Charlotte isn't here mostly due to her being a heel. She's here because Ronda sucks at promos, she's here because Ronda has a story with the both of them and she's here because Charlotte Flair's the best overall woman talent on the roster right now. It's bigger than who's a heel and who's a face .You're saying it doesn't matter but it matters enough to put her in the match. I mean, Ronda sucks. Charlotte had to step in because Ronda sucks that much. This. Plus the actual Ronda/Becky ‘brawling’ looked kinda clunky. I’m not sure if it’s just Becky being rusty, but she didn’t really sell the judo throws well. Charlotte repeatedly almost stepping in also nicely paralleled her recent social media, where she tries to stay out of Becky/Ronda’s beef but will take advantage of it if needed. I've been looking for a particular gif that has Johnny Cage from Mortal Kombat X punching back and forth and that's exactly how Ronda's punches looked, it looks gamey, just bad. Also yeah Becky wasn't selling well there.
I like the fact that Charlotte didn't do much. She's smarter than Becky so she's staying to the side while Becky's getting her ass kicked. In the end Becky's at the bottom of the totem pole which is what needed to happen.

We all know Becky’s winning Sunday, but hopefully it’s via Ronda interference, given how ridiculously lopsided the Charlotte/Becky booking has been since June.

Becky's now a cemented underdog here so when she wins the crowd will pop and it shows adversity which is the main reason why people became fans of hers, she pushed back. I expect Charlotte to beat her ass after the match too and hell, I expect her to walk into WM beaten down like Bryan and still win. It'll be good for her.

Yeah the whole exchange between Becky and Ronda was awkward, probably because they've never worked together before (can't count the segment on the go home Raw for Survivor Series). They'll get the chemistry down over the next month. Ronda needed something like that to reestablish her as The Baddest Woman on the Planet. The Becky mark in me didn't like seeing it, so I'll say that's a positive.

This was needed. Good stuff.
Let’s just hope she doesn’t go the whole “I’m not pretend fighting anymore! THIS IS REAL” route. Miss me with that shit.

Yeah this makes Becky a bigger underdog and it puts some major adversity over her which doesn't relate to storyline injuries. You've got mega-heel Charlotte who's smart and not damaged and you've got Ronda "I'm Undefeated and I'm That Bitch" Rousey beating her ass. This'll make Becky's win better. Smart that she's a real underdog again but it took us going through this many twists and turns before this? Rough ride.

Ronda trying to be a face during this Becky shit flopped like a limp penis. This board really likes to talk about limp penises.

I'm always down for Becky beating people up, especially Charlotte, but yeah, you can't have her dominate both on social media and the TV shows every week then beat them at WrestleMania. Even Bryan had to have that segment where HHH beat him down while he was handcuffed. I don't know how they're going to have Becky beat Charlotte Sunday and they need to phase Stephanie out of this but it's a nice start to the turnaround.

Charlotte's social media 'reaction' to the segment is pretty good: Lol, her going back and forth with the fans in the comments is funny. She must be loving this current role.

What did Ronda say after “damn the man and screw the woo”? For the life of me I couldn’t understand her.

I know this whole evolution is something Becky wanted, but I wouldn't be surprised if so much of why Charlotte's nailing it right now is because she's allowed to go in new directions too. She's having so much fun right now and has proven when she actually has a character that a lot of her issues came down to not having any character at all so portray. Now that she has something it's coming together much better.

I'm glad they actually listened to the fans and gave up on making Becky the heel and Charlotte the face, because Charlotte's an amazing heel and Becky one of the greatest babyfaces they've ever had.

Even her past heel runs didn't have what this has going for it; she's finding something here that feels way more like what she wants to be than "daughter of Ric Flair and kinda mean" had her being. She was never this interesting during the endless hot potatoing of the Raw womens' title.

She was never this interesting during the endless hot potatoing of the Raw womens' title. She gave an interview not too long ago, when she was a face, saying she'd like to go back to being a heel because she'd be 10x better this time around. I liked her on Raw even though like Nikki Bella before and Alexa Bliss after her it was too much, but she wasn't lying.

Becky's become a babyface that can talk shit and get away with it and Charlotte's become a bitchy queen heel who doesn't care what you think. It's like they're both the yin and yang that have gained the ability to be free without any issues.

This hurts more than when Sami Zayn dancing around like a drunk teenager was compared to Kurt Angle in 2000 "Sami Zayn....wow. What a heel. He's an amazing character. He's honestly a main event act right now. Him as a heel world champion would be a huge deal."
