You almost have to feel bad for Dana Brooke. She was called up to the main roster to partner with a resurgent Emma to continue their partnership from NXT, when Emma went down almost immediately with an injury. So instead, she was thrown into the role of WWE Womens Champion Charlottes protg.

The only problem is that Dana was barely ready for WWE, much less a central role like the champs second. Shes just as visible as Charlotte, so her mistakes are magnified. Shes looked out of place at multiple times, and (apologies for the appearance critique) she looks like a teen who discovered her mothers makeup kit and self-tanner and overdid everything.

But Monday, Dana screwed up the one big thing she had to do during the title match between Paige and Charlotte. She was supposed to put Charlottes foot on the rope after Paige hit a Ram-Paige, but she flubbed it badly and was forced to simply hold the champs foot against the rope for the ref to see it.

It looked as bad as it sounded. The ref had to act like he didnt think Dana moved Charlottes foot, then decided to toss her from ringside though it didnt matter since Charlotte won seconds later.
