This one is going to need some time to digest, but the initial reaction after watching Dana Brooke seemingly join forces with Charlotte and Ric Flair was confusion.

Sure, Dana was in no (wo)mans land with Emma landing on the injured list a week after Brooke debuted, and she probably needed an experienced partner, but teaming her with the Womens Champion? It just feels forced right now, like they needed to stick her somewhere with a villain, and Charlotte fit the bill. Brooke is nowhere near ready to stake out on her own, so she could provide muscle for the biggest heel on the roster.

But is this a good fit? The initial vibe is no, but a more serious determination can be made after some interactions involving them. One thing though: Dana needs to never do the Flair strut again. That one is not negotiable.
