10 Worst WWE Matches Of 2019

10. Charlotte Flair Vs. Lacey Evans - RAW, June 3

To put on an effective and engaging 'grapplef*ck' match, both participants must be expert technicians.

The work must be intricate and authentic. The transitions must be fluid enough to sustain interest, but masked with sufficient struggle to put it over as a battle, and not a d*ck-waving exhibition.

Charlotte Flair Vs. Lacey Evans certainly was a struggle, but *Rainier Wolfcastle voice* it wasn't meant to be a grapplef*ck match.

If you mourned the absence of backstage cameras at All Out, and missed Bea Priestley Vs. Sadie Gibbs, you're in luck: this was so poorly worked that it looked more like a furious, blurry backstage skirmish than a pro wrestling match. They brawled clumsily by the ropes for an eternity; Flair had to audibly tell Lacey to "move", because if she hadn't, the Sassy Southern Belle would have absorbed a punch plush in the face. This was a total mess of entangled limbs. A brawl erupted after Lacey returned to the ring - Flair had ejected her, shoot pissed off - but an attempt at some chain wrestling clogged like a bike in the rain. For the second time in as many minutes, Charlotte instructed Lacey to get out of her ring. Somehow, despite spending almost all of the match by the ropes, she couldn't even do that.

She couldn't even position herself to receive a Flair chop. Where does Charlotte usually aim a move her father has done since the '70s? Oh yes, the shoulder, that's right.
