WWE Raw Review: 9 Big Talking Points (Jan 11)

2. Brie Bella vs. Charlotte (w/Ric Flair)

I'm totally confused, are the Bellas supposed to be heels or babyfaces? One week they are screwing people out of matches and making fun of Becky Lynch and the next week they are wrestling heel Charlotte. Note to WWE: It actually helps get talent over if you know who to cheer for during the match. Instead of the match though, Becky Lynch attacks Charlotte during her entrance and beats the crap out of her. The crowd actually responds pretty well to this too but Ric Flair does not. Flair proclaims that Charlotte can't wrestle tonight because of the attack and directs Charles Robinson to get his coat for him. I'd love to hear a few more Flair heel promos before they hopefully phase him out and allow Charlotte to stand on her own. Even though the match didn't happen, there was plenty of good to be found in this segment. Becky Lynch actually seemed over with the crowd and a match at the Rumble against Charlotte should be pretty good. The other good thing was that we were spared from having to watch Brie Bella wrestle. Seriously, how can you be with a company for nearly 10 years and be married to a great worker and still absolutely suck in the ring? You would think Brie would accidentally learn a few things while participating in this whole "wrestling" thing for the last decade. I don't watch Total Divas so I have absolutely no idea what "Brie Mode" is either and yet there it is on her entrance video. In short, I don't like Brie Bella.
