Charlotte Flair defeated Natalya to retain her SmackDown Women’s Title at WWE Clash of Champions. On a night when every SmackDown title was on the line, The Queen was battling the entire SmackDown Women’s division in more ways than one. Carmella, Lana, Tamina and the entire Riott Squad — Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan — enforced on Natalya’s behalf during the frantic contest, while Charlotte could only count Naomi as an ally.
The Lumberjacks continued to pay dividends for Natalya despite the one-woman efforts of Naomi to protect Charlotte during one of the scrums on the outside. But eventually, The Queen of Harts’ security blanket turned against itself when Carmella attempted to cash in her Money in the Bank contract, only to be cut off by Ruby Riott, followed by a brawl among all the Lumberjacks.
While The Queen of Harts seemed primed to lock in the Sharpshooter, Charlotte booted Natalya in the face and instantly applied the agonizing Figure-Eight Leglock, forcing Natalya to submit. Chastising the WWE Universe for disrespecting her and not appreciating her “carrying” the division over the last decade, The Queen of Harts declared she was “turning her back” on the WWE Universe.
