Ranking all of WWE's current champions (post-SummerSlam weekend)

#11: Charlotte Flair (SmackDown Women's Champion)

Wrong time.

Ring work: Usually reliable, if not always spectacular, Charlotte's matches deliver when paired with another top opponent. She did a great job in the SummerSlam triple threat and managed to help carry Carmella. She can be inconsistent at times compared to some of her peers, but has proven herself time and again.

Character work: Her promos aren't as good as a babyface as they are as a heel. While she plays off the genetically superior ice queen perfectly, her portrayal as a babyface, much less a sympathetic one, is much less convincing.

Crowd connection: As a heel, crowds invested more heavily into her. As a babyface, it's far more tepid, and she's in danger of being legitimately hated with this current angle with Becky Lynch.

Prospects: This is ultimately the reason Charlotte is currently ranked so low. This really wasn't the time for her to be champion again. Her last reign with the SmackDown women's title was forgettable until Asuka entered the picture, and her alignment as a face with a heel Becky is ill-advised.

The feud with Becky should definitely be a good one, but Charlotte is likely to win it, and could be damaged even more as a result. She'll need to drop her title by the Royal Rumble at the latest, and beyond Becky, her reign doesn't have a lot of pop to it. It feels like it was just done to pad the numbers for her.
