5 things that shouldn't have happened at WWE Backlash

#4 Carmella winning clean

In the match for the Women's Title, on one side we had Carmella who played the cowardly heel champion and was pretty much lost in the shuffle until she cashed in her MITB contract on the SmackDown after WrestleMania, and on the other end was Charlotte who had beaten Asuka's streak at WrestleMania 34 and retained her Women's Title.

The fact that Carmella won the title after Charlotte was ambushed by the IIconics must also not be forgotten.

When one considers the above facts, it is really hard to believe that someone of Charlotte's caliber would lose to Carmella clean.

Yes, there was an instance that showed Charlotte clenching her knee after she missed the moonsault, but Carmella easily rolling her up for the win could have been avoided.

The Queen gave us all a stellar performance almost a month back when she faced Asuka at WrestleMania. She dug deep down and gave us a match worth remembering. And now, what looks like a sprained knee proved too much for Charlotte.

The IIconics could have easily proved to be the difference makers in his match and should have provided the distraction for Carmella to again come out victorious against Charlotte.
