The storyline is about bring the division up to her level. They're on her level now.

so Charlotte watched Io climb the ropes, do a moonsault onto Rhea and then pin her and at no point did she consider releasing the hold so Rhea could potentially kick out? yet again they've managed to come up with a finish that makes everyone involved look weak and dumb

that really sucks but i think they are technically at least doing what they want to do. don't know if that's better or worse than the times when wwe would have a band play really, really poorly and sound like some kids who don't know what they're doing attempting a cover

Since she won the Rumble, Charlotte is 9-3. One of those losses was by DQ (the Io title shot) and the other two were to Bayley and the Nia/Nattie triple threat.

I just don't see how her series of feuds did anything for anyone except for maybe Io, who ended up pinning another NXT wrestler to beat her.

Based on their own rules, it was a double cover and they can drag out another 3 months of entitled whiny Charlotte saying she should be co-champion.

She tried to untangle their legs, that part actually looked a bit realistic.

Figure 4 has all kinds of rules for its own physics. For instance if you reverse it, it hurts the person who put it on in the first place! Also you can pin someone with it in some companies.

No I kept laughing during that match. His wrestling and movements look great, but he looked immensely goofy.

Whenever you think about Charlotte's booking, replace 'Charlotte' with 'HHH' and see if the logic becomes a kind of consistent.

I did think she put in a good performance tonight but the booking is just so, so bad. Though maybe she was smiling because she knows she's getting the raw title tomorrow.

literally half of her title reigns have been immediately hotshot at the very next pay per view or in one case, seconds after she won it
