10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Charlotte Flair
2. The Championship Exchange
WWE wanted you to forget this nightmarish segment seconds after it concluded, but in the aftermath of the apparent healing of the rift between longtime friends-turned-foes Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch, it speaks to an even more torrid time for the performers and promotion alike.
When Adam Pierce forced The New Day and The Street Profits to switch their doubles titles so the straps matched the colour schemes of the show in 2020, both units looked like they were having the p*ss taken out of them as a way to try and claw back a modicum of credibility. It was substantially harder to do that in this live setting, but WWE - a pre-booked work! - insisted on this procedure instead of pre-booking title changes to avoid it.
Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch and Sonya Deville were all said to be fuming for a variety of reasons, with the latter two sick to the back teeth in particular of the problems they believed to have been caused by 'The Queen's unprofessionalism. But let's not pretend that a perfect version of this segment still wouldn't have been absolutely abysmal.
It's annoying just to think about. No wonder everybody having to perform it got so irate too. That Lynch and Flair made amends neutralises some of the hostilities on rewatch, but Triple H would do well to never arrange one of these again.
