10 Things We Learned From WWE SmackDown In The UK (May 9)
1. All-In
The six-man tag main event brought together three unlikely babyface allies in a quest to diminish their individual Backlash opponents. In an increasingly tense SmackDown women's division, the fan favourites were made to tersely park their differences in order to crack the solidified unit of the Welcoming Committee.
Picking up another victory for the group, Natalya defeated Becky Lynch after Charlotte and Women's Champion Naomi failed to work as cohesively as their heel counterparts running outside interference.
Charlotte's efforts to remove Naomi from the action at risk of disqualification distracted Lynch long enough for the Hart alumna to score the win, but the 'Irish Lass Kicker' galvanised the squabbling trio in a follow-up segment to set the table for the Backlash clash.
It was yet another wonderfully simple bit of wrestling storytelling to get the talented sextuplet to the next chapter of the tale, before likely allowing a host of individual spinoffs that should furnish the division with matches for months to come and usefully delay an inevitable super-clash between Flair and Lynch.
Not only a great angle by it's own merits, the angle stands in terrific contrast to Monday Night Raw's woeful mishandling of the title and division at large.
