Charlotte Flair could of course carry the Money In The Bank briefcase with dignity and respect and Charlotte Flair could of course win either major women's title after the fact...but didn't the Royal Rumble 2000-to-WrestleMania 36 stretch highlight the problem with that specific way of booking her now?

After all the years a sizeable chunk of the audience gave her shoddy treatment for being a the favoured project of Vince McMahon, it seems as though the cold reality of that simmering resentment has been realised by the fanbase at large.

What the company got away with in 2019 ahead of WrestleMania 35's main event, they can do no longer - Flair was once considered the Ace of a division that never seemed to settle on who it was pushing, but those in-ring glory days have been missing for too long, and others have surpassed her in several key areas.

For the longest time, her persistent elevated status was simpatico with her gimmick. At this point, Money In The Bank would just be another chance she'd almost definitely receive without a magic briefcase.
