Three times Naomi tried to hit this Hurricanrana over the top rope and Natalya still couldn't prevent it from happening.

Now I know I've never stepped foot in a ring before so me saying this is completely out of place, but surely when you have to attempt to complete a spot three times you might as well give up on it and move on? It looked terrible and certainly didn't fool the crowd who gave the pair of Superstars what for.

Frankly, it was a mess and for Naomi, tarnished what had been a jaw dropping performance up until that point.

From a Kayfabe standpoint, all Natalya had to do to prevent the move from happening was take a step back so the former Funkadactyl couln't reach her. Why didn't she?

It's almost as if it was supposed to happen so it would lead to another spot... it's almost as it wrestling is scripted...
