Having Charlotte do all three brands was pointless, and it only served to get her hurt. Good job on that front WWE, now the two top booked girls are out for the rest of the year, maybe even longer. I'm glad Asuka beat her on the way out then, but this does leave a bad taste in my mouth over her NXT run. Maybe she wasn't hurt at that point, but the fact she just f***ing buried Rhea, took the title, and then lost it without getting pinned will never make sense to be as a payoff to "Help the future stars", that was some HHH level shit and it's just gonna bother me for awhile. Charlotte needed time off, I wish it wasn't her getting legit hurt that did it, but she NEEDED it. Now I hope RAW remembers they have Shayna and Bianca on their roster soon... they're sorely needed I hope Charlotte has a speedy recovery, I have major issues with her booking, but she is a workhorse, no doubt about it, whether she wanted to be or not...
While opinion is subjective, I would strongly disagree on Rhea being *"f***ing buried"--she lost at Mania in an excellent and hard-hitting 20-minute match after getting her leg destroyed, with numerous near falls and hope spots. It wasn't a squash by any means and I think calling a great match like that a burial trivialises the idea of burials. (Though its fascinating in itself that a lot of her big wins are called 'burials' just because of who she beat, when you watch the actual matches and they're portrayed as highly competitive) Charlotte wasn't pinned at Takeover, but it was by no means a Becky-at-Survivor-Series-2019 situation where she got protected and then also got to pose after the match, she was directly involved in the finish due to Io taking advantage of the Figure 8 to get the pin while Charlotte was too entangled to break it up. As for Rhea, there's a long-term storyline there now too with the potential of them having another match one day where Rhea can finally overcome, especially remembering she's still only 23, and Charlotte praising her to the moon in post-Mania interviews, even stating that wrestling with her felt like wrestling Sasha in terms of just having that instant chemistry.

She’s not hurt, she’s getting elective surgery. That's a hell of an elective surgery to keep you out a timetable of possibly over half a year... PWInsider said she’s taking 6 weeks off.

I know they won't... But I'm thinking after Charlotte comes back, to ease her back into things, they should put her in a tag team for a bit. Story wise you can note that she's not yet won the Tag Titles. Not sure who her partner could be though (were this about a year ago Charlotte/Lacey could have been an option). Chelsea Green could be a good partner for her.

“There’s a 0 percent chance Charlotte returns for SummerSlam,” TalkSport says its sources told them. So, she's beating Drew then. I literally would consider watching again if they did that.

but the fact she just f***ing buried Rhea, took the title,. We as fans need to have a serious talk about what a burial is, because that match at 'Mania.....that ain't it. Not even close.

Maybe I should have worded it better. I should say while the Mania match was good, I'm really wondering what the end rub was or is for Rhea after all is said and done. Charlotte beat her, then Rhea came back, just to not get her revenge and lose again, and then Charlotte dipped. I guess that's just a frustrating thing, so sorry if I just went too far with the hyperbole there.

Sasha may be the last one standing with Bayley going to the beach during this mess.

I hope she recovers quickly and well. That said, this might be a good time to tweak her character and shed some of the Ric Flair cosplay that's been dogging her for years. It made sense in the beginning but this woman has accomplished so much that at this point it just seems odd that she's playing at Ric Flair light. She doesn't need her lineage to carry her and hasn't for a long time.

Charlotte is gonna show up in August with the Nicki Minaj yeeks I made this same joke to someone a couple days ago. That's the only part of her body that hasn't been reconstructed over the last few years. Charlotte has had so much plastic surgery that she doesn't even look like the same person that was in NXT five years ago.

It's her face and her money, she's not hurting anybody. I just think it's sad when an already attractive woman does things like that to her face. The same applies for Carmela and I'm sure a few others on the roster if I took time to think about it.

So, according to her Twitter, it’s for a reoccurrence of the issue that sidelined her in 2018... Silicone poisoning from leaking breast implants, which necessitates a clean-up operation and/or replacement. She seems to indicate that a short-turnaround solution she took in 2018 is starting to falter (because she wanted to get back to wrestling sooner), so she may have taken a different option this time before she started getting sick. twitter.com/mscharlottewwe/status/1282443474520793088?s=21 (thread)

It’s also worth noting that she indirectly points out that she was working injured for that classic WM 34 match with Asuka.

Poor Charlotte. I hope she continues to heal and I hope this doesn't happen to her again. Also I'm glad she's taking a serious approach to talking about these things rather than it being all jokes because it relates to implants.
It makes me wonder about all of the injuries these wrestlers go through and return quickly from just because they have the drive to do it. There's no telling what they suffer from on a day to day basis.

She’s not 100% if she needs that tape on her shoulder like she has had the last few weeks, but she’s on the biggest push of her career right now (and probably so she could transfer the benefits of that to one of her best mates in Banks), and doing so in the absence of the tippy-top level of women in Lynch and Flair, so she probably feels like she can’t stop and get it sorted out.
