5 Ups & 3 Downs From WWE SmackDown (21 Feb - Results & Review)

1. Charlotte Flair’s Guest Commentary

Time to repeat something.

Charlotte Flair is the more experienced wrestler in the upcoming 'Mania bout with Tiffany, and the onus is therefore firmly on her shoulders to sell it as must see. You would've thought Charlotte and Stratton were fighting on Main Event with the lack of energy to Flair's comments when sitting in on guest commentary for SmackDown. Seriously, did she need a nap or something?

This is WrestleMania season, for crying out loud. You just returned to win the women's Royal Rumble, and you've been pointing at the big neon sign like that's commission based. Charlotte, where was your fire and passion here?! She was a non-event when sitting next to Wade Barrett and Joe Tessitore. Flair said absolutely nothing of value, and outright failed to sell her title challenge with any kind of vigour.

People are kinda concerned for this match, and with good reason. If Charlotte is going to continue acting like a bored elitist who can't be bothered to hype things up, then fans will sit on their hands come Las Vegas. Right now, the only saving grace this 'Mania bout has is that Triple H might stick by the new star and give Stratton a career-boosting victory. It's up to Flair to sell the opposite - nobody else.

She was almost caught off guard by some of Wade's softball questions too, which was strange. Literally all Charlotte has to do is put Tiffany over as a new star worth beating, then do her usual 'I'm the measuring stick' stuff. Apparently, that's too much effort.
