How will Charlotte Flair respond to Bayley’s defiance?

After accepting Charlotte Flair’s challenge for WWE Clash of Champions, SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley sent a message to The Queen by shoving her off her chair during a heated “Moment of Bliss.”

How will the nine-time champion respond to the defiant Hugger?

Now I wouldn't exactly call Bayley defiant. Or this feud heated for that matter. Goddamn if the peak of this feud is Bayley shoving Charlotte off of a chair, it's going to be utter poo poo. There are zero emotional stakes here, and depending on Charlotte's response tonight, I wouldn't be shocked if this ends up being Mean Girls level awful.

Especially compared to Becky/Sasha which is way more interesting from my perspective.

Worth noting that the time Lacey and Baron were pushed were the times that ratings completely cratered. And they are just starting to recover, albeit slowly.

Also Lacey is an anti-draw. Just my two cents though.

Also worth noting that if they wanted to give Bayley a win over a heel, all they needed to do was put Mandy or Sonya out there to get beaten by her. It even features women from that brand. But instead we get stuck with Lacey Evans while the entire Smackdown Live Women's Roster continues to sit in catering.

In case you aren't watching Smackdown, Lacey looked like utter dogshit, to the shock of no one. I hope someone gifs that first Bayley to Belly she got because it was legit one of the worst things I've seen in a long time. It was worse than the one that was posted online awhile back.

Last I heard Uli got his poo poo together. We can postulated that he has perhaps hosed

I am still waiting for Platform Masters to come out. Every other game will be swept to the side by all of its parallax scrolling.

Anyways, still think the Bayley/Charlotte feud is heatless, and the match against Lacey Evans did nothing to add to it. Also Roman Reigns is a big ol jerk for spearing Daniel Bryan who was just trying to apologize.

Seems like it. Lacey hosed up they Bayley to Belly three times. Once earlier this year, and then twice last night.

In hindsight, I think the one Lacey took earlier this year was worse, but I'm split between giving it a pass or not because it never actually made TV (it was a dark match related thing).

I will say I did like Bayley's backstage promo (uploaded after SD last night) talking about how she's tired of only facing RAW women and Charlotte. While the rest of the Smackdown Women's Division goes neglected.

Just a reminder that Vince thought (or still possibly thinks) that Lacey should be a pillar of the women's division, filling in the void Ronda left behind.

What happened to Liv Morgan? They were building something up for 'when she returns' or whatever

Asuka or Kairi getting a shot at NoC would be nice, but we all know that's not going to happen. Maybe they have plans to send them back to NXT next month...

I dunno what happened with Liv. And Asuka and Kairi were relegated to the pre-SD dark match, beating Mandy and Sonya.

I don't think its much of a stretch to say that Kairi's callup was one of the worst this year so far.

Whenever Rousey does actually leave the company is 100% her decision, and there is no set date that has been determined.

So in case you missed it, WWE might have to stop calling Becky Lynch "The Man" soon.

If you haven't been following the social media thread, Asuka has been teasing launching some sort of YouTube or Twitch channel over the past couple of days it seems.

Well I guess if they're not gonna be using her (:sigh:) she might as well do something she finds fun.

Yup. Problem with the main roster WWE women's division is that unless you are in the title picture, they don't give a poo poo about you. And the title pictures is currently Sasha/Becky on RAW (which is fine), and Bayley/Charlotte on Smackdown (which is ice cold and there is very little to no heat/interest with it). And WWE had the complete lack of foresight of protecting Asuka and Kairi in their tag title matches against Alexa/Nikki (who are still full blown heels, but also heels who completely wiped out the division in two weeks).

I care because the channel name gives me false hope she's gonna get the gently caress outta that garbage company.

I wouldn't hold your breath on that front. She likely chose the name because WWE almost certainly owns the trademarks and rights to the character Asuka. And just like Xavier Woods, she probably chose to brand the channel under her former alias in order to keep it out of the hands of WWE, so if she ever does leave in the future, she doesn't need to rebrand.

And she isn't the first person, and likely won't be the last person to do that either. I know Xavier is the most high profile example of using WWE's image to elevate their own brand. But there's also Mandy (DaMandyz Donuts), Tyler Breeze/Baron Corbin/Shawn Spears(fka Tye Dillenger) who used it to launch [TheSweetz100], and a couple of others who have used WWE's branding image to elevate their own.

zero cause it's not a title match

For now. It would be completely in WWE's wheelhouse to turn it into a title match sometime during the show. Especially with rumors that there will be a women's tag title defense during CoC as well, and there are literally no teams left for Alexa/Nikki to face.

Honestly if you are a woman on the main roster and you aren't a WWE 4HW or Alexa Bliss, I have no idea why you would even consider signing a new deal at this point. It's blatantly obvious main roster creative doesn't care about anyone outside of those names I just listed, and are perfectly content to let them rot in catering. Despite the fact that while Sasha/Becky is a decent feud so far (but still sorta dumb), Bayley/Charlotte is ice cold and completely dumb. :shrug:
