#5 Charlotte needs company

Charlotte "The Queen" Flair

The current champion Charlotte Flair is the only face character in the Smackdown Live locker room, and a feud with the Riott Squad repeatedly taking her out doesn't seem to be too lucrative.

If Charlotte alone proves to be competition for the new trio, the Riott Squad will lose a lot of credibility before even getting over. We need more face characters to go against the upcoming trio.

Carmella can't turn face due to her MITB situation. Though the MITB contract hasn't been talked about much over the last few weeks, a surprise cash-in is always on the horizon and she has to be a heel for that.

Tamina is currently lower down the card. She can possibly turn face, but that leads to an awkward position for Lana, who is an excellent heel. Maybe the Riott Squad beat up a helpless Lana, leading to the duo of Tamina and Lana turning face.

The far better possibility is to turn Natalya into a face. The story going in could be that even though Natalya and Charlotte do not like each other, they are going to put their differences aside and defend the locker room against the Riott Squad.

Either way, we are going to need more bodies to make a feud with the Riott Squad work. It'll be an interesting development to see how the WWE writers tackle this scenario.

Who do you think should team up with Charlotte Flair to take on the Riott Squad? Tell us in the comments below.
