They have misjudged, misunderstood, and miscalculated nearly everything possible in Charlotte's entire WWE career lmfao.
As soon as they started padding her stats within her first main roster year against Sasha to get her to have close to her dad's accolades, people didn't want to cheer her. Despite what the "stans" would have you think, most people aren't actually that stupid and can see when you're doing shit to artificially inflate someone's stock.
The Wrestlemania 3-Way, beating Asuka twice at WM, constantly going over Sasha on every PPV just to drop it a week before PPV on a Monday to re-win it at a "first ever" PPV again and again, and now in the past few years, she fucks off, comes back, immediately inserts herself into the title picture, wins, drops the title, then fucks off again for months at a time.
Injuries suck, it sucks it happened to her, it sucks that sidelined her, but it's not the first extended break she's come back from, and it's not the first she's come back from to immediately be in the title picture, and in this case, arguably taking a spot from 29 other people who've been working their asses off while she was out.
It doesn't help that the entire time leading up to her return, every vignette and "returning soon" video has been her being the same "Queen" heel talking "I'm the best" yada yada shit she's had since the made her Sasha's foil on the main roster.
Being an established heel for nearly a decade then coming out and being like "golly guys, I got hurt and wasn't sure I'd be back" as if that's gonna garner a Daniel Brian-esque face pop or some shit is an INSANE miscalculation on WWE's part, and it's crazy they thought this would be a good idea, especially AFTER the Rumble where a bunch of much-more cheered people were eliminated for her to win lmao.
This should've been a behind the scenes interview spot or something, expecting anything other than boos in this moment is dumb even if you remove like 80% of the context involved.
Charlotte Flair is cutting a heartfelt promo about her career-threatening injury last year, and the fans in Cleveland are booing her.
What the f*ck? I truly feel bad for her, man.
