8 booking mistakes WWE must avoid at Survivor Series 2017

Mistake 4: Carmella not cashing in Money in the Bank

Now's the time.

I expect Charlotte Flair to beat Alexa Bliss in their champion vs. champion match. The sudden title change sets such a victory up. Yet, the match itself isn't the only story here. Carmella still looms with her Money in the Bank contract and if ever there were a time for her to make huge impact cashing it in, the time would be now.

With the release of James Ellsworth, Carmella's act needs a tune-up. He was the reason for most of her heat, and without him, she could easily flounder. Cashing in here, after Charlotte had such a touching moment with her father only days beforehand, would generate nuclear heat and give the babyface a need for revenge. It would be the perfect WrestleMania feud, though with the Horsewomen match purported to be happening there, it might have to be put on hold.

Either way, it would establish Carmella as the top female heel on SmackDown, a position she'd be unlikely to obtain otherwise in the absence of Ellsworth. I normally dislike WWE's obsession with cheap heat, but this is a time where it actually makes sense.
