2. Carmella's Doubt

WWE were trying to rally support for Dana Brooke by having Carmella doubt her backstage, but why? This constant portrayal of Dana as someone who collected three cereal packet tokens to win a berth on the roster is old, and it didn't make sense that 'Mella would suddenly view her as some hack incapable of winning two matches.

Last week, she was all in on the idea of them winning the Women's Tag-Team Titles from Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross. What changed? It's not like WWE are running house shows Brooke could lose on to give her new partner some reasonable suspicion that she might not be up to the job.

Way to support your bud, Carmella.

One fatal flaw with WWE storytelling is that they change character mindsets without any logical explanation as to why. Carmella went from believing she and Dana could take on the world to thinking Brooke is a total loser, and it sucked.
