At Roadblock last month, Charlotte and Natalya had a really good Divas Championship match. The result was never really in doubt, but that didn€™t stop fans from buying into the match and enjoying themselves. The two women paired up again Monday night, and they put on another solid title match, this time for the Women€™s Championship.

Again the outcome was never really in doubt €“ Charlotte would hold onto her title €“ and while the DQ ending was cheap (the ref looked at Charlotte and saw her tapping as he called for the bell), it still was an entertaining match. Probably one big highlight was when Nattie pulled out a German suplex and the crowd popped big time. The fans clearly have been conditioned by Brock Lesnar€™s suplex clinics the past couple years to view the German as a dangerous variety.

Ending aside, it was good to see the women€™s division get a strong title match that involved a different challenger. Hopefully we€™ll see things build up a little more in the coming weeks.
