3. WORST: Flair Is Dead

Paige and Charlotte were set to collide at Survivor Series 2015 after their uneasy friendship as PCB (Paige/Charlotte/Becky) came apart at the seams in the quest for the WWE Divas title.

The 'Divas Revolution' had tried (and mostly failed) to transplant almost all of NXT's fabulous work onto the main roster in one hamfisted smash. This lead to nine wrestlers split into teams of three despite the lack of any prior relationships between them other than The Bellas' kinship.

Gradually all three teams disbanded, but PCB were first to go after Paige turned on a tearful Charlotte, leading to a contract signing as the main event of the pay-per-view's go-home show.

Once again blubbing like a Flair, Charlotte spoke at length about life as a wrestler's daughter as well as mentioning her late brother Reid, who had tragically committed suicide two years earlier.

Paying tribute to him and suggesting she would fight 'as her family always had', Paige spat back with the retort 'your little baby brother didn't have much fight in him did he?'.

It was a tasteless response on the surface, let alone when reports emerged that the extended Flair family weren't given prior warning of the needless reminder of the 25-year-old's passing.
