In case you haven't guessed, the decision to put to the SmackDown Women's Championship on Charlotte was made just hours to the broadcast going on air. Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer discussed this today:
“Everything in this program has constantly been shifted and changed. So like yeah this is obviously a response to something however Vince woke up and you know… now the idea of this… the idea of both belts at stake or both belts involved in this match is not new, okay? But, Vince decided to go with it today.”
“It’s not like someone came up with this idea this afternoon and Vince goes, ‘Great idea.’ This has been around, I mean it was around… I don’t know. I remember someone sent me a thing and was like, ‘Oh what do you think of this idea?’ This wasn’t even someone important at all, but it was out. The decision was made today, so yeah. People saying there’s no storyline build, well, they weren’t even going to do it until today. So how’s it going to be a storyline build when you change direction again?”
