This match did nothing for the future of the blue brand's women's division

A majority of fans knew going into the 2018 Backlash pay-per-view that the SmackDown Live Women's Championship bout was not going to be a classic match by any means, as Carmella does not have the in-ring capabilities to hang with a world-class performer such as Charlotte Flair.

However, while the match was what one would've expected, with Carmella doing her best to portray herself as a snarky heel and Charlotte trying to keep up with her shenanigans, it was a frustrating affair that didn't even produce one bright spot.

Therefore, many were expecting WWE to at least progress one of the narratives they excellently built on SmackDown Live last week, where Becky Lynch, Asuka, The IIconics were all given ample material to be used at this event.

However, none of those Superstars were even used to provide this uneventful match some cliffhanger that would've had fans interested in the future of the blue brand's women's division.

Whether it was an Asuka beatdown or Becky Lynch heel turn, WWE missed an opportunity to create intrigue around the SmackDown Live Women's Title scene, as Carmella's reign is proving to more disappointing than expected.
