Unless there is more backstory to that person’s comment, it’s kind of stupid on Charlotte’s part. I don’t really see how calling out someone who pretty much insulted two of your co workers who might’ve been friends. Unless I misinterpreted it. It’s a generic negative comment about two superstars. It wasn’t anything insanely personal, sexist, racist, overly sexualized, etc, etc. The person isn’t a fan of them and said one was worse than the other. Ok? So is she actually encouraging fans to cheer favorites and boo the ones they don’t? Entertainment/art is subjective and people don’t have to like everything, hence the idea of having favorites and ones you don’t like. She is making it some personal issue, when nothing like that is in that comment. Like I said previously, if their is more backstory to that comment ok. But using that comment on it’s own as some instance of “Look I’m OWNING TROLLZ” is stupid.

It'll make her look like a bigger babyface and Charlotte here is going straight full on mega-heel. She's like female Trips when he hit the sledgehammer over that casket Rock was in.

They gotta have Charlotte do the Figure 8 around the post. I WOULD BE SO PISSED! And Becky saying "f***" will always be funny, I don't know why.

She took offense to somebody saying a heel “sucked” She worked herself into a shoot, brother.

Also by retweeting it and framing their comment as some personal attack she is trying to use her much larger platform to get the person harassed for a pretty innocuous comment.

Yeah I mean, I’d get it if it was something seriously offensive. Like “Hurr Durr you’re only successful cause of your last name” or “Women’s wrestling sucks. Bring back the Attitude Era!!!” “Ruby sucks” isn’t quite cutting it for me. And then she THREATENS to block him like she’s a big shot lmao. Like... just block him if you’re gonna do it. Don’t be like “You’re on your last warning.”... who does she think she is?

My biggest takeaway from this is that the officials are f***ing useless. Becky's hurt and the wrestler hurting her still has a weapon. There's five of us, most of us much larger than her but instead of trying to stop her, we'll just give her room every time she attacks Becky. Bless Charlotte's heart, she's trying but I genuinely feel like I just took a time machine to 3 months ago. I know some are loving it, but I need a break from Charlotte/Becky after seven months.

Image link doesn't work, what was it?
Oh, its someone on instagram asking her if she paid face value on her ringside ticket for Elimination Chamber, to which she responded "I get everything handed to me."

Her stance is that she's totally fine with people insulting her on social media (especially now she's a heel so she can fire back), but she strongly dislikes fans attacking her coworkers, especially other women like Ruby. Indeed, she prides herself on playing an arrogant heel who nonetheless doesn't overtly insult other women wrestlers. She's talked about the dynamic of her character in some of her recent interviews, like this one.

I don't care, it doesn't matter that they're pulling an angle here, the end result is Charlotte "Ric Flair's daughter" Flair (did you know her dad is Ric Flair?) is being shoehorned into more bullshit to pad her resume.
Becky is the most over person in the company right now specifically because fans wanted Charlotte to go away. Not "oh we booked a little something to get Becky popular", it was "we are literally rejecting this heel turn because we are sick of your endless push".
And how do they learn from it? Best case scenario is a triple threat she has literally no business being in. Becky and Ronda turned the stupid Survivor Series feuding into something so amazing people want it to main event Mania. Becky is so popular she managed to make Nia Jax interesting for all of 3 weeks.
Who the f*** asked for Charlotte in this match?

Not "oh we booked a little something to get Becky popular", it was "we are literally rejecting this heel turn because we are sick of your endless push". Most of it was because it was specifically Becky Lynch, though. You’re not getting these same reactions if it were, for example, Dana Brooke.

The best stories are the realest ones. You telling me Game of Thrones is real? I mean, considering how much of the medieval stuff, which I've generally seen prefer to the Zombies and dragons, is ripped from actual history. It's not actually that far from the truth.

Becky is so popular she managed to make Nia Jax interesting for all of 3 weeks. Who the f*** asked for Charlotte in this match?
A major reason people were so hyped pre-Survivor Series was Nia punching Becky in the face. While Becky giving Ronda the backstage disarmher was cool, that invasion segment would not have been nearly as memorable without the blood and the image of Becky standing tall afterwards. (Indeed, though they cut a couple of promos, a lot of the social media before that moment was based around Becky trolling Ronda about who was bigger on the Survivor Series poster.) And while that moment undoubtedly made the match something for Mania, it also created a three-way story, especially with the way they booked the Ronda/Charlotte match at Survivor Series, and the high quality of the match itself. Had they just wanted to stick with Ronda/Becky, they could easily have booked Ronda winning clean and not bothered with the massive beatdown that ended the match, but will play just great in video packages in months ahead. (Charlotte even conveniently took off her SDL shirt so it didn't just end up looking like a brand warfare thing.) I know many fans feel Charlotte has no business being there because they feel she's been 'given' too much, but its more complicated that that in practice, even if WWE's totally exploiting that dynamic in the way they're telling the story now. (My own theory is that her surname has actually hurt her perception as it just means fans will ascribe anything she achieves to being a Flair, but that's a discussion for another topic.)
