When she got going into the "I wasn't born to be a champion, I fought to be a champion" part of the speech she was really good. She's still a little patchy at times (I hate "come at me bro" for a start), but on the whole she's definitely one of the top when it comes to the women speaking. It seems to have become more obvious since the brand split, but she's surprisingly butch..which is sometimes a benefit to her promo.
One criticism which doesn't just go for her, but all the NXT call-ups....WHEN YOUR OPPONENT IS TALKING, YOU STOP TALKING. It's doing my head in when they start chipping in with rebuttals way too early, and it ruins the flow of promos. Who do they think they are, Stephanie McMahon?
I was also really impressed with Alexa. Her talking has always been her strong point, and she was so natural here and so believable. She's going to be a really good babyface one day. I hope her wrestling continues to improve.
Overall it was a really well written and performed exchange between the two.

I thought both Becky and Alexa's promos were superb. I've never paid much attention to Alexa before now but damn she's taken this SD opportunity and run with it.

I've got zero time for Becky and think she's annoying as f***, but she killed it. And that's Alexa's best work since coming to Smackdown. Great stuff from both.

She's the right mix of goofy and badass right now.

I didn't think it was anything special to be honest and I like Becky. Maybe I'm too much of a lazy jerk to enjoy people talking about how hard they worked to succeed.

It kind of amazes me that Becky was probably the least liked of the NXT girls when the Divas Revolution started but she's become arguably the most over. I always said she was the best one.And she is proving I didn't make a mistake saying that. Testify , Fan Dat's dem SHOULDER BOULDERS! <3

Sadly, they seem to have made up after. I was at the show and our walk back to where we parked takes us by the parking lot next to the arena where the talent park. So Alexa and Kallisto (in mask) come out together and go to their car. Along comes Becky a minute or so later. She comes to the rail and high-fives a few fans, thanking them for coming (but doesn't do photos or autographs, but still nice interaction) and climbs into the back seat and off they go. For the record, Alexa was driving (which is good because I'm not sure how some random police officer might react to a car driven by a masked guy pulling by might go over). Also saw a few others, including Dolph and Ryder who shared a ride, but the coolest was Rich Swann, who took his bag to his car and then came over to the rail and posed for photos with a ton of people and was very, very fan-friendly, chatting way with everyone. nah alexa clearly put her in her place. first alexa drives not becky- to show she's running the women's division and deciding the direction it will take to get to the hotel...er top. and alexa makes her sit in the back which perfectly suits what she said about becky always being second best and doesn;t deserve to sit in the front seat...er be the champ because she's bnot good enough. <nods>
