Someone like Bianca or Iyo won't be getting a main event spot at Mania because of "Charlotte in the Bank.." but that's where my frustration over Charlotte ends.....for now

 

[Rell84shots]

They were feeding her to Charlotte like everyone else

Then she would've moved on to someone else. Did you really expect Toni to beat Chuck? They fed Bianca & Rhea to Chuck and look at what they were able to accomplish.

don’t be a WWE shill breh..we both know damn well it’s not about talent when Charlotte fresh off a injury gets put in the main event picture after the rest of the roster been busting they azz & I always thought Indi was mid so it’s no doom & gloom from me

People may not like Charlotte and that's their right but to say she also didn't bust her ass, literally it seems since it's even more non-existent than before, to come back from her injuries would be disingenuous.

Like her or hate her, she still commands the star power in that company. That's just the facts.

Why does she deserve to be handed a Royal Rumble win and a premium Wrestlemania spot tho?

She wouldn't have gotten the creative freedom and had RJ City's assistance with the story/character arcs if she had stayed. After the Charlotte feud she would have likely been in Zoey Stark's position.

TBF, She left before they could do anything with her. She was floundering in AEW until she did the timeless gimmick.

Na, you can’t do this. Swerve was in a tag team before finding his lane as a singles wrestler and it wasn’t until the Hangman feud he shined more. It took Rico several months before he is where he’s at now. No one is a star overnight and no one said they were made in a short amount of time.

Even though it was mostly in NXT, Toni was with the E for 4 years. That was enough time to call her up to the main roster and build her.

Why does anyone? She has the star power plain and simple. It's clearly what they are looking for. We really can't say more since they are still in the middle of creating both match ups.

This ain't about anyone else. Just admit she got it because of her name and that's it.

Bruh that's exactly what I was saying when I mentioned star power.

Just like John Cena is getting straight into the Elimination Chamber. If he wins that will people be having the same conversation?

Considering our didn't need the rumble win. Then neither did Charlotte. Charlotte could've easily still been in the title picture without it, and they could've given someone like iyo the recognition for being a true rumble winner. Heck, even Liv Morgan. We'd still be in the same position whether Charlotte won or not so it was not necessary for her to win(again)

I agree but I don't book the shows. We all know Charlotte is the John Cena of the women's division. They clearly wanted more accolades on her being the first 2x Rumble winner. We sill don't know how the EC will pan out. IYO still might make it or heck even Bianca might win but where does that leave the Jade story so that's a "I'll believe it when I see it" scenario. I only say Bianca because there is small chance they do her vs Rhea but until IYO is officially ruled out of the EC I think she's still getting in that match.

She was mainly in the UK. Vince was already hesitant to build up NXT wrestlers that were in AmkeriKKKa, so do you really think he was going to invest in a wrestler from developmental spinoff? She left because she wasn't ready for the pressure of the main roster.

She wouldn't have gotten the creative freedom and had RJ City's assistance with the story/character arcs if she had stayed. After the Charlotte feud she would have likely been in Zoey Stark's position.

Maybe or maybe not, But she spent a year doing nothing in AEW and then got lucky with the gimmick change. Ironically the Timeless Toni gimmick is something Vince would actually get behind instead of a white girl that wears her cap backwards.

That is the one match I don't want to see more than another Roman/Cody match.

Charlotte is like the women’s Jeff Jarrett - going to carny her ass into the spotlight no matter what for decades

Rhea already cost Iyo her chamber slot for the EC. If anything, they should technically book a title match against each other on 3/1 and then Rhea would face the winner of the EC at WrestleMania. I know that Iyo is great in the ring but I haven't dig her character on tv, so I don't feel it would be a great build until late April. I with the majority feeling that we would like the see Rhea vs Bianca for WM but we don't trust HHH booking for it.

She left because she was being fed to Xharlotte and had cake thrown in her face on some embarrassment shyt. Stop.
