Last week, Charlotte Flair took a dig at Carmella's Money In The Bank win and eventual title cash in by pointing out the part James Ellsworth (a "chinless freak") played in her success. This week, the reigning champ decided to ignore Flair's jibe and show the same highlight reel package that made it look like she did everything by herself.

That's a subtly superb heel move.

Although Byron Saxton did actually mention the fact that Charlotte's music interrupted Carmella's "skewed history" on commentary, he sort of mumbled his way through the line. Unless viewers were concentrating hard, they would have missed this important plot point altogether, and that's a shame when it puts over Carmella's self-centred personality.
