Charlotte begins to clash with Naomi

Since she unceremoniously beat the living crap out of Ronda Rousey at Survivor Series, Charlotte has certainly made it clear on television and on social media that a certain change has occurred within her. It looks like we’re heading right back into the good ole’ days of the Queen Heel Charlotte.

It should be expected that at TLC, there probably won’t be a match for the SmackDown Women’s Championship, as Becky Lynch’s face is, well, definitely still broken. It may also be safe to say that in her place, Charlotte will likely be representing the women of SmackDown for the time being.

So who is likely to feud with Charlotte in the weeks to come? I’d place my bet on Naomi. Naomi, aside from being a total fan-favorite, has definitely stepped up for the SmackDown women. Let us not forget how Naomi named herself the captain of Team SmackDown after Charlotte was taken out to face Ronda. If there’s anyone who’s going to call Charlotte on her crap, it’s got to be Naomi, right?

This week, Charlotte will probably have a match against Mandy Rose or Sonya Deville (or hey, maybe both Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville), and it will probably be a squash of sorts; it’s nothing against Mandy or Sonya, but WWE is still going to want to hammer home that Charlotte is becoming more and  more unhinged.

This unsportsmanlike side of Charlotte will likely not go over well with the leadership. Enter Naomi, the now de facto head of the women’s locker room. Naomi (and likely her ally Asuka) will run out from the back to stop Charlotte’s beatdown, not as a real challenge, but more as a “hey, what’re you doing?”

This event could lead to Charlotte coming back to attack Naomi in the weeks following, and we could potentially see it booked as the SmackDown women’s match at TLC.
