#4 A repeat in the Women's Tag Team Title picture on SmackDown

Natalya faced Shayna Baszler on SmackDown this week. Although Baszler is one-half of the Women's Tag Team Champions, we can't help but notice that she is always used to taking the fall since WWE always wants to protect Nia Jax.

What we've also noticed is that the Women's Tag Team Title picture is usually busier on SmackDown - and that's where it will continue to get featured. Natalya pinned Shayna Baszler and Tamina, who was at ringside supporting her partner, hit a superkick on Nia Jax.

It was a statement that both women, despite losing at WrestleMania, are still in the mix for Tag Team gold. One would think that this would be the perfect time to pull the trigger on The Riott Squad - a fresh team that rarely gets TV time.

But instead, WWE once again chose to go with a repeat match from WrestleMania 37. It won't be a bad option if Natalya and Tamina end up getting the gold at WrestleMania Backlash. It would give a fresh start to the Women's Tag Team division.
