WWE have built the Women's Title bout nicely, and it now seems that Natalya almost holds the advantage over Charlotte. That's because the champion has been relying on her father, the 'Nature Boy' Ric Flair to aid victorious as of late, but a pre-match stipulation calls for the legend to be banned from ringside at Extreme Rules.

Therefore, Natalya arguably has a greater chance of winning than she did at either Roadblock or Payback (at least in the eyes of WWE's announce team). The match is finely poised, with only submissions guaranteeing victory for each wrestler. Charlotte has the Figure Eight, but Natalya has the trusty Sharpshooter.

The entire situation revolves around the lack of Flair at ringside, but that doesn't mean Charlotte won't win. She was picked as the 'first' WWE Women's Champion for a reason at WrestleMania, the company clearly see her as the supreme performer in the entire division right now.

Excelling as a heel, she could defeat Natalya cleanly then claim that she doesn't need her famous father to fight her battles. There's instant credibility there, even if there's also a chance Ric will somehow get involved behind the ref's back.
