Charlotte Flair is one of the best female performers in the world and few would argue her in-ring credibility. Charlotte will defend her SmackDown Women’s Championship against Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania 38. That being said, she might not be the most giving in the ring.
WWE recently filmed a segment involving Charlotte, Rousey, Naomi and Sonya Deville. The segment was taped yesterday and will air as part of the go-home episode of SmackDown next Friday.
At one point during the segment, Ronda grabs Charlotte by the hair and shoves her onto the table. It looks like the champion missed her cue as she clearly botched the spot, as seen in cam footage.
Fans were quick to drag “The Queen” on Twitter for failing to perform the spot correctly. One pointed out that this was the second time Charlotte had ‘intentionally’ botched a spot.
Another said WWE would have to make good use of their camera angles to cover the botched spot or the audience would clearly see through it. Check out the video below:

Charlotte sandbags a lot to make the other girls look bad

Forget suplex city….that’s botch city, USA. My beat is going to be their use of camera shots. Whenever shot abruptly goes to another camera, I know a botch happened. Like when Becky literally fell on her ass in her Liv promo
