Will Charlotte become the first woman to be both Raw and SmackDown Women’s Champion?Raw
failed to whet our appetite for Payback, this Sunday. Considering that a
few SmackDown LIVE superstars will also be a part of the pay-per-view,
we hope they do a better job of creating excitement for the show.
SmackDown
comes to us from the Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, and from what we
know about the show, it already seems packed with interesting segments.
On paper, it does look like a better show than Raw. However, without
jumping the gun, we present some possibilities, ask some questions and
explore the landscape of SmackDown LIVE.
#5 Will Naomi feel the blow?
Will it be the last night of Naomi’s reign?
With
all due respect to Naomi, who’s a fantastic athlete and an absolutely
stellar character, she is still not Charlotte Flair. With Alexa Bliss
moving to Raw, we’re confident that Charlotte Flair will be the nucleus
around whom the Women’s Division on SmackDown will revolve. Does her
reign begin already, immediately after the Superstar Shake-Up? Or will
there be interference during the Championship match, thanks to the three
woman (and one man alliance) of Carmella, Natalya and Tamina Snuka
(with James Ellsworth)?
What’s
certain for now is that whatever the outcome, Charlotte Flair really
needs to look strong. Naomi definitely won’t be pinning her clean this
week. What will be really interesting are the dynamics in the women’s
division if the title were to change hands. Will Charlotte continue
feuding with Naomi or start a new program with Becky Lynch, considering
these are the only two babyfaces in the division?! Since the heel stable
led by Nattie has targeted Charlotte, is she playing a babyface now?
