1. The Charlotte Flair Vs. Lacey Evans Horror Show

"Mercifully, it's over," said a terse Jim Ross at the conclusion of That Jackie Gayda Match.

Throughout this match, Michael Cole told the audience, again and again, how amazing Lacey Evans was. This, despite some incredibly clumsy early brawling. Cole was hardly going to say "Listen f*ckhead, she's getting pushed beyond her level of experience because Kevin Dunn wants to bang her, what do you expect?", but there is a time and a place for the big sell and ideally, this isn't when Lacey...

...you know what, this is so difficult. It's difficult to even decipher what they were trying to do in there. Charlotte at one point appeared to position Lacey for a headlock hip toss, but Lacey, who hasn't been doing this long enough to know what she is doing, got spiked right on Charlotte's knee with her f*cking head.

There was so much rolling around that it resembled at various points a terribly-worked amateur wrestling match, the irony of which was impossible to escape. Lacey's positioning was so poor throughout - again, the irony - that Charlotte chopped her shoulders in the corner. She is a Flair, Lacey, get with it.

Unless you're on an aeroplane, if a Flair corners you, you are getting to get a chop across the chest.
