Charlotte vs. Nia: What the hell was that?

[Chiral]

Charlotte and Nia put on an all time classic tonight. Complete with either worked shoot punches or straight up shoot punches, like twelve spots going wrong, and two wrestlers visibly frustrated with each other.

What in the f*** was that match?

I wish I was there live so I could start a "This is awesome" chant

That was one hell of a disasterpiece if I ever saw one. Holy f***, awful doesn't even begin to describe it.

It was a car crash and they should run it back for the lols.

Only thing I came in here to say is I saw some clips on Twitter about the Charlotte/Nia match. I don't know what was said but it's pretty clear that it wasn't some "hey they've always had bad chemistry" issue. Something happened between them and then they messed the match up. Charlotte even tried to fight back but Nia, given her side and her upbringing saw that shit and f***ed with her a bit.

I actually don't look forward to any backstage news reports about that (but I know we'll get em) because that shit was the kind of stuff we don't need to see in wrestling. If you've got some sort of issue with your coworker don't bring that shit to where fans/customers can see it.

Just nasty. It's not even funny to me, that's gross.

I don't think I've ever seen a match that bad go on that long.

I mean that part sounds like a pretty standard Nia match... >->

Charlotte and Nia seem like pretty good friends IRL from what I can tell, but it did look like they got frustrated with each other. You don't know how badly I want to believe they started shooting on each other, because it'd be so goddamn funny.

The worst part is I dont know if it's even the worst WWE match of the entire year... but it's an easy top five.

They didn't learn their lesson the last time Nia and Charlotte had a singles match so they decided to double down and have the next one be even f***ing worse. Both women looked absolutely lost by the middle and looked ready to shoot on each other at points. If it was planned to be that way then it's EVEN WORSE.

Then they made it worse by having Nia win by pinning Charlotte clean. This match shouldn't have gone two segments let alone ACTUALLY THREATENING US WITH CONTINUING IT. Also f***ing Charlotte trying to get sympathy post match and the crowd just didn't give a single shit about her lmfao.

I can only imagine what others like Alvarez will say about this shit. What a moment in time it was. Only amplified by the fact Nia was also wearing skin stocking gear... f***ing hell what an experience lol.

I mean... for a rough as they were and as "heatless" as they could've been, Charlotte and Rhea had physical matches and you could tell there were some good parts in them. The same goes with Nia's matches with Ronda Rousey, having pretty good matches against each other given their styles. Nia and Charlotte, however... Have they ever had a good match against each other or have they always been this clunky? Because I don't remember them ever having a match worth talking about that hasn't turned into disaster.

Unfortunately it did appear to look that way. It also doesn't help they have Nia on RAW Talk tonight. I'm expecting that to be a disaster too.

Times like this I hate that I use Raw as background noise. I didn’t watch a lick of it.

You owe it to yourself to check out this classic.

This match doesn't do Nia any favors towards proving that she's safe to work with. That final powerbomb looked very dangerous.

[Chiral]

They're really pushing the SPLATTER thing on Raw Talk in Nia's interview that they were saying all night, so that might be what they were going for lol.

[Mochi Lone Wolf]

…..I thought it was awesome. It’s like when an Inoki match went wrong and he’d just beat the shit out of people.

[Bang Bang Bart]

Haven't seen someone so unhappy with a win since the 2015 Rumble.

There was also a spot in the match where Nia was going for a back drop and Charlotte landed a little awkwardly.
