WWE Roadblock: Every Match Ranked From Worst To Best

3. Divas Title: Charlotte (c) vs. Natalya

Result: After Ric makes the distraction, Charlotte uses the ropes to pin Natalya and retain the title (13:37). Rating: It was great to see Natalya getting used correctly even if it was painfully obvious she wouldn't be going home with the strap. The match gave the pair ample opportunity to exchange a flurry of intense submissions (Nattie's Surfboard was especially awesome) and basically turn in a solid technical bout full of decent ring psychology and mostly free of Ric Flair's interference and lazy heel booking. Even though the outcome was never in doubt, the match was given sufficient time to play out and ensure that, at least in an ideal world, Nattie could be a viable title contender in the future (considering her only reign to date ended over 5 years ago). Shame about the cheap ending, but then that's Charlotte's shtick right now, and it will make her inevitable defeat (probably at WrestleMania) all the more satisfying. The crowd were white hot for the Sharpshooter near-win, and hopefully creative will remember that it wasn't just because the show was in Canada. 7/10
