We get that Charlotte is a heel these days, but it would've been nice to see her sell what happened to her father on Raw. Batista's attack, and the hints that Ric would be hospitalised as the show went off the air, were dramatic and ruined his 70th birthday celebrations.

His darling little girl couldn't have cared less.

Charlotte neglected to reference what had happened to the 'Nature Boy' in her promo, and it took Tom Phillips briefly mentioning Ric's health scare for the Raw cliffhanger to even get a look in on SmackDown.
