Charlotte’s Apology:
Trending
Grade: 8/10
This was a strong way to close the show, although the announcement of yet another Banks vs. Charlotte match with a stipulation for Roadblock, is disappointing.

Rather than giving SmackDown’s women a chance to ‘make history’, or even other Raw women (Bayley, Nia Jax?), WWE continues to focus on only Sasha and Charlotte, tarnishing the historical significance of the entire women’s revolution.
It isn’t a revolution if only two of many women are involved, and yet another stipulation match for Sasha vs. Charlotte was definitely the wrong choice. Still, their Iron Man match at Roadblock is sure to be stellar, and this was a strong segment to build to it.
Considering how long these two have been feuding, the involvement of Ric Flair into the story was a wise choice by WWE to keep it going. Yet another personal element has been added to the Banks/Charlotte rivalry, and their match at Roadblock will definitely benefit from it.
Charlotte was incredible here, proving why she is the best heel on Raw, by degrading her father once again and beating down Banks while taunting Flair. The boos were thunderous from the crowd when the show went off the air, and this significant increase in heel heat for Charlotte will only benefit the electricity of their blowoff bout at Roadblock.
Banks now has a perfect reason for revenge for next week, as the build to their Iron Man match continues, and this is a much better story than ‘making history’. Overall, a strong segment that saw Charlotte prosper as the top heel on Raw, while Banks and Charlotte’s rivalry now has another layer of bad blood to work with for Roadblock.
