Charlotte definitely should not be losing the WWE Women's Title at this juncture, she's a deserving titleholder.

If WWE are serious about portraying the female division as important, it's vital that champions are given room to breathe and that title changes start to mean something.

That hasn't always been the case, certainly during the 'Diva' era.

There were misgivings about the way the ending was written, but few can complain with the end result of Charlotte vs. Natalya. At WrestleMania, Charlotte managed to overcome both Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks, and now she has beaten Natalya again.

Circumstances aside, it was the right choice. It's imperative that Sasha Banks has a strong champion to beat for her first Women's Title reign on the main roster.

By having Charlotte consistently resort to cheap tactics (using her father, paying off referees to help her), such a switch will only mean more when it inevitably happens.

Fans may have booed the 'screwjob' style ending mercilessly, but they can't be disheartened by the fact that WWE are showing faith in Charlotte.
