When Dana Brooke first debuted on the main roster, her impact was less than stellar and disaster first struck when her original partner Emma was struck down with an injury.

Now a number of months in, her in-ring work is yet to improve and the pairing between her and Charlotte is not helping either of the stars.

It seems her career is going from bad to worse as from a questionable debut; her ability to perform is also being brought into question.

Vince McMahon not a fan

The Boss has for the past two weeks been absent from WWE for the past weeks has not let his lack of presence keep him from making tabs on his performers.

Brooke is one superstar who Vince McMahon reportedly is 'not sold' on and is not in favor of her performing in the ring on television after viewing one of her most recent bouts.

Triple H's decision making was brought into question by the head of the wrestling promotion, as he was the one who gave the go ahead to call her up.

Following her recent match with Sasha Banks on Monday Night Raw, Mr. McMahon reviewed the match and feels she is not ready to compete on television.

As noted above the 70-year-old wrestling tycoon has been absent from WWE television for the past two weeks with the reason still unclear.

While this is no cause for concern, the veteran is still present in production meetings and communicated with backstage via television.

Meanwhile despite Brooke's ability causing concern, this weeks SmackDown Live drew a smaller audience than the previous week.

For the August 9 show the blue brand accumulated 2.455 million viewers in the main event featuring Dean Ambrose and Dolph Ziggler versus The Wyatt Family while last weeks figures were set at 2.681 million for the finale of the show.
