7 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (March 10)
7. Charlotte Is 16-1...
...and her first loss didn't take place at WrestleMania.
All things considered, the state of the RAW Women's division is an absolute disgrace. Nia Jax has spent aeons squashing jobbers in filler segments on RAW, but as has been made abundantly clear, she is not ready for a feature match at the biggest show of the year. Her involvement at WrestleMania has been sh*tcanned, wasting a good half year in the process. Another experiment, Emmalina, died a death in rehearsals. Much like Jax herself, Dana Brooke was promoted to the main roster prematurely.
Even the stars with talent and an established bond with fans have struggled. Sasha Banks was a bust in the face role; disingenuous, manufactured. She was replaced by Bayley in the title picture by early 2017, possibly the most genuinely likeable and natural babyface in the entire company. The RAW creative team has contrived to render her unlikeable. In the storyline, she is an undeserving champion, one who practically revels in her cheating with cloying, immature glee. Is Of Mice And Men's Lenny scripting RAW? The approach is so heavy-handed. Bayley was once appealing to a child. She now is a child. At this rate, if the company does end up hiring Kenny "The Cleaner" Omega in 2018, he'll be repackaged as the Fake Duke Droese.
Only Charlotte, with the intriguing hook of her pay-per-view winning streak, has flourished - and WWE still managed to p*ss that away by ending it at Fastlane. There are now zero stakes to the upcoming Triple Threat match at 'Mania, bar what is now a massively devalued title. Everybody loses it at some point or another, even Charlotte on pay-per-view.
So who cares?
