Dana Brooke. Sarah Logan. Liv Morgan. Natalya. One of these things is not like the other.

No, it isn’t the lack of a last name. Nattie was the clear favorite to win this fatal four-way to secure a spot in the Money in the Bank ladder match on Monday night. The Riott Squad members haven’t done anything to distinguish themselves, while Brooke has been moonlighting as Titus Worldwide’s statistician.

Natalya, meanwhile, has an honest-to-God ongoing storyline as Ronda Rousey’s training partner, best friend and future enemy. She was always going to win this match. And while predictability isn’t a “down” by itself, it is a negative when your opponents are so blatantly there just to occupy space.

And to top it off, it wasn’t exactly a good match by conventional standards, just a bunch of moves with Nattie holding it all together.

He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
