WWE Payback 2016: In-depth analysis of booking decisions

The PPV surely missed them

Charlotte retains her Women’s Championship

The lamest screwjob ever

WWE sometimes does the wrong things for the right reasons. And this is the best example of it. The Women’s Revolution in WWE (don’t fault me, I can’t call them divas any longer) needed something that turned every eye in the world to them. They needed the attention very simple and how WWE gets it – Chicago Screwjob.

But the problem with this screwjob is that it came as the lamest rip off one can perform. Even WWE thinks it is lame and that is why they haven’t included it in their “Anti-Wrestler Conspiracies” list in the recent video they released. And it has hurt the division more than anything else could.

Women’s Revolution is built upon the credibility of performers and not on the other aspects of wrestling. This was mainly aimed to bring heat on Women’s Champion Charlotte, but it didn’t succeed. The decision to make Natalya lose was a sound one, but WWE executed it poorly.

The execution has not only hurt the rivalry but also the entire women’s division as a whole. WWE should concentrate on building more simultaneous rivalries(though they are in process, nothing solid has come off it) rather than trying bring up the past. I mean, this is a new era, right?

Verdict: 2/5
