Why is Beth getting another title shot?

[Cronant]

She lost twice clean, as the challenger both times. Upset or not, what does it matter if she FINALLY beats the girl she was supposed to have beaten the first time?

Why not let Nattie get the match?

[ohiofan1]

She got the pin on Kelly tonight, that is the only reason you need by Diva standards.

[Heartbreaker]

Beth should have won at Night Of Champions... even Summerslam but it's the WWE's typical "let's give somebody the title when all their heat has disappeared".

...Just give the belt to Beth please. No more robot barbie raising the belt with her fake emotionless face.

"]

Yeah, I don't know either, dude.

Nattie got pinned last week by Eve though. If we're going by kayfabe standards losing to someone who isn't the champion should knock you down further than losing to the champion themself.

If Beth wins this Sunday, she'll either have to keep facing Kelly or feud with Maryse, who's returning soon. Everyone else has already lost to her in the last month, some multiple times.

Or they'll do a split swerve and after Beth wins, Natalya attacks her, leading to Beth vs. Natalya.

...this has been your "Dream Match WWE Probably Won't Do" for the evening.

[That Mickie Fan]

Beth should win, and Then feud with Alicia or Eve

[SAJ Forth]

Beth will look like a joke if she loses.

That would be a fun match, just for the lack of heat it would have.

[rnrk supports BLM]

I imagine WWE considers Beth and Nattie equally superfluous, and figures Beth can put on better matches with Kelly, so they might as well keep using her.

This "feud", such as it is, seems to basically just be killing time until either Eve turns heel or Maryse returns.

[FailedGimmick]

She's dating CM Punk.

[Chainsaw]

So she can lose.

It was good enough for the United States Title

[Dean-o]

Remember, they can only push 1 face Diva and 1 heel Diva at a time. Everybody else is an afterthought.

[cabbageboy]

Yeah, this Kelly/Beth feud is a debacle. It's like WWE is in some sort of denial here. The entire premise of the women's division is that Beth and Natalya are dominant divas who are out to destroy everyone, yet all they have done since teaming is job out clean. All this jobbing they've done not only has wrecked their heat but is actively preventing this storyline from going where it obviously has to go (namely Phoenix winning the belt and then eventually a Natalya face turn).

[Celgress]

She can actually wrestle and she is hot, what other reasons do you need?

[FailedGimmick]

It's either going to be a case of "Third time's the charm" or possibly recreating the Evolution implosion with the big boss losing three straight PPVs, and then the lowly underling* wins the title in the first shot.

*Not how I feel about Natalya, but it's how she's been portrayed since the beginning of this story.

Kelly won those two matches because if she'd hadn't, Beth and Natalya would have beaten every babyface, some multiple times, in the span of only a couple weeks.
