#4. Natalya's victory paved the way for Xia Li's return on WWE SmackDown

The match between Aliyah and Natalya on WWE SmackDown was slated to be a "Dungeon Style" contest. However, it turned out to be nothing more than a traditional one-on-one match between the two superstars.

The Queen of Harts attacked Aliyah early again and punished her. Aliyah fought back with some good moves that kept her in the competition.

Aliyah's resistance did not last long as Natalya locked her in the Sharpshooter. Even though Aliyah made it to the ropes, the match's stipulations stated the match could only be won via pinfall or submission. She had no option but to tap out and award the win to The Queen of Harts.

Natalya beat down the babyface following the contest. Xia Li made the save, fending off the heel and standing tall.

WWE failed to push Li to the top after she made an impressive debut. She's made her way to SmackDown to fight off bullies, and a long rivalry against Natalya could help her get to the top quickly.
