Even with Uncle Bret Hart in her corner (a thoroughly disinterested, potshot-taking Uncle Bret that pulls less punches than a UFC slugger), you know there's no chance of Natalya winning, right? Bret summed it up best in his podcast in which he ripped WrestleMania to shreds like a doberman with a down pillow, claiming that Natalya's only there to carry Charlotte to good matches. Not that a viewer needed to be told that, anyway.

At this point, it's best to 'fatten up' Charlotte for her eventual downfall, probably at the hands of Sasha Banks at SummerSlam in Brooklyn. Natalya seemed like an oddball choice for Charlotte's post-Mania opponent, but it makes plenty of sense if you're holding off on the big title switch. Naturally, Ric Flair will get involved in the finish, an ongoing pay-per-view tradition.
