Attention, Charlotte Flair.

If you're going to "sprint out" and save someone from a beatdown, then you actually need to...sprint out. In fairness, that's quite the task when wearing heels, but someone should've told Flair to rock some flats for her run-in. The whole thing looked a tad daft due to her footwear and lack of urgency.

Also, does the world really need to see Charlotte challenging IYO SKY one-on-one? It's coming regardless. WWE creative has a proper blind spot when it comes to Flair. Her character isn't likeable in the slightest, but she's been crammed awkwardly into this veteran hero slot.

Now, some are (perhaps rightly) concerned she'll beat IYO, win yet more gold and then rule the roost all over again. Flair and SKY collide next week. Fingers crossed Charlotte remembers to wear wrestling boots and not a flashy pair of heels for the occasion!
