8 Last Minute Changes That Could Save WWE Clash Of Champions 2017
6. Establish The Riott Squad
If WWE wasn’t going ahead with the unnecessary lumberjack match, it would free up the rest of the women’s roster to fill out what is looking like a flimsy card at best. Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan made their debut on SmackDown Live recently, and are still in need of establishment. Having the Riott Squad be a part of a predictable ringside brawl is not a way to succeed there.
The trio should absolutely be going up against Naomi, Carmella and Tamina in six-woman tag team action. The match almost writes itself - the newcomers need a big won but face a tough task against three vastly more experienced (in WWE terms) opponents. However, the trio are unlikely allies, each with a different agenda. They obviously won’t get a long.
The Riott Squad pick up the victory, Namoi and Tamina can start a little television program, and Carmella gets a match in before cashing-in on Charlotte later in the evening. This should be happening, but instead the six will be involved in a lame brawl before the aforementioned moonsault from The Nature Girl.
