Y'know, Becky vs. HHH is a match I'd be down for.

As I said in the live thread of tonight, say what you will, but it’s working. The rehash is working. The crowds are becoming more and more behind her and these two segments have been proof of it. The crowd love Becky and will only gravitate to her more as The Man against the system. I personally don’t care if it’s a rehash as it’s working and building Becky up more and more. Hell, the crowd went ballistic for her slapping HHH and taking down Stephanie.

The Hunter promo was really good, so give it to Rousey who needs to have some semblance of being over in this feud. Rousey telling Becky that the reason she won’t go to the doctor to get cleared is out of fear actually resonates since she’s the champion. Hunter isn’t the heel here and isn’t even close to being as over as Becky in this story.
Lots of good stuff that won’t be remembered in two weeks.

Wouldn't be the first time she's stunned someone. And she can claim the moniker of the People's Champ, while she's at it, too. Her Stunner looks good, but her People's Elbow is adorably shitty. I don't know it looks alright. The fact that it's moving at about 2x speed probably does it no favours. If the gif was at normal speed it might look better.

I really liked the stuff from yesterday between Becky/Steph/Ronda. The only real dilemma is continuity, because yeah, Stephanie's need for a doctor's appraisal is hard to buy since they never really do stuff like that, and I really liked Ronda going off on Becky because now her stubbornness has the potential to affect Ronda's pay per view money, only her thing about Becky being unprofessional rings hollow because she was routinely putting the boss in armbars when she'd get the chance. Good stuff in a bubble but continuity problems as usual. But this is the main event of Mania. A random Raw match, it's fine, but the main event of Mania is a different issue. And they know that the crowds aren't going to cheer Ronda over Becky, so they're having her be a bit more heelish, so she starts to act like a hypocrite.

And they know that the crowds aren't going to cheer Ronda over Becky, so they're having her be a bit more heelish, so she starts to act like a hypocrite. I don't think that's it. They're going full on, 'Stone Cold Becky, anti-authority rebel'. Triple H and Stephanie are well aware of how their on-air characters come across, and no matter how reasonable they're appearing to be, they're always lying hypocrites. They're just trying to make Becky even more of an underdog - threatening to take the match away from her, claiming she's scared of Ronda, stacking up The Odds against her. The issue they have is, Becky has nothing to gain from going on TV and wrestling matches, between now and Wrestlemania. What's the point of putting her in the ring with Peyton Royce or Mandy Rose? But they need to have her on the show, to keep her white hot and sell the Mania match. This injury angle can get them through another couple of weeks, at least. And they may have Charlotte snap even further and try to put Becky out of action (which would probably be the regrettable pretext for putting Charlotte into the match with Becky and Ronda) and off TV for another couple of weeks.

The angle probably has a touch of truth to it. With the match a near lock to main event, Beckys concussion history and Rondas wear and tear from her MMA days I'd guess both are going to be doing the bare minimum in ring between now and the big day.

Well HHH always found a way to involve himself in whatever the hottest thing was sadly now his wife is doing the same. And he always put the younger talent over when he did except for Punk. Much like Stephanie did here when she took the punch and beatdown. People can change for the better, and that includes Hunter. He isn’t the same dude as he was 10 or 20 years ago and it shows with the way he bonds over his NXT talent and puts them over. Not to mention that Stephanie really isn’t as egotistical as her TV personality let’s her out to be. It doesn't matter if he win or lose. He has been taking the spotlight off new deserving people. One of the reasons they don't have any stars is that HHH and his ilk has been featuring themselves instead of the talent a decade past his sell-by date.

I think you might be onto something there. Wouldn't surprise me if they are using this storyline injury to greatly reduce the risk of a legit injury by not having Becky wrestle. They're pulling her from house show appearances too which sucks for people going to those shows since she's one of their big draws but at the same time you can understand them wanting to avoid another Nia Jax situation and having her suffer a bad injury at a meaningless house show that will put the main event of WrestleMania at risk. It seems like they are being somewhat cautions with Ronda too as even too she wrestled twice on Raw she won very quickly in both matches and didn't take any bumps. I definitely understand the kid glove treatment if that's what going on and think they should continue with it. Do what you have to do whether be just having them only do promos, wrestling only short matches, or cutting down on house show appearances for both because an injury to either one at this point would be disastrous and unfixable.

WON this week said Becky/Stephanie is one match that's potentially happening at Summerslam. It's said it's not a done deal but it's being discussed.
