15 Things That We Learned From Smackdown Live – May 2, 2017

9) ‘The Welcoming Committee’ Is The New Faction Name

On Smackdown Live last week, we saw Natalya, Carmella and Tamina interfere in the Women’s Championship match. It appeared as if there was a new faction brewing.

This week, WWE started to refer to the trio as ‘the Welcoming Committee’… It looks like that is really what they are calling the faction moving forward.

Interesting to see if this lasts long-term or if it is only for a few weeks. We will have to wait and see.

10) Charlotte Is Officially A Babyface

Speaking of ‘the Welcoming Committee’, they took out Charlotte Flair backstage before their tag team match on Smackdown. This left Naomi alone to face Carmella and Natalya in a handicap match.

Charlotte was able to return half-way through the match to a big pop. The way that she is being booked, it is clear that she has fully transitioned into a babyface.

No doubt in my mind that she has officially turned. Interested to see how it goes. Many fans prefer her as a heel but I will be giving her a chance.
