5. Does Anyone Care?

It’s really sad to say this, but Natalya’s 30-second backstage segment was 30 seconds that could have been axed without a second thought.

You’d think that WWE would be applauded for at least giving the long-tenured superstar follow-up to her recent string of losses, but the truth is that she has been barely portrayed as little more than a jobber to the stars recently with no personality or character, so her “acting” and lamenting that she doesn’t know “how to be me anymore” was just awful.

It really is a shame, because Nattie is probably the type who is really well-respected and loved backstage, but her character generates zero response. Her existential crisis was met with a shrug by both Byron Saxton and fans alike, and that’s just terrible.
