I haven't watched Raw yet, but based on the results I'm okay with it. I want the Liv Morgan heel stuff to simmer some more, let her build up and take out Becky and win the title. Make her the main big bad of the division (and she would look like a badass taking out two of the most popular women on the roster), and let her have a good run with the belt that doesn't involve Ronda goddam Rousey Exactly! 👆 I liked when she fought Nia like crazy before the match, too. Happy birthday to you J is Justice, what a flat ending to your birthday though! 😂

That finish was so dumb:
1. Having Becky go through the middle rope kills all tension because fans know that she is in no danger of being eliminated. And it makes her opponents look dumb.
2. They keep having Liv lose BR’s the same freaking way every time and it makes her look stupid.
3. Becky gets beaten up by both Piper and Nia, slammed into the steps, put through a table. But then magically recovers to take out Liv and Nia and then just runs around the arena celebrating. I hate Superman booking and it really does not fit Becky.

Didn’t watch the battle royal in full yet but Nia’s been fantastic since her return She sucked absolute dogshit tonight, dude. I wouldn't be shocked if we find out Ivy was put into concussion protocol after Nia swung her HEAD FIRST into the ring post at full force. Nia is less than worthless. She's an active detriment to the division. Triple H bringing her back was by far one of his worst decisions he's made so far as head of creative.

Becky winning the battle royal makes sense since Raw is really lacking when it comes to starpower with Rhea Ripley's injury. Also makes sense in terms of story with story beats such as this: https://www.instagram.com/p/C6FsfaYs4E- ......Liv is about to pull a "Chad Gable" very, very soon......

It'd be risky taking it from just about anyone but Nia just flopped her around like it was nothing then casually dropped her with zero protection.

I’ll believe that she’ll have a good payoff when WWE gives me a reason to think that. My patience is wearing thin here.

The battle Royal imo was fun as hell with Chelsea Green being the MVP here. Didn’t think Nia was as bad as everyone making her out to be. the table not breaking on cue isn’t exactly Nia’s fault imo. And to me the right person won. Liv winning the belt is to to soon for her imo. She needs a better payoff then winning a random battle Royal for the belt

I don't think Becky is going to have a very long reign with the belt. She'll drop it to Liv sooner than later.

Liv was still very much acting like a Face when she came out for the battle royal. She's not winning the title until she goes full-on Heel.

Seems like every Women's Rumble or Battle Royal ends with a 1-2 min spot on the apron.

Also can WWE stop having her lose Battle Royales in the same freaking way Every time. She looks like an idiot.

I’ll reserve my opinion on tonight’s match (it wouldn’t be the first time her faults were exaggerated here), but still doesn’t change that she’s been a great addition since her return, both as a character and in-ring. She’s worlds better than when she left.

Is Liv incapable of taking an over the top rope bump so they have to do the apron finish every time with her

It made total sense and it would’ve furthered the story of Liv vs Rhea to put the belt on Liv. So yeah let’s put it on Becky 🙄

It’s ironic that fans are bending over backwards to try and defend Triple H for doing the exact same things that they crapped on Vince for doing for years.

If she's out a while longer yet, they might feel it makes more sense to dive deeper into Liv as a heel (and possibly aligning herself with Dom) first before she screws over Becky for the belt, setting up a blood feud upon Rhea's return.
It was a rough match at points and some of the overbooking was a bit much (having Piper beat up Becky outside the ring even before the Nia stuff), but the crowd was at least happy for Becky to get the title.

I think Liv losing now was the right call, if she won the battle royal now it'd just come off like a fluke while actually directly beating Becky for it will do more for her in the long run plus it gives good reason for her character to grow more heelish, just the match itself sucked.
