Now, Big Time Becks continues to be the SmackDown Women’s Champion. But, are the fans happy about the result?
What was the payoff on this? Liv gets lost in the shuffle and Becky and Charlotte keep the title until WM. Even a count out win tonight for Liv would of been better but clean pin? This was the blowoff.

Considering this was the second opportunity, it’s possible Lynch may not agree to a third match. Usually, a rematch is in the books after a PPV, but it doesn’t seem like the case in this situation.
