You’re talking to a guy that was out of the game for a while, so bare with me lol. I’m just basing it on what i have seen the last 6 months, on Raw. I agree, Asuka has the chops. But where is she at? Serious question.Charlotte has Triple H promo syndrome...take 15 minutes to say what should take 3. She just drones on and on and on...it's fucking awful. As for her work...at one time she was undeniably one of the 3 best women in the company in the ring. That's not longer the case though. It seems like she's let her hype and success go to her head. She seems to legit feel every bit as entitled as her character does...much like her dad she's let the gimmick become real life...that must be what's in her blood. She's gotten sloppy and lazy in her matches, and at times even reckless. Anyone who can't see the change isn't paying attention.
As far as anyone being better than Charlotte in the ring...Asuka is the obvious example. When it comes to working a match, no woman in the company can touch her and Bayley is the only one who comes close at this point. They've gone out of their way at this point to make sure we all know Charlotte is the one person who will always stand above her though...so I don't think anyone wants to see that feud again. Rhea is a weird one. She's really good if you book her in certain types of matches...but weak as hell in all others. She's not a throw her in there with anyone, any match kind of performer...and much like Asuka they've made sure to cut her legs out from under her when it comes to Charlotte. They hammered home the point that Rhea is beneath her and we should never get invested in her taking the top spot. Other than that...they've made every other woman on Raw look like an after thought...so we're stuck with Charlotte droning on and on in promos and squashing anyone who shows potential. I guess we're going to get Bliss next...whoop dee fucking doo!
Now as for whether Nikki deserved the spot or not...that a separate argument. I don't think she did either. Sanity Nikki was a fun character with potential, but that ship sailed a long time ago, and Nikki seemed to regress in the ring tremendously when she was paired with Bliss. At this point the only saving grace she has is that her ass is fantastic.
I guess, i shouldn’t say she can cut a good promo, but she gets the idea of being a villain. When the crowd was chanting “Becky” at MITB, and she told them all “Becky’s home breastfeeding, and I”M HERE” Stuff like that tells me she gets it. I read someone suggest that Bayley manages her while injured, I liked that idea. They are starting to squash Rhea. The female lineup on Raw is rough. Put a gun to my head, i think Charlotte should be at the top of the heap.
