Tag Title Match is next!
Actually, I feel Carmella was the right choice here. Charlotte doesn't need yet another first in the Women's Division. We all know Charlotte is probably going to end her career with ungodly amounts of title reigns and she doesn't need the MITB. Carmella, on the other hand, is just catching her footing as a heel and usually the MITB is perfect for blossoming heels. She tends to be a bit of a chicken shit heel and it works perfectly for her especially her teased cash-in later that night.
Agreed, the most important thing is that a heel wins MITB as it adds an extra bit of flair (no pun) to the chicken-shit short-cut heel vibe.
Ellesworth really found his place as the ultimate despicable heel! Love it.
