3 reasons why WWE booking a 'Charlotte Flair vs Lacey Evans' feud is a huge mistake

The women's division of WWE has fallen way below the standards that it had set in the year 2018. One can argue that no female superstar can match the levels of Ronda Rousey but it is the storyline booking which has let the women's division down.

The Creative teamed crowned Lacey Evans and Charlotte Flair as the #1 contenders of the RAW and SmackDown Women's Championship respectively. Both the heels had a common enemy in Becky Lynch and it seemed like the two heels had formed a great bond between themselves.

However, this myth was proven wrong when Lacey Evans turned on Charlotte Flair on last week's SmackDown Live episode and the two battled in a match, last night on RAW as well.

This move has puzzled the WWE Universe because there was no need at all for this feud. I will list the 3 key reasons which will prove that this 'Lacey Evans vs Charlotte Flair' feud is a huge mistake -


#3 The WWE Universe has no one to cheer for!

The fact that both Charlotte Flair and Lacey Evans are heels will it very difficult for the WWE Universe to pick someone whom they can cheer for. The fans do not like the way Charlotte is winning championships one after the other while a majority of fans hate Lacey Evans' in-ring work and her character.

These characteristics have made the two female superstars mega-heels of the female division yet WWE is booking a feud between them. I see WWE booking a match between the two at WWE Stomping Grounds where the winner of the match will earn a title shot at Becky's title or maybe even the champion they want to go after.

#2 Charlotte Flair is a SmackDown superstar while Lacey Evans works on RAW

Is it Survivor Series already?
Is it Survivor Series already?

WWE has always promoted WWE Survivor Series as the one night of the year where RAW and SmackDown Live collides in head-to-head competition. However, this is no longer the case thanks to the Wild Card rule. The Queen is assigned to SmackDown Live and she should feud with the likes of Carmella, Ember Moon, the champion Bayley or even Liv Morgan!

But, she is poking her nose in the business of a RAW superstar which does not make sense at all. There is no need right now to book rivalries between RAW and SmackDown superstars because all this is doing is limiting the TV time of the undercard superstars.

We are seeing the same wrestlers appear on both RAW and SmackDown Live and this feud will just continue the recent trend.

#1 Devalues both the champions

The Man and the Hugger need opponents

WWE Stomping Grounds will take place on the 23rd of June that means WWE has only two weeks time to build both the title feuds. While the logic says the WWE Universe should get a RAW Women's Championship match between Becky Lynch and Lacey Evans and a SmackDown Women's Championship match between Charlotte Flair and Bayley.

But, WWE is a company where there is no respect for logic. Thus, they have gone for a feud between Charlotte Flair and Lacey Evans. Even if WWE books the two aforementioned bouts for Stomping Grounds, I expect either one of Lacey Evans or Charlotte interfering in the other match and extend their feud.

This will help the champion in retaining the title but a clean victory always helps a superstar more than just keeping hold of the title.

Also, I do not remember a time when we saw the challengers of the Intercontinental Championship and the United States Championship battle with each other. I do not why WWE has booked this feud but certainly they had better options available.
