The biggest winners and losers from last night's SmackDown (August 21)

Loser: Charlotte Flair

One of the most damning indictments of WWE's broken creative regime in a long time came last night, as Becky Lynch solidified her heel turn. While Becky played her part excellently, her promo was completely tone deaf, especially the part about attacking the fans, who know that she's right. SummerSlam felt like it should have been her moment and it was taken from her.

Charlotte Flair emerged to boos, and when the two fought, it was very clear whose side the fans were on.

Ultimately, this is going to damage Charlotte much more than Becky. Fans aren't going to boo the latter, and all of the goodwill Charlotte has built up as a babyface over the last year is now rapidly evaporating. Although the chatter was there for a long time, she's now being solidified as "the Roman Reigns of the women's division" - a radioactive "babyface" who fans don't want to see succeed.

The result will be that the first women's WrestleMania main event next year has a much higher chance of being received as poorly as this year's one was. It certainly doesn't help that the first cracks in Ronda Rousey's armor are also beginning to show.
