WWE Roadblock 2016: Why Charlotte Needs to Win
With Charlotte set to face her longtime rival Sasha Banks at WWE RoadBlock: End of the Line, she needs to leave the iron man match victorious.
For the last year, the Women’s Revolution has provided fans with some of the most entertaining matches of the year. The two women who have been at the forefront of the revolution and providing fans with fantastic bouts are Charlotte and Sasha Banks. Since the Summer, these two have been battling for the Women’s Championship. Neither have been able to put the other in their past as the title has changed numerous times in the last few months.
Sasha Banks has won the title three times, winning the belt from Charlotte, three times on RAW. While The Queen has been able to win back the belt two times from Banks, doing so at Summerslam, and then in the first ever women’s Hell in a Cell match.
Their most recent clash was on RAW in an epic Falls Count Anywhere Match, which ended with Banks winning the match in the crowd, claiming her third reign as women’s champion. The two are set to make history once more as they are scheduled to face in the second ever women’s Iron Man match to occur.
Banks has experience in the match type as she and Bayley competed in an Iron Man match down in NXT, which was won by the latter. With Banks having the experience and the momentum many feel she will win, however Charlotte should leave Roadblock as champion.
Charlotte is one of the few superstars on the roster who is a heel and genuinely gets legit heat from the crowd. She knows how to get the fans to truly hate her and she embraces the fact that they can’t stand her. This could be seen with her slapping her Hall of Fame father, Ric Flair on Raw. Heels like Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho get cheers from the crowd, but The Dirtiest Girl in the Game gets legit boos from everyone.
Charlotte winning the championship would also keep intact her ever impressive undefeated streak on pay-per-views. Her only loss came at Battleground in a tag team match.
Her streak should come to an end but not at a forgetful show like WWE Roadblock it should happen on a bigger stage like WrestleMania. The Queen finally being dethroned on PPV should be saved for a big and memorable moment. With Bayley eventually being in the title picture, The Hugger should be the one to end her undefeated streak. Charlotte on top of the world and undefeated going into WreslteMania set to face the underdog in Bayley would set up a great storyline.
With WrestleMania season coming soon it makes more sense for the heel to reign as champion then the face. With RAW having more top females who are faces, it makes more sense for Charlotte to win the belt back.
Sasha Banks would have no one to work with as both Dana Brooke and Nia Jax are not ready yet to be in the title picture. Charlotte, on the other hand, could finish up a feud with Sasha Banks then clash with a returning Paige, and then head into WrestleMania to face Bayley.
While it might not be the popular decision with the fans as the belt has changed hands numerous times in the last few months, the smart move at WWE Roadblock is to have Charlotte defeat Sasha Banks and reclaim her throne and begin her fourth reign as champion.
