#2 WWE booked Ric Flair to cost Charlotte her match for the second week running
This week on WWE RAW Ric Flair betrayed his daughter yet again when he cost her the match against Lacey Evans by tripping her up, just like he did last week.

On last week's show, Ric Flair tripped Charlotte during her match, which allowed Peyton Royce to pin her. After the match, Charlotte berated her Father and sent him packing. However, they seemed to patch thing up the following day on social media. But the "Dirtiest Player in the Game" lived up to his moniker this week when he deceived his daughter and sided with the "Sassy Southern Belle" Lacey Evans.
Mid-way through the match Flair's music hit and he jived his way down to the ring, much to the visible dismay of Charlotte. Charlotte had the match under control and seemingly won when she hit Natural Selection, but Ric Flair placed Evans' foot on the rope, saving her from the jaws of defeat. Charlotte confronted Flair, who denied his involvement, before confirming the betrayal by tripping her up and holding her feet down, allowing Evans to claim victory.
Flair and Evans celebrated on the ramp as Charlotte, and the WWE Universe, looked on in bewilderment.
Charlotte has now lost two matches in a row because of her Father's actions. This is bizarre and unprecedented booking, especially in the case of the most decorated woman in WWE history, who has been booked strongly ever since her main roster debut in 2015. "The Queen" hasn't been pinned in consecutive matches since 2019, one of which was a handicap match.
When Charlotte returned last month at WWE TLC she was portrayed as the returning Queen and, as the tag team title win would prove, conquering hero. Since then, WWE has placed her on a merry-go-round of strange angles and booking decisions.
It seems as though WWE is booking Charlotte in a feud with Lacey Evans and her Father. However, it remains bizarre because of the lack of significant build and explanation thus far.
