7 WWE Women's Feuds That Should Have Been Better

7. Paige Vs. Charlotte

This was ugly.

This feud could have turned the Divas Revolution around. However, a distasteful line from Paige which incorporated the real life tragedy of Reid Flair's death into the storyline left a bad taste in fans mouths. The matches themselves were average, neither woman really showcasing the best of their abilities. Charlotte's heel turn afterwards made her feud with Paige seem pointless, as a heel Paige was proven right and uncomfortably shifted back into being a babyface.

Fans were more interested in former NXT Women's Champion Sasha Banks, regularly interrupting Paige and Charlotte's matches with "We want Sasha!" chants. WWE, surprisingly, didn't listen to them, instead continuing to focus on this lackluster rivalry. Neither woman really showcased enough animosity, considering they were former friends and teammates. The line from Paige regarding Reid Flair's death was an uncomfortable attempt to draw heat. Ric Flair confessed to being unhappy with his son's death being incorporated into the storyline and WWE wisely deleted that line from all of the following promos.

The two former teammates, whose rivalry never really took off in NXT, should have been given more time to slowly develop their feud. It could have really sizzled had that been the case. Instead it felt like a cheap, lazy fill-in until WWE finally capitalised on Charlotte vs. Sasha.
