For those that have asked about Charlotte’s status with WWE, everything is fine. Several readers emailed us asking if Charlotte’s loss to Sasha Banks was because Charlotte had decided to take time off or if she’s being punished for something. Neither is the case.
The title change on Raw was decided on because they wanted to do something big to kick start the first post-brand split Raw and they were up against the Democratic National Convention. The idea is to do something big each week for the next few weeks. That’s the reason why the held off on Brock Lesnar’s return for this coming Monday. Lesnar was originally set to return last week during the draft on Smackdown and then plans changed and he was pulled from all TV leading up to SummerSlam. Plans changed again and the decision was made to bring him back on Monday’s Raw.
I was also told that Heath Slater will be used on Raw and Smackdown for the next couple of weeks and he will play up the “free agent” storyline. Management is said to be very happy with him because he never complains and he can do anything asked of him by creative. He will be used to help introduce the returning veterans that we’ve talked about.
Anyway, in regards to Charlotte, things are fine and she is not taking time off. The plan is for her to challenge Sasha Banks for the Women’s title at SummerSlam.
