10 Surprises WWE Could Pull At Backlash 2018
4. Charlotte Flair Regains The SmackDown Live Women's Championship
After losing the SmackDown Live Women's Championship to Carmella, Charlotte Flair has her rematch this Sunday. Charlotte was on top of the SmackDown women's division after she ended Asuka's undefeated streak at WrestleMania 34, but she was blindsided by the debuting Iiconics. This allowed Carmella to cash in her Money in the Bank contract.
Most people were left speechless when Charlotte was pinned on the post-WrestleMania episode of SmackDown Live. After she submitted Asuka, she seemed untouchable as she sat upon her throne. It's unlikely she would've lost the championship if she hadn't been attacked by Billie Kay and Peyton Royce beforehand.
It seemed odd that Charlotte could fend off Asuka but not Carmella. There's absolutely no way Carmella is walking out of Backlash unless she cheats or has outside help. It just doesn't seem plausible given how much she's been pushed to the top.
