8 Ups And 4 Downs From WWE NXT Takeover: Unstoppable
3. Charlotte Spinning Her Wheels
If theres a candidate for someone who is long overdue for a call-up to the main roster, its Charlotte. The daughter of Ric Flair is now three months removed from losing her NXT Womens Championship, which she held for nine months. Wednesday night, she participated in a tag team match with Bayley, defeating Dana Brooke and Emma. Prior to that, she lost a triple threat No. 1 contenders match. At this point, Charlotte has done it all in NXT. Shes grown by leaps and bounds as an in-ring performer and is just freakishly athletic. The fact that she hasnt been brought up is strange, considering that she lost her title in February. Typically, the pattern has been that when someone loses their NXT title, they are WWE-bound (think Bo Dallas, the Ascension and the Lucha Dragons). Keeping Charlotte in NXT isnt helping her, and no one believes that WWE creative cant figure out what to do with the Nature Girl.
