Countdown to Armageddon
Charlotte has a multitude of reasons to be in the match, both kayfabe and for real.You are trying way too hard to make Charlotte matter right now, when it’s blantantly clear she doesn’t. Not in this match. So far including her looks like the wrong call, period.
Maybe she will matter later, cause Charlotte always holds up her end. In the ring? I have no doubt it will work.
But her two biggest moments so far have been 1) Vince hijacking Wrestlemania and introducing her (which was more a Vince/Becky moment), and 2) the promo where she was clowning Becky’s limp.
None of the stuff by herself, or without Becky around, has landed. None of it feels necessary for this match. Mostly because as messy as some of the Becky/Ronda shyt has been, it’s also been compelling.
There’s a reason people keep saying “Charlotte isn’t needed,” or “I don’t get Charlotte’s angle here.” No ones prompting that reaction. Don’t ignore it just because Charlotte has carried the division in the past, or you want to see her in the match.
She may seem disconnected to the narrative lately, but the story has also been terrible lately. And she, in contrast, has just been cutting good heel promos. To me that's doing more for the match than whatever all-over-the-place stuff they've been doing with Becky and Ronda last several weeks. None of THAT has landed.
