5 Ups And 7 Downs From WWE TLC 2020

Ups...

5. On The Other Hand…

Charlotte Flair

So after bashing Charlotte Flair’s return, let’s offer the other side of the coin here.

Regardless of how she’s booked, Flair is one of the best wrestlers (not male or female, just wrestler, period) on the roster. She can be counted on to carry a solid match, has a commanding presence, and can elevate matches’ importance by her participation.

Having both her and Becky Lynch out of action for much of the year has definitely hampered a women’s division that was riding high at one point with the two of them, Asuka, Bayley, Sasha Banks and Ronda Rousey all wrestling. Removing three of them from that mix really diminished the division.

Flair could have interesting feuds with Asuka, Shayna Baszler, or even a renewed rivalry with Rhea Ripley if she gets called up. As frustrating as the booking might be sometimes, having her back should be a plus for Raw.
