BIG L. “We want Sasha” were chants that they made sure to quiet in favor of Charlotte.They wanted others to go over her constantly because they didn’t want her to be the face. All the “1st Evers” in the world will never make up for bad booking.But her talent shined through

This was a big loss to the WWE I promise u, like she carried her weight well and her matches were always legendary and the funny thing is even when she wasn’t in the title picture she delivered.

Won't hear Michael Cole say IT'S BOSS TIME! Sad…she's really gone.
