#3 Naomi def. Natalya

Na
Naomi capped a great WrestleMania week with another win

Segment: A backstage interview with Naomi was cut short by Natalya, who said her rival’s Battle Royal win at WrestleMania was “the disappointment of the night”. It looked like Natalya might win the resulting match after an impressive powerbomb, but Naomi kicked out and went on to defeat “The Queen of Hearts” with a split-legged moonsault.

Verdict: While Natalya’s character can be very uninteresting at times, it’s no exaggeration to say she’s been producing some of the best matches of her career lately, especially whenever she meets Charlotte Flair, and this was another really good match. Previous Battle Royal winners have notoriously been booked horribly after WrestleMania, but this was a decent enough start to life with the trophy for Naomi.

Grade: B+
