Wrestle Review: TLC 2018

#6 A Hart runs Riott

Tables Match: Natalya vs. Ruby Riott/w Riott Squad (Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan)

For all its tastelessness and continuous need to insult the Harts at their lowest, WWE did the smart thing to not revert to type and give the veteran Natalya one hell of a showcase.

Though the use of Jim Neidhart (and his image on a table brought by the Riott Squad) is as horrible, the way the match pulled it off especially with Natalya using a Ruby Riott printed table is clever.

She also pulled off the quintessential Neidhart shades and coat for a boisterous crowd.

This has been a trying time for the Queen of Harts, also providing one of her best matches in a long time.

The credit cannot fall one way as Ruby Riott picked her spots with great heat generating for the crowd, she's a terrific worker who needs a push to the top.

At the same time, her band is just as ever improving with Liv really putting her body on the line for an epic spot while Sarah has shown the same. Some botches aside, these women deserve a bow.

It's hard to judge where Natalya goes next and WWE should wisen up and not have her turn on Rousey as rumored.

She should move on from the squad though, hopefully, a great moment at the Rumble is incoming not just for her but all four hard-working women.

A decent mid-card match such as this one is proof that the women's division on both shows is surely but slowly building into the best yet.

Result: Natalya pulls off a cathartic victory to smash Ruby through the table and win the match!
