As someone who was already a Lacey fan, it's nice seeing her hold her own like this in the feud. God see this is what happens when you take a minute to think up a comeback before hitting tweet instead of shitting out your first malformed thought and acting like you just performed a Mortal Kombat fatality when really you just jumped onto the table in the Applebees and threatened to pee on people. Evans with an actual goddamn comeback.

Yeah, Lacey shouldn't take it off her, but Becky's earning herself an ass whooping, if not by Lacey then someone else. Yup. That's why this Becky character is neat, her strength is also her biggest weakness. Running that mouth. If she wins or loses feuds because of it, it's all believable. Hell, if she hadn’t been running her mouth at Triple H and Stephanie when they were trying to get her to get her knee checked after the Rumble, and just gotten the knee checked, she would have gotten her one-on-one match with Rousey and Vince would have had no reason to suspend Lynch and give her title shot to Charlotte.

It's like if Austin would have just worn the damn suit.

Well, in nearly 30 years of watching wrestling, I can't say I've ever seen that used as a heel tactic before. The closest might be this doozy from Michael McGillicutty directed at Kaval: "I don't know whether to spank you or breastfeed you." .............. Warrior.

I wonder if this feud was chosen specifically because she can hold her own on Twitter. I know not everyone likes it but I'm down with these Twitter fights as it likely gives them way more freedom than a mic does these days.

It's just a bit weird because she's supposed to be a pure babyface and how she got to WM and ended up winning wasn't a pure babyface story. She's only Becky 2 Belts because the ref f***ed up and you can argue that for someone who complains about people being handed things, she was handed an opportunity at the Rumble. By no means am I trying to bring the mood of the thread down, though. This is so much better than the Ronda stuff since we're at least talking about characters. The key irony of Becky’s character (intentional or otherwise) is that she constantly complains about being overlooked and held back while also being given the single biggest push any woman has had in WWE history. Much of her booking over the last several months would once have been seen as sounding like fan fiction. Her balancing act between boasting how much Vince likes her and claiming the company is against her is an interesting one.

Wouldn't be if she was the same character she was back in September, but she's pretty much old Becky again with more attitude. The botched WM finish is making Ronda look even better, the more I think about it. Becky keeps taunting her and talking shit even though she never really beat her and Ronda the character has a legitimate gripe. If the goal is to get me to want to see Ronda come back and kill Becky, well, it's starting to work.

Her balancing act between boasting how much Vince likes her and claiming the company is against her is an interesting one. I think what really helps her here is that it used to be true. For a long time she was just kind of there as the number 2 face or Charlotte's friend, she even did a losing streak for a while. All that changed some time ago but those memories stick with people and so she's been able to leverage them even while being super pushed. I think she's smart enough to know that some of the underdog stuff has a shelf life which is why she's now moved on to talking about being willing to knock the heads off any woman who wants to step up.

If the goal is to get me to want to see Ronda come back and kill Becky, well, it's starting to work. To be fair, Becky invited Ronda to come back for a rematch whenever it suits her. So it's not like she's gloating without being ready to back it up. But Ronda's hand is definitely legit broken, her latest vlog shows her getting it X-rayed this week, and you can see the bruising and swelling. And I'm not sure she'd be around at the moment, even if that hadn't happened. I like Becky as a fighting champion who is not only willing to defend her belts, but also willing to call people out for a fight. It gives her a mean edge that still keeps some of The Man character intact.

She did say her intention is to get a reaction out of people whether they love her or hate her, so it probably is intentional to an extent. She has an incredibly sharp mind for wrestling.
Lacey should post a pic of the WM main event finish and use the hashtag #Becky2Count, though.

I haven't seen many matches from Lacey. The Ronda/Becky Twitter beef was bad, but we knew the match would likely be good.
The Twitter feud here is much better, I hope the matches can deliver.

Lacey's okay, still a bit green with more jitters on the main roster than she had on NXT. I think she'll iron those out and be just fine.
