5 reasons why Charlotte Flair needs to win the Women's championship on SmackDown Live this week

#3 The babyface-heel dynamic

Is anyone excited about this match, at all?

There has literally been no build for the big Survivor Series 'battle of the brands' match between Alexa Bliss and Natalya, thus far. While The Miz and Baron Corbin have been trading insults on social media and even taking shots on TV, Alexa Bliss and Natalya have only made passing references to one another, over the past few weeks.

It also makes no sense to book two heels against each other considering that the crowd will not know whom to root for.

If Charlotte Flair were to defeat Natalya and go into Survivor Series as the SmackDown Live women's champion, at least there would be a definite babyface and heel.

Who knows, really? One of the reasons for the lack of build between the two women could be the fact that Natalya vs. Alexa Bliss was never really meant to take place.
