10 Questions from WWE Backlash 2017 that most need answering

#5 Should Natalya get a title shot now?

Next in line?

It was pleasing to see the Welcoming Committee get the win last night. The WWE have been far too guilty of building up a heel faction only to have them fall at the first hurdle. Their victory gave me hope that this storyline will continue, which is what the division needs.

Raw is certainly leading the way with its tag-team picture at the moment, but SmackDown still has the edge when it comes to the women. There is more depth on the blue brand right now, and the storylines are layered in such a way that you don’t always know whats coming next.

One thing SmackDown cannot afford to do, however, is deny Natalya, or anyone else on the Welcoming Committee a chance to fight for the title. Otherwise, this just comes across as something for Naomi and Charlotte to do until they have their one-on-one match at some point next month.

The concept of the Welcoming Committee is one of those heel stories that actually makes sense. In kayfabe terms, the women of the division were going to be upset that Charlotte was parachuted into the title picture straight away. If getting the win against her team at the first time of asking doesn’t lead to a championship match for TWC, what was the point?

As a side note, it was great to see somebody tap out to the sharpshooter. That finisher needs way more protection than it currently gets.
