Result: Charlotte makes Natalya tap to the Figure-8 to retain the title (10:35).

Rating: This was, in a word, bad. Lumberjack matches are always fundamentally silly but in this case it wasn't even particularly fun: the whole match felt sloppy and cobbled together on-the-fly.

The mid-match sleeper hold went on far too long, it didn't do anything interesting or fresh with the stipulation, and Natalya came out of it looking like a geek, cemented by her terrible post match cry-acting.

it was a boring match and worse still, far too long. It didn't help that Charlotte is a natural heel and WWE's insistence to push her as a face isn't at all believable, while Natalya's a totally cringe-worthy heel, so it was hard to be invested in anything happening. 4/10
