10 Booking Steps For WWE Raw (Dec. 26)
3. Charlotte Claims Bayley Didn't Beat Her Last Week
Elsewhere in the female ranks, Raw Women's Champion Charlotte looks set for a lengthy rivalry opposite Bayley. It was about time that Charlotte moved on from Sasha Banks, as another bout between the pair at the Royal Rumble would have been overkill for their feud. Bayley represents a nice change.
There's history there to exploit too, something WWE can use throughout the rivalry. On last week's show, Bayley managed to defeat the reigning champion, although it appeared Charlotte was able to get her shoulder off the mat before the three count. Therefore, she has a legitimate gripe about that particular loss.
The announcers were a little heavy-handed regarding this last week, and it almost seemed like Flair was the wronged babyface at times. Charlotte is the one who needs to moan about being the victim, not the commentary team.
Outright, she tells Bayley that the hugging babyface will never beat her. Challenged again, Charlotte claims she doesn't have time to play with little girls and leaves the ring. It's smart not to give Charlotte vs. Bayley away time and time again on Raw.
