This match was an instant classic. one of the most wanted match in divas division for a tittle race. two of the most talented divas faced against each other in WWE Roadblock. For Charlotte himself, he once against proved himself as the tough divas champion before she goes to WrestleMania. Defeated Natalya as one of the most talented diva was a legit. Defeated Natalya via rollup pin fall was a good scenario for WWE. at least it keeps the rivalry between Charlotte and Natalya remains on a surface. Charlotte keeps her path to WrestleMania remain on a balance, meanwhile Natalya still rebuilt her reputation after her long absence in WWE roster.

#5. Big Show, Kane and Ryback vs The Wyatt Family (Luke Harper, Eric Rowan and Braun Strowman) with Bray Wyatt

This is what happened when WWE had no idea about storyline for some of the big time players on ground. I still don't know exactly what was this match for.

I thought there would be some big plan in the end of the match, but we found nothing on it, the match was end and just like that. this match was Rated-below average.
