10 Wrestlers Without Direction For WWE SummerSlam 2017

A change of scenery (and heart) seemed the ideal reboot for Charlotte Flair after draining every last drop from her feuds with Sasha Banks and Bayley on Monday Night Raw, but since falling short at Money In The Bank, the best female all-rounder in the company as been placed on the back-burner at the expense of starkly inferior colleagues.

Early involvement in the existing division spawned the excellent 'Welcoming Committee' angle, but realignments since then have rendered those emotions moot.

Her vast superiority naturally means she can potentially rise again with very little creative effort, but it doesn't look like such a feat will be achieved in time for SummerSlam. As it stands, a tag team match with Becky Lynch against Lana and Tamina looks to be potential Kickoff fodder, but the babyfaces have even less steam than the heels in the event of such a combination.

Flair seems primed for a challenge at the SmackDown Women's Title again most likely should Carmella cash in, but until that point, such listless tag affairs may be the only option whilst her peers take turns in the top spot.
