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. 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. Even then though the logic... doesn't really make sense? It's dependent on quite a few things that just don't click. Why does Becky keep attacking Charlotte as well then if Charlotte clearly doesn't care? What's to say Ronda wouldn't be satisfied with waiting until after the suspension's up? What if she managed to seriously hurt Ronda when she was smacking her with a crutch? Why did Becky make such a big thing about how she'd ruin Triple H and Stephanie if they tried to screw her and yet is doing absolutely nothing to Vince? What if the McMahons see Ronda as disposable as well and end up just making the main event Charlotte / Asuka or something? Like, it's clear that what you're saying is the flow the story is taking, I'll grant that, but the characterization and logic don't track. And for that matter that's not how Ronda was approaching the subject herself. Her outrage tonight was over not getting to fight the best and it being a disgrace to the belt, not over wanting to get revenge on Becky.

Worth remembering that if rumours are true, part of the reason for these story issues is that Vince insisted Becky had to win the Rumble, so rather than Becky being cheated out of that and having to work her way back into the match, she had to get put in and taken out and now trying to get back in.

It’s sad they tricked the crowd into wanting a Triple Threat instead of Ronda vs Becky.
But at least Charlotte is a heel, something she is pretty damn good at.

I think part of Rousey's promo basically spoiled it being a triple threat when she was telling Steph to think of her daughters and think about what it means to her and Becky and Charlotte. I still want one on one but at this point I just want creative to get their heads out of their asses. Do not screw up a sure thing.

The more this goes on the more I feel like Ronda is the one that should have nothing to do with this match, not Charlotte.

I was worried they might book a Four Way with Steph.
They wouldn’t do that to us, would they?

Yeah, this thing is losing steam. I did not want the McMahons attached to this at all, and I'm not feeling the injury/suspended angle. I feel like they could've done the whole anti-hero thing and had Becky keep invading Raw, with security guards and things of that nature since she's on invading from SDL, without all the rest of it.

The way things stand right now, it’s only Rousey, the rookie of the three with less than one year of experience, that has a full TV presence in terms of matches and promos and, thus, carrying the bulk of the feud. Neither Charlotte or Lynch have wrestled on TV since the Rumble, so both are limited to promo work and from there Lynch is limited even further because of her worked suspension.

The more this goes on the more I feel like Ronda is the one that should have nothing to do with this match, not Charlotte. Becky and Charlotte have an unsettled rivalry. Becky is the underdog; Charlotte is the entitled queen who's just handed everything. Charlotte thinks she's above Becky. Becky has something to prove against Charlotte. Becky winning in the main event of Wrestlemania proves something. Rousey has nothing to do with anything. But they want her to be the champ, and they want her to be cheered, even though she LEGIT IS THE MCMAHON-CHOSEN STAR CHARLOTTE'S CHARACTER PRETENDS TO BE, so they really gotta twist it around and warp it.

Honestly, thinking on it now I kind of wonder if they're angling to have Rousey retain at Mania then lose it to Becky the next night. Would provide a payoff to her whole, "Defend the title after every PPV," thing that's been otherwise pointless and provide the singles match people have wanted, you know WWE would love to have the headlines of Rousey winning in the first women's Mania main event, and otherwise she's going to look like a total idiot being willing to give away the title if she can't fight Becky just to promptly lose to her, which beating her first would soften.
I think that'd be an absolutely stupid thing to do and completely undercut the point of Charlotte being there, but WWE.

They absolutely won't let a heel walk out of the first women's Wrestlemania main event with the championship. On an unrelated note, isn't Rousey just so great to want to fight Becky, speaking out to Steph and taking a stand? (I kind of want them to do this just to witness in amazed wonder how they seemingly invite their fans to hate them. It'll be like Roman Reigns, main eventer all over again)

I was wondering after her line about not wanting to fight the chosen ones why she didn't just say if you dont reinstate Becky then I don't want to be at Wrestlemania thus forcing Stephanies hand and getting Becky reinstated and giving her her womens main event for her and her daughters blah blah blah

I've been fast forwarding through this shit for a while now. To me, Becky's shtick got old fast (don't hurt me) and Ronda's shine has pretty much worn off. Add the Mcmahon's to the equation and the limp, watered down Stone Cold tribute act with the cops and yeah, I'm checked out.
Charlotte is killing it in her 'mad queen' role though. The woman who was shoehorned into the feud is the best part of it, heh.

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. 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.) Just because we could not have this mess it doesn't mean we need the same promo as the post rumble every week. There is many simple ways to build this.

It must be easier week in and week out to book it like the match isn’t going to happen than it is to actually promote the match.

Thing is, I don't sense that this will be resolved at Fast Lane. I see no signs that this match will occur there to get Becky back in it, so if that doesn't even happen then it's just going to be her being in the match...because?

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. well as someone pointed out on another board. becky needs someone to force the mcmahons/vince to change their minds and charlotte certainly isn't going to lift a finger to do so. so she has to take advantage of rousey's temper and the fact that ronda is the champ so you can't have a HISTORIC! first ever women's main event championship match without the champ being in the match. so becky figures she needs to take advantage of the rousey temper to get her to do something like tonight, where she basically unofficially gave up the title rather than go to mania as the champ without being able to get her hands on becky. which of course ruins the "first ever women's mania main event" if rousey isn't going to go along with it. so now steph either has to get vince to change his mind and add becky or risk charlotte having no one to face for a championless title that they have to put someone obviously to be seen as a replacement just to have a title match as a side note- never expected vacant's lucha sister Vacanta to be the one to dethrone rousey (yes I know she didn't officially relinquish it but they're presenting it like that for now)
