8 HUGE WWE Clash Of Champions 2017 Predictions You Need To Know

Charlotte Natalya

Though she wasn't holding the gold when Charlotte Flair first arrived on SmackDown Live!, Natalya's inferiority complex revealed itself in the formation of a 'Welcoming Committee' designed to keep her as far away from the show's top spot as possible.

Her fears were realised when she eventually did liberate the belt from then-titleholder Naomi. Ahead of her planned Survivor Series Champion Vs Champion match against Alexa Bliss, Natalya was dethroned by Flair in a retelling of a tale as old as time between the pair.

Dating back to their legendary NXT Women's Title tournament finale, Charlotte has generally had the measure of her fellow second generation star when it really mattered, out-wrestling, out-fighting and even occasionally out-cheating the more experienced star.

The lumberjack stipulation as usual will be employed to potentially kick off brand new feuds coming out of the match for both Champion and Challenger, but the form book won't be thrown out in what should be their final battle for quite some time. As the best all-rounder on the women's roster, Charlotte belongs atop the tree over Christmas. Alas, like Hulk Hogan in 1993, she won't be able to use her belt as a decorative ornament this year...
