So why was Becky Hogan trending on Twitter all day long?
I'm not up to date on things, but it seems Twitter has turned on Becky?
5 years ago, I could not have IMAGINED this.

Because Liv stans on twitter are nuts and think Becky politcked her way into getting the title. Ignore the fact that Liv is likely getting the title from Becky in a couple of months anyways, and probably dropping it very soon after to Rhea. Nevermind the fact that Liv cannot carry a division at all, and should be grateful she is even getting a short run with the title (assuming it happens). Because this "Liv Morgan Revenge Tour" stuff has been incredibly cold outside of last week. Where Liv got absolutely no reaction last night.

Interesting, usually the bad takes do come from X and I notice after that then seep into the Reddit on Wrestling board too. I'm still very surprised the amount of people who turned their back on Becky.

I thought the match was fine! Then again I wasn’t optimistic going in because it was a battle royal where only three people possibly had a chance of winning.
Becky isn’t an exciting choice to win but she makes sense as the biggest star with a successful book that she’s still doing press for. There’s multiple directions they can go from here, and I’d love this to be similar to her run with the NXT Womens title where she faced off against less showcased women (though it’d be great if they could then follow that up).
The RAW Womens division really needs a boost; consistent booking and care. Hopeful for where things go from here

I think people really wanted a new champion right now instead of in a few weeks but I'm also surprised by the reaction. If there was no obvious plan for Liv or other people to get the title I'd be more sympathetic to having one of the four horsewomen win another title but like... she's clearly losing it asap?

It's like a bottomless pit of jerks from what I can tell.

It's only part of the audience. Of course, this isn't entirely a surprise. The way Rhea/Becky played out was a little like Charlotte/Becky in 2018, where fans genuinely still liked the face (Charlotte in 2018, Becky in 2024) when they were facing anyone else, but went for their main opponent (Becky in 2018, Rhea in 2024) instead.

There's wanting someone else to win, and there's whatever this stan bullshit is that these maniacs do where they just keep lying to themselves until they're completely detached from logic and reality and they feel like it's OK to, for example, wish harm upon goddamn CHILDREN because of the results of a fake wrestling match. They act like it's f***in' REAL, and not in the sense of "I feel bad for fictional television character Liv Morgan coming up short, and thus am emotionally invested in her character's story", in the sense of "Real person Gionna Daddio should be legitimately offended that she isn't booked to win every fake wrestling match and fake championship belt, probably because I, the delusional stan, find her the most sexually attractive". We as a fanbase have allowed this shit to go on unchecked too long.

I have nothing against Becky winning but this was absoloutley the break case in emergency safe choice.
I agree with what someone said earlier this was the chance for even just 1 or 2 weeks to experiment and see how the crowd would react to someone completely unexpected winning because it is not like the winner would be beating anyone 1 on 1.
Hell and if the audience latches on strongly in those 2 or so weeks then you stumbled into a new star of the division.
If anything going by the discourse atleast online the Becky choice was not the right one in this circumstance because again while she has her fans she is the safe but boring choice.

I think the double elimination spot should have happened so that Liv coming up short would have felt different this time, then she could beat Becky for the vacant title at Backlash.

A battle Royale is a perfect win for her character and it has some legs for a one to two months reign of her shenanigans.

I think people just found this to be a boring choice. They wanted someone different to win. This was also the "safe choice," giving the circumstances. Becky had to come back from her "after WrestleMania" vacation, so I don't see her sticking around too long. The RAW womans division needs star power at the moment considering Rhea is out for a few months. Becky seems like he easy choice, at least for now. Liv can win the belt down the line. And Liv was never beating Rhea, so even if they faced each other, Rhea would have retained. Now Liv has a fighting chance of winning the belt, because she was NEVER beating "Mami."

You go from a huge star in Rhea Ripley, to Chelsea "hasn't won a match in 6 months" Green.

I would have laughed and laughed and laughed if they'd done a "Liv and Becky eliminate each other while Chelsea is knocked out in the corner" spot to give Chelsea the win.

It says a lot about how cool the reaction has been to Liv Morgan despite: - she got the "surprise return no. 30 entrant at the Royal Rumble" spot - she was the last woman eliminated in the women's Rumble match, eliminating Jade Cargill in the process - she was the runner-up in the women's Elimination Chamber match, eliminating Tiffany Stratton and Bianca Belair in the process - she was a featured player in the build to the Women's World Championship match at WrestleMania XL - she took out year-long defending champion and burgeoning fan favorite Rhea Ripley I think she needs to be drafted to SmackDown and to get a fresh set of opponents. Her Raw return and "Revenge Tour" have really fallen flat thus far.

I really like Becky but it probably would have been best to go with someone experimental. I wonder if it was Drew or Seth with the consolation title if things would have gone different. Perhaps they felt two new untested champs was too much? However, they have no shortage of stars to counter that.

The way the match was set up pretty much told me that Becky wasn't getting eliminated either way, because Liv f***ed up the spot apparently. She sent Becky through the second rope, and you could hear a ref yelling at her to toss Becky back into the ring to correct the spot, but she had completely ignored it. Man, what a fall from grace that would have been for the woman's division. You go from a huge star in Rhea Ripley, to Chelsea "hasn't won a match in 6 months" Green. And I disagree, they had jinder hold the belt. They had Jinder holding the title because WWE was trying to do a huge marketing push into India at the time, not realizing that the market is wildly unprofitable.
