize that keeping the belt on Charlotte all the way up until Summerslam isn't a great idea and is only going to disinterest people and hurt Charlotte, more than help her.
