10 WWE Stars Whose Stock Has Fallen The Most Since SummerSlam 2016

As bad as Becky Lynch has had it in 2017, please spare a thought for her pal Charlotte Flair. Over on Raw, Charlotte was the woman. Headlining Hell In A Cell alongside Sasha Banks and regularly in the spotlight on Raw in 2016, Flair's move to SmackDown has somehow made her less of a star this year. WWE need to take the blame for that.

Charlotte was on a roll as WWE's premier female heel. There was no need to turn her babyface, although (it must be said) moving her to SmackDown didn't seem like the worst idea at the time. Still, Flair has done next-to-nothing on the blue brand and isn't anywhere near the SummerSlam card. That's just rotten star management.

Whilst her old rival Sasha Banks faces Alexa Bliss for the Raw Women's Title, Charlotte will have to sit and watch Naomi struggle her way through a match with Natalya on the SmackDown side. WWE could solve her woes by booking a sudden heel turn, but it doesn't look likely. Apparently, happy-go-lucky Charlotte is preferable.
