10 Biggest WWE Creative Mistakes Of 2015

7. Having Charlotte Heavily Mimic Ric Flair

Thrilling fans with her performances on NXT, Charlotte was viewed as somebody who could make a positive impact on the main roster Divas division. That proved to be correct, because her in-ring work is vastly superior to many of the other women who had been seen on shows like Raw and Smackdown for years. Unfortunately, WWE have started to book her badly. Landing on the main roster during the Summer, Charlotte was cast as a babyface. That appears to be slowly changing at the months roll on. No longer is the WWE Divas Champion an overly-emotional, proud champion, she's now a conniving bitch. Of course, this is a go-to character for WWE whenever they run out of ideas for the women on the roster. It's true that Charlotte is the daughter of 'Nature Boy' Ric Flair, but that's something the company feel the need to remind people of constantly. Flair has started accompanying Charlotte to the ring a lot more over the past few months. Worse yet, Charlotte has started relying on old Flair spots and mannerisms, something which has struggled to appeal to fans. The whole thing comes across as pretty lazy, and isn't really over.
