I mean isn’t the Raw division that needs more depth? Isn’t that the title that she had last held and didn’t lose? Why knee cap Bianca when she’s over as a face while Nikki ASH is getting mixed reactions? Smackdown still had plenty of women that could’ve stepped in for Sasha.

Because FOX. And maybe because husband.

Her husband is on SD and I assume Fox wants her
Fox making out like bandits with Edge, Cena, and now what looks like Becky and Lesnar

Because FOX. And maybe because husband. Oh that makes sense. I may not agree with it but when you factor those variables and Vince appeasing folks it’s a logical guess. That’s got to suck for Bianca. Total collateral damage. To go from being likely scheduled to beat Sasha again to dropping the belt to Becky with no notice? Then if she turns around and feuds with Becky, having to turn heel, and burn all that good will after working for months to get over as face? A program that will likely be lopsided in favor of Becky? Yikes 😬 |

Probably a blessing in disguise for Liv Morgan fans if you think about it. If she won the briefcase and cashed in on Bianca like Nikki did, Becky would have derailed her career tonight. While I’m not betting $5.00 on it, she might still have hope yet if she wins Queen of the Ring or wins the Royal Rumble to establish herself as a legitimate opponent. But Vince thinks as far as the end of his nose, so he’ll just ignore the fact that she’s a sentimental favourite.
Maybe if she sticks around for a decade, she’ll get a “thanks for your service” tag team title run with another washed up veteran who doesn’t know when to quit.

The Raw division actually has some decent depth to it at the moment. Smackdown's has potential but they also only rarely use some of their women, like Toni getting a debut win and disappearing for weeks afterward.

If I remember, there was a general mandate about not splitting couples up as of a few years ago. I don't know how much they've kept to it since, especially during the pandemic era, but with things going back on the road again, that might be a stronger reasoning. Also Sasha is now some kind of gone, and Bayley is out for long-term injury anyway. Might be the roster in bigger need.

Both divisions could really use her, but Smackdown definitely needs her more, especially if Sasha is out the door.

Maybe if she sticks around for a decade, she’ll get a “thanks for your service” tag team title run with another washed up veteran who doesn’t know when to quit. I really hope it ends up being worth it for Liv someday. I've never understood why they've always had such a bug up their ass about ever doing anything with her. Gets a huge pop on the MITB go home show with "you deserve it chant" and everyone is buzzing about her. What do they do to follow up on that? Have her not win and then take her off TV for over a month. As much as the Nikki Cross experiment was a disaster I guess she did at least win the belt. Tis better to have love and lost it then to never have loved at all. Now that I think about it a heel Becky vs. Liv feud would have a lot of potential with Becky now being the chose one and going against basically what she used to be in the underutilized girl who keeps getting held back and never getting her due. Granted Becky even pre mega push was given a lot more then Liv ever has but it would still make an interesting story I think. Also you would need the fans to boo Becky which just isn't happening. |

I would have had her return and send Eva and Alexa to the shadow realm. That would have been a much better start to her return. She can still go to SD afterwards.

I wouldn't hold my breath on Liv Morgan getting a major accolade any time soon, to be honest. They aren't interested in taking her seriously it seems. I imagine the Queen of the Ring winner will probably get a title shot though, assuming the champions aren't in it (and they shouldn't be imo). If that's the case, the only real women I can see winning are Bianca or Asuka. They'll want to give the first win to a major name. That hopefully isn't a horsewoman. |

Fox was mad that WWE refused to even try signing CM Punk. giving them Becky is the band-aid.

The one good thing is that she and Charlotte are on different rosters. Yeah it's been a long time but, that's a good thing. Their feud was kinda like the clone saga. Initially, it was awesome and critically loved but then the folks in charge saw dollar signs and forced them to keep it going long past the point that it made sense and now it's a little tainted.

I figured Becky would be returning to SD since Seth's there and WWE's back on the road again, but I probably wouldn't have complained that much if she showed up and beat Charlotte or Nikki A.S.S. (who I like, but let's face it, the gimmick hasn't caught on) for the title.
