#2 Will Naomi vs. Natalya make the main roster at Summerslam?

Why her?
Why her?

The women's elimination fatal five-way match felt like it was over before it began. They were given a decent amount of time, but the action was so fast paced, and all the eliminations came within a few minutes of each other, that most of the important action was far too condensed.

The only real one-on-one action we got was between Charlotte and Natalya at the end, which raises the questions as to why they couldn't have just put these two against each other in singles action in the first place.

A disappointing aspect of this match was that the whole Lana and Tamina narrative wasn't really explained. True, the two worked together throughout the majority of the match, but to no avail.

One assumes this is going to be a common feature of their partnership going forward, which is a bit of a shame considering the potential Tamina, and to a lesser extent Lana, has.

It's safe to say Natalya was a bit of a surprise victor here. They probably needed to go with a heel considering Naomi is the champion, but all things being equal, surely fans would have preferred to see Naomi take on Charlotte or Becky Lynch. Even Lana/Tamina would have been able to tell a decent story.

Natalya felt like she was there to make up the numbers, so her victory was unexpected, and not in a particularly good way. Naomi vs. Flair feels a lot more like a Summerslam title match than Naomi vs. Natalya - somebody who hasn't really been relevant for quite a while.

Maybe the WWE felt like a Charlotte victory would have been too predictable, but then again, just because something is predictable doesn't mean it's not the best option.
