It was definitely underhanded. She shook her hand like it was going to be a fair fight then cheap shotted her. It was 100% jerk behaviour. Well, then it’s a failure on commentary’s part to not sell it as such at the time it happened, because it never came across that way. Yep. They were too busy selling as a big moment, because that’s all they care about. WWE: no storylines, just vibes.

Week 1: “...So she’s just doing McGregor lines verbatim, now?”
No direct comments about Belair given that you already had the actual goon squad of the division in Carmella and Vega doing a run-in before Lynch could respond to her... Belair seemed way too normal all things considered, though... I don’t know. This whole thing doesn’t leave her with a lot of room to be angry about it.
Verdict: Too vanilla of an angle this week to make judgments one way or the other.

It REALLY felt like the start of the Orton/Christian feud in 2011 tonight for me, except with the Orton role being the one to actually feel like it's the one getting the heel turn.

Becky looks like she absolutely cannot be f***ed to deal with anyone in the division right now
And given the Smackdown Women's booking... why should she? The only threat within it she just beat in 20 seconds!
If only they had people like Toni Storm or Liv Morgan they could easily built up or have been building up for weeks... nah keep throwing Zelina Vega out there who has zero wins since she returned but keeps DEMANDING title matches! Such good booking...

So we’ll get some legitimately great matches, and Belair may win the belt back on a technicality of a match stip, but Lynch wins overall?

It’s weird they didn’t address it much considering that was what the website was basically promoting what would happen from the preview for the show. But, well, the lack of communication between the website and the actual product is a decades long tale so it shouldn’t really been surprising.

Well the crowd did not boo her.
In fact the only thing they really booed was when the Summerslam match was mentioned
That’s very telling.

Arkansas is a state that was cheering Cena when he was in his most hated. I know because I live here and in the city SD was at tonight. We don't really boo much here.

To get booed there she'd have to say she likes Houston Nutt.

I can buy the idea they were just happy to have a show again. I do think it’s interesting people booed the match, though. Like they want to cheer Becky but didn’t like how it went down. You know, exactly how people predicted that would happen.

There’s always those kinds of cities on the loop. I think it was Hershey, PA (not 100% certain on that) that kept the Cena face run on track in like 2005 by giving him the megaface pops when it was starting to get real bad for him and they may have been weighing up a heel turn.

People cheering Becky and booing the result reminds me of the bind WWE put themselves in post Reigns winning the Rumble, where they dabbled with trying to repeat the Bryan 2014 angle, but canonically in the 2015 Rumble Bryan just lost like a loser, nobody screwed him over. The narrative just sucked and it's hard to build a storyline around "you got screwed over by the writing"

So, judging by the fact that this thread wasn't bumped the instant the segment finished, nothing particularly egregious was said this week either.

It is very noisy in New York sometimes. He also has to take some time to worship the Taz shrine he has before he goes to bed.

Becky didn't really get booed from what I could hear, but Bianca at least had plenty of people chanting "EST!" which was nice. Also, because it needs to be said again, Bianca's improved so much on the mic.

And this is coming from his dad being Taz. And I love Taz.
