Dana Brooke Turns On Charlotte

Dana Brooke has been Charlotte's sidekick since last year. At first, the relationship was good. No issues between the two. Of course, Dana often proved to be a poor lackey. This led to Charlotte eventually pushing around her sidekick. On Raw this week, Dana Brooke finally snapped and attacked Charlotte.

This is a fine story for Charlotte outside of the title scene. Problem is, she is currently still in the title scene. And this is Wrestlemania season. Again, I am all for the WWE doing this, but now is not the time for it. This Wrestlemania season is just filled with mostly bad feuds, for various reasons. Raw's women's title feud was better than Smackdown's women's title feud, but it still had some issues. One of the major issues was the fact that it was another multi-woman match, killing the personal feel that Wrestlemania feuds should have. To make matters worse, the WWE decides to do this now. This is a distraction. Instead of focusing on Charlotte vs. Bayley vs. Sasha Banks, the WWE throws this into the pot. It hurts the build for the match.

I am not going to say it is pointless to turn Dana Brooke face. If the WWE is serious about Sasha Banks going heel, they desperately need to turn someone face. I can see what they are doing.

But did they need to do it now? Why not wait for the night after Wrestlemania? Have Dana Brooke accidentally cost Charlotte the match at Wrestlemania. Charlotte then chews Dana out on Raw the next night. Dana finally has enough and snaps.

As for Sasha turning heel, that could happen at Wrestlemania. Or let Bayley have a feud with Nia Jax after Wrestlemania, with Sasha Banks in the picture. Sasha then turns on Bayley when that feud concludes. There are multiple ways to go with this.

Another issue, what kind of face will Dana Brooke make? She is not good in the ring at all. The face style, especially for most of the women, involves high-energy and relying on agility. Dana looks sloppy even as a heel. The face style is not going to help her. There can be some ugly matches to come involving Dana Brooke. The WWE will probably limit her.

In terms of overness, I am not ready to say Dana Brooke will be a great face just off of watching how fans reacted to her on Raw. A lot of fans out there still love a good catfight or brawl. She's not going to be able to do that every night. Will she be able to sustain a strong connection with the fans? Or will her sloppiness hurt her?
