Who else failed to see Natalya's win at Battleground coming? It seemed like Charlotte Flair was a stick on for the win, but she found herself staring at the lights and on the losing end of the Fatal-5-Way. Now, Natalya will go on to SummerSlam and challenge Naomi for the SmackDown Women's Title.

WWE may well choose to add the likes of Charlotte and Becky Lynch into the match, but they shouldn't. Why not, you ask? Well, constant multi-woman matches will only harm the female division. It's about time the brand focused on a one-on-one feud again. Besides, Natalya is ideal as heel fodder for Naomi.

Natalya will provide a solid match every time, and that will be the case yet again in Brooklyn come SummerSlam. Should Naomi beat her, the reigning champ is then in the perfect position to roll on and work solo against Charlotte or Becky, should one of those turn heel.
