They need to just announce the triple threat already.

Knowing WWE I feel like they're probably going to drag this out until the show after Fastlane, but maaaan this storyline is completely falling apart.

As it stands you've got Becky being an ineffectual moron attacking Ronda and Charlotte because she's dissatisfied with management, Ronda stumbling her way through promos and being more angry at the company than the woman who beat her with a crutch plus fighting the Riott Squad over and over for some reason, and Charlotte having seemingly no interest in the other two at all because she's already booked for WrestleMania and is just going to soak it in. It's a mess.

Why is Becky attacking Ronda anyway? Rousey has vouched for her and wants her in the match. It's Charlotte that took her spot. It's Vince that changed the match and suspended her. Attacking Rousey makes zero sense.

Yeah, that's a big part of what makes this whole thing confusing. Becky doesn't like Ronda, I get that, but... Ronda is on her side in this whole conflict and had nothing to do with her being booted from the match. Why isn't she attacking the McMahons? That might actually get shit accomplished.

It seems like the only reason Becky's blindly lashing out is going to work is because Ronda herself decided to directly stand up to them, it's just dumb.

I’m kind of worried they’re gonna do what they did with Taker/Cena last year and never actually announce it but make the match during the show.

Charlotte pulls out so she can defend her father's honor by challenging Batista at Wrestlemania.

Yep. Becky keeps looking stupid randomly attacking people and getting dragged out and Ronda's out there acting like she's cutting a Shakespeare-like promo and yet she's fumbling all the way through. Just announce the triple threat already.

You don't appreciate the raw elegance of "ginger douche"?

You're going against WWE Logic of "Drag this shit out until no one cares anymore".

The gap between the Rumble and Mania is too wide. It’s just too much time for the bookers to screw it up. Ditch Fastlane and move Mania back to mid March. It’s still a long wait, but it’s still there less weeks you have to stall.

And let's be realistic. They couldn't have done two and a half months of just promos and training montages without it getting boring. We still got 11 damn shows left to build this angle with, with Lynch and Flair both still technically being SmackDown talents.

Did Ronda give up the belt tonight? Is this the WWE's attempt at going for a competitive fight feel? 'I don't wanna fight the mandatory challenger, so I'll vacate the title instead'?

They're doing their level best to kill this angle. And the sad thing is, they're actually really trying to make it better, they just have no clue how to deal with something that is organically exciting and hot.

Ronda's trying too much on the mic. She's like a rapper who tries to pack so many words into a bar and it just doesn't fit right. She's just trash and it's like she gets worse the longer they have her say something.

Not sure if this match is still a lock,Becky might get deported since she is not a Us Citizen and she has criminal charges from her arrest Monday

Ronda is the one who is trying to get Becky in the ring. She isn’t helping her because she likes her, she’s doing it to get her hands on her. Becky knows this & keeps attacking her to get Ronda to use her stroke to get her reinstated. Charlotte is a heel & wants to win the easiest way possible.

Bingo--that moment after the Rumble was nice, but I kinda feel Becky smirking her way through every Ronda promo would have gotten old fast. And combine that with WWE wanting to heavily use Becky as 'the new Stone Cold', and this is the sorta booking we get as a consequence. Also, Becky attacking Ronda, whatever, but Becky attacking sweet gentle Natalya? 2Pawz demands vengeance.

Hopefully Charlotte will be a jerk about the situation on SDL tomorrow. (She wasn't on Raw tonight due to working a SDL house show.)

Pretty much this.

I think they put themselves in a rough spot because Becky is too popular to omit, but her coming back again and again like this is just silly. Staying gone isn't an option, but they need to stop integrating her the same fashion.

[carp (SPC, Itoh Respect Army)]

The important thing, I think we all need to remember here, is that Rhonda Rousey is an HONORABLE CHAMPION who is GOOD and HONORABLE and ONLY WANTS TO FIGHT THE BEST and SHOULD NOT BE BOOED do you hear me SHE SHOULD NOT BE BOOED
