Almas vs Mysterio on the pre-show yet the trash womans tag match makes the main card, that makes sense.

Lynch vs Charlotte should be a straight up #1 contenders match (for smackdown's sake, they need Asuka to face someone decent).

Thus rendering the last two months of build as totally meaningless.

Well they'd be fixing their mistakes. Charlotte just feels like an add on right now, when the real animosity is clearly Becky vs Ronda (even on twitter and everywhere else, that has been the feud).

Charlotte has done a lot of the heavy lifting in the feud. Ronda a poor promo and Becky is just okay. Charlotte's inclusion is necessary when you have long talking segments on every TV show for months of build. She's the God damn cream in the coffee.

People STILL think Charlotte shouldn't be in, that she's just an add on.....omg, that is hilarious. This feud likely wouldn't be doing this well if it WASN'T for Charlotte. I say this all the time, without Charlotte, the match at WM with just Ronda and Becky would flop realllllly badly. Charlotte is a must for the match at Mania to be any good.
Kobe Bryant was asked who he feels is the toughest opponent to guard in the NBA. Instead of picking OKC's Kevin Durant, Bryant went with Portland’s Brandon Roy.

Charlotte is the best female performer on the roster, and probably top 5 overall

1. Brock
2. DB
3. Seth
4. Joe
5. Charlotte

And just because people want to see Ronda v Becky doesn't mean they don't want to see Charlotte v Becky - I'm sure they do. And for Fastlane - probably traditionally (because it has so little tradiition) the least significant PPV that WWE does, it's a great match. It's nothing more than a vehicle to set up WM.

and why can't they do them separately rather than dilute the feud. Its not like Charlotte can add anything more than this feud already has. Hell, do Becky vs Ronda at mania and have Becky vs Charlotte be the big feud from mania to summerslam (and with those two, they easily could).

Flop, the two of them are the hottest feud in the company and Charlotte is the third wheel in the feud clearly. All the heat is between Ronda and Becky for the most part, Ronda doesn't care about Charlotte for the most part, sure you have the Charlotte vs Becky matters but they should have saved that till after mania when they can focus on that.

In fact Asuka doesn't have an opponent for mania (presuming they don't just give Mandy Rose the title, then all bets are off).

Man when they run the promos for these copycat storylines back to back it really shows off how lazy the writing is.

Mandy showed she's just not ready for primetime yet. Got a ways to go. She should still be in NXT.

Really hope these Elias segments build to Gargano coming out and destroying him to a massive pop.

Way to many McMahon-centric storylines right now.
