Charlotte Flair vs. Shotzi

[2.0] "Match exactly to see Shotzi weak and Charlotte strong on the way to Wrestlemania 39, although it was necessary for the rivalry, I feel very sorry for how they handled Shotzi. One thing is certain in WWE, there are almost no Jobbers currently which leaves fans with a bad taste."

[4.0] "When she has the right partner/opponent, Shotzi looks better. This was not the case. She doesn't have any intensity, so bland, unexciting apart from her entrance. Charlotte did everything she could to make something out of this random match that only served as an excuse for having Charlotte wrestling before WM and having a generic promo with Rhea. (**)"

[3.0] "Very whatever match here. The match itself was very mid, but the missteps in the beginning set a bad tone that affected the rest of it. I know these two are capable of a better match, but this was just not it and it was only here to build Flair before facing Ripley at WrestleMania."

[3.0] "Shotzi doesn't do it for me. She is average at best. The pacing dragged a lot and the Rhea cameo was so predictably boring. Also Charlotte's selling could have been a lot better. Post match segment wasn't good either. *1/2"

[3.0] "How many years until people realize that Shotzi just can't wrestle ? She's more dangerous for herself than for her opponent. And since her return Charlotte has looked bad in the ring, wtf happenned to her ? She used to be one of the best in WWE"

[2.0] "Overly Pre Coordinated dogshit done with all the speed and fluidity of a double amputee underwater. Imagine the worst GCW indie bullshit match and now imagine 2 Luther's are the ones doing it. Pathetically bad"

[5.0] "Weakest match on the card but not as awful as people are making it out to be. I personally did not notice the slow motion sequences until I rewatched it after I saw this rating but that's probably just me. Shotzi is hit or miss and Charlotte typically can't pick up the slack of a lower level opponent because her selling is so spotty. The rana from the top was decent and Charlotte's chops near the end were good. Otherwise nothing notable. Shotzi works best in a tag team environment and should reunite with Tegan Nox ASAP. [**1/2]"

[6.0] "Honestly, I don't get why Charlotte Flair is being (falsely) blamed for this match when Shotzi Blackheart's matches generally miss more often than they hit. Anyway, I personally didn't mind the match itself. I thought it was decent enough (aside from some sloppy moments). However, there is SOME valid criticism though. Shotzi really needs to run and move much faster because it really DOES feel like her opponents are forced to slow down for her. I've seen Charlotte easily work and coordinate much faster with other opponents."

[2.0] "This actually accomplished the opposite effect of what they were going for... it made me less excited for the SD Women's title match at WM. Shotzi has not clicked at all on the main roster and needs to be in a tag team instead of wrestling singles matches"

[2.0] "It was like an out of body experience watching this match. What was going on? Why was Shotzi running like she was underwater? Charlootte too. They missed like 6 spots and everything else looked bad. The post match promos were pretty bad. Rhea/Charlotte feels cold."

[4.0] "Short and a waste of a match tbh. In storyline should could have gone against anyone on the roster and you put her against Shotzi, who is less than desirable in the ring."

[5.0] "I didn't hate this as much as others. Seemed like a perfectly fine match to me, though certainly nothing breathtaking or worthy of the main event. **1/2"

[4.0] "Boring and short, nothing was achieved here. This women's division really needs something new, Rhea must win at Wrestlemania."

[3.0] "It's Charlotte Flair in 2023, working with the same old opponents and doing nothing new - heck we all saw in 2021 how unmotivated she was with a new opponent. Can't wait for Rhea Ripley to destroy her at Mania."

[3.0] "Both wrestlers looked pretty robotic and formulaic. Charlotte got a bit smoother as the match went on, can't say I've seen much from Shotzi I like and I'm not a huge Charlotte fan either. Exists only to create a promo for the mania match."

[3.0] "Shotzi just isn't very good. She tries hard, I don't dispute that, but her offence always looks clumsy and she seems more of a danger to herself than anything else. Add that to the fact I don't think the crowd could have cared any less about this and you're left with something pretty flat."
