6. Oh So Predictable
When Divas Champion Charlotte came out for a match and Raw broke for commercial before her opponent was introduced, how many immediately knew it would be Alicia Fox? If anyone said no, then they havent been following womens wrestling in WWE at all. When you have a title match against one member of a faction, you beat the other member cleanly before the PPV. Its just common sense when it comes to WWE logic. Fox is still a member of Team Bella (really the only team left standing, unless Naomi and Tamina are still palling around), and since Brie Bella has a Divas Championship match at Fastlane, Charlotte needed a tune-up against Alicia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwTbBl263Xg It isnt that that is bad (or that the match was bad, as it was fine for what it was), but when everyone can predict matches just based on typical WWE booking patterns, that should tell the company that it has become far too predictable and unimaginative.
