I hate this 'booking shit as we go with no plan' stuff, I really do. The last 24 hours has been a mess. Some stuff has been out of their hands but other stuff just seems stupid, like they are trying to show 'hey, ANYTHING can happen in the WWE' but it comes off as messy and manic.

I wonder what it is about Becky that's got WWE actually rolling with her momentum that they wouldn't do for so many others in the past? I'm not complaining but it's pretty surreal how big a deal she's become so quickly.

It's really awesome, but at the same time if they did this for everyone who was getting over in spite of booking imagine where we'd be. I also wonder why they chose Becky to finally listen to the damn fans.

Ronda/Becky should absolutely main event WM. Becky is far and away the hottest star in the company right now, and Ronda is the biggest name they have.

"I did it for The Man." Triple H: "Vince, Nia Jax killed Becky Lynch's momentum and ruined all of our plans. There's no way we can save this..." Vince: "Yes there is! We'll just move Becky vs Ronda to the main event of Wrestlemania!" Triple H: "That's wonderful! This way Becky will get back her momentum and become even more of a star than she..." Vince: "No! This way people will stop hating on Nia and even start to love her even more, when they'll find out Becky got the main event because of her! Then, the following Wrestlemania we will set an even more spectacular main event: Nia Jax vs Charlotte, with Roman Reigns and Ric Flair at ringside! It's a Wrestlemania moment that writes himself!" Triple H: "...whatever."

It says a lot about WWE that we’re at a point of wondering why good work and overness with the crowd is being rewarded, seemingly, rather than punished or ignored.

What a twist of fate this is, Becky vs Ronda is your money match right now, Becky is the hottest act in the company and it makes so much sense to hang fire on this.
If they really want to get it over even more, they strip Becky of the Smackdown Womens Title because of her injuries and she goes all "Stone Cold" Becky, gets herself "sent home" returns as a surprise at the Royal Rumble, wins its and goes onto face Ronda at Wrestlemania. That would be an awesome storyline and build.
One thing I am noticing through is that RAW has a much stronger womens side at the minute, Sonya on the SDN team is piss poor and Charlotte's potential replacement is either Mandy, Peyton, Billie, Lana or Zelina. Ouch. They could do with calling up Nikki Cross right now.

To me it comes off VASTLY more interesting. I'll take random hot-shot booking over, "Too bad, Reigns / Lesnar is set in stone the night after Mania, now watch us drag this shit out for the next 371 days," any day of the week.

I haven’t seen Bryan smile that wide in a long time, so I’m not shocked one bit if he was the one who suggested the turn lmao

Ouch. They could do with calling up Nikki Cross right now. But that’s the thing, why call up Nikki Cross and have her be mistreated on the SDL side of the division? There’s a reason why those names are lumped in the “ouch” category. They hardly ever give those women something to sink their teeth into. Giving them zero to little screen time doesn’t help either. Say what you will about Mandy and Sonya, but they show the most potential out of all of those you listed. And yet it took them a whole couple of months to see that potential apparently since before this SS mini plot line they had them relegated to doing nothing.

Yeah, geez. She works hard to help put her best friend over in a three-month feud where she gets destroyed at every corner (including bumping her ass off for Becky at Evolution), and then misses out on her Mania main-event dream because Nia Jax decides to potato said friend for no reason, that's really rough. And as much as I like Becky, we haven't seen her work a big match against anyone who isn't Charlotte, so she's less proven in these situations.
That said, if they want to reward Becky's momentum, I do think a Ronda/Charlotte/Becky three-way match would be awesome and also make good thematic sense given the WM 32 triple-threat inaugurated the Raw Women's Championship, and the Summerslam three-way saw Becky's turn on Charlotte.

Dont get me wrong I think all of those women have potential, but they arent ready IMO to be the top stars in the divison, The IIconics have the potential to run with the Tag Titles when they are introduced, Mandy has the hot girl Trish Stratus potential, Sonya I feel is going to get lost seeing as Ronda, Shayna, Duke and Shafir have the whole MMA thing covered. I love Lana but just keep her with Rusev and the same with Vega.
I think Cross would bring a fresh new element to the division. Cross, Asuka, Naomi, Charlotte are all very different characters and I think if they stripped Becky and then did a 4 way match between these 4 at the next PPV you have something quite fresh.

I will be so happy for Becky if she main events mania, I dont even care about the result. No one will ever be able to take that away from those two if they do.

I kind of wonder where that'd leave the rest of the women if they do end up having Rousey / Becky main event (as they should I feel like, since really nothing on the table feels nearly as interesting). I guess a couple of them would be shoved into the SmackDown Women's match assuming they didn't make it title-for-title or something but beyond that... I dunno. I guess you could just do Asuka beating Charlotte this time and get something out of that, but I don't really know what actual intrigue there would be in that match at this point given it wasn't really that great, Asuka's streak was the main hook of it, and it was treated like a total afterthought with the immediate cut to Cena then Asuka disappearing for a month.
Part of me would kind of like to see Charlotte / Baszler. That could be pretty good.

I want to be happy about this, but the pessimist in me is terrified the plan will switch again.
But Becky in the Mania main event is something I never even dreamed of.

Also, its an amazing irony that with the timing of The Marine 6, you can argue that Becky's push was in part because of a WWE Studios movie.
