WWE Backlash 2016: Reading Between the Lines of Each Match

Styles finally won the gold!
Six-Pack Challenge for the Smackdown Women’s Championship:
Lynch finally became Women’s Champion!

In an entertaining and spot-filled match (including a tower of doom and a Naomi springboard dive onto all five other competitors), Becky Lynch finally captured the Women’s title in an emotional win, with the crowd firmly behind her.

Although there were some troubling moments in the match, including Carmella’s lack of varied offence on Becky in the final stages and the repetitiveness of throwing others out of the ring, this was still a really solid match, with the right woman coming out on top.

Alexa Bliss shined with a couple of nice moves, Naomi’s athleticism was on full display, Natalya was showcased well and Carmella and Nikki Bella’s feud continued. All six women were highlighted throughout the bout, and being given the opening match on the show certainly helped proceedings, as did the ample time given for the match itself.

Overall, a great performance and a deserving title win for Lynch that has fans of hers (including me) extremely excited.
