What the fresh hell was that?

Carmella has no business carrying the SmackDown Women’s Championship. That’s not an opinion based on wrestling ability. It’s an observation after watching her “wrestle” and listen to a silent crowd ignore the entire match because she’s a black hole of entertainment.

Charlotte Flair basically had to wrestle herself, with most of Carmella’s “offense” coming after Charlotte messed up a move (in the context of the match). The Queen should have brought a broomstick to the ring, because like her father, she could have carried it to a better match.

On top of being a really bad, really dull, really heatless match, Carmella won. Seriously, what the fresh hell?
