Okay, but:
* The typical face/heel dynamic is going to exist. Because now people love Becky and hate Charlotte.
* That would be really good for Becky. This was not supposed to be about Becky. I'm skeptical that they would change that.
* As I've said, the biggest loser in this, assuming that they don't just flat-out punish Becky for "sucking at her job" or something, is Charlotte. Because she no longer feels special. She feels like the female Roman Reigns. She feels secondary to Becky and Reigns in that sense now. You can't just un-fuck things.
If Charlotte gets the match against Ronda at WrestleMania now, fans are going to be far more obsessed about Charlotte getting the push than the drama of the match itself. WWE has fucked this potentially special event. It's all about who is getting the push now, and if WWE decides it's Charlotte, the fans are going to revolt.
No one is going to line up for Charlotte anymore. No one is going to give a shit about her going forward. Her "star power" has been completely rejected by this. No one is going to accept her as the top woman in WWE, maybe not ever again. Don't worry, she'll be around and jammed into an unnatural position, but it is unnatural because the company have fucked it.
It also doesn't undercut that this company was stupid enough to a) think it would work, and b) risk it even thinking it would work.
