This all kills me. When Ronda first started to crack they should have taken her aside and found a way to deal with it then. So many fantastic options have been brought up. What kills me though is that this feud was special. How many feuds can you think of where the participants barely touched each other in the lead up. Consider, this feud has been simmering for something like five or six months and the only time they laid hands on each other was the invasion (unless you count the interference in the ladder match). Normally in a feud people are beating on each other every week. Hell, that was how the Becky/Charlotte feud started. With these posts I feel like Ronda has crapped on that specialness. That's not to say others aren't blameless, the authority could have kept out of it, Becky could have been more sympathetic beyond neverending knee issues, she could have taken it easy on Ronda.
The fact that there is a perceived need for a backup plan in Charlotte kills me. Becky vs Ronda was a money feud that wrote itself and they have screwed up every single moment of it since the promo where Becky chose Ronda as her opponent. It kills me that a Wrestlemania Main Event needs a backup plan because one of the people in it can't be trusted to not crack. It sucks that Becky has been on fire and is now having to hold back because her opponent can't keep up and it's turning into Rock/Billy Gunn.
It's a shame that Becky/Charlotte started when it did. I need a break from their feud after seven months but can you imagine if their Last Women Standing had closed Wrestlemania as the blowoff to the feud?

She actually wrote about the script in a tweet?! Jeezus Ronda, kayfabe is all but dead already, but you still gotta act like this shit is real. And no, pointing out that it's fake doesn't make it more real, it just makes it lame. You don't go full Russo, never go full Russo. Maybe WWE is playing 8 D Chess It's obvious storywise Becky is supposed to win @ WM,maybe they are using social media to get the smart fan's thinking Ronda will pull a Hogan and force herself to go over or even shoot fight in that match.

The annoying part about this thing today is that while Ronda's tweets are undoubtedly bad and cringeworthy, none of them would have happened without Becky sanctimoniously defending silly fake mugshots that she'd already made a joke about herself in another tweet (the 'crime does pay after all' one about her new T-shirt.).

Social media is why Becky's one of the biggest faces they have right now so I don't want to downplay its impact, but all it takes is a couple strong segments on Raw and SDL this upcoming week to get it back on track as long as they keep Vince, HHH and Stephanie the f*** out of it (they mean well but I don't want any more McMahon bullshit on my TV), drop the shit with Becky's knee and let Becky do her thing on the mic. Also, keep the mic out of Ronda's hands. it sucks because this was the slam dunk WM main event a month ago, but they've only cooled it off since that awesome moment when Becky picked Ronda as her WM opponent.

Ah man if they're thinking they'd trick people into thinking that this is leading to Ronda "shooting" on someone in a match then they failed. It just comes off like Ronda panicked and went all work/shoot with the story and fell on her face.

Yeah, I doubt there's any real life animosity and that Ronda's going to shoot and break Becky's arm at WM or whatever lol. Fans just don't want to hear about how scripted it all is when you're in character and she doesn't get that. I'll give Becky some blame for this too because as hilarious as I find her, she's schooled Ronda to the point where beating her at WrestleMania just wouldn't feel like as big of a deal as it would've back in November (you're damn right I still want to see it anyway). In short, she should've been DQed for kicking too much ass.

Everytime I see a Ronda or a Becky tweet it's just like Ronda: "Next motherf***er that insults me is getting shot on, please believe that."

It's the opposite of what they need right now and Ronda should've known better.

I really hope Ronda does indeed bounce after Mania and doesn't end up coming back. I'm not even really outraged all of this, since I pay so little attention to Twitter I really only just learned about it, but she's just thoroughly exposed just how limited she really is, she's more and more making it impossible to ignore her transphobic history by continuing to bring it up, and really by the time Mania's done with about the only matches I'd even want to see out of her that haven't happened already are Asuka and Baszler and I can live without them.

Yup. Ronda's so phallic-obsessed that I kinda want to see Becky borrow from Joey Ryan's entrance against her some time.

Whether it's intentional or ronddas just terrible it's still funny as shit.

To be fair, I wish Becky had a penis too.

I see a couple of people doing the whole "All publicity is good publicity" thing with Ronda's tweets being shared and...
Well, considering everything we know about attendances and ratings etc...that's...not even a thing anymore.

Becky joked about doing a crime and getting a shirt after. How is that the same as Ronda saying Becky faked the photos and basically she never went to prison? Becky has every right to defend against someone calling her profession and her fake and a fraud. Becky hasn't cut a promo since Charlotte was added and hasn't cut a promo on Ronda since the Raw after the Rumble. If Becky's not cutting promos, she has to tweet to make noise in this feud and hype this feud. Ronda didn't have to say shit, she did and got burned. This is all Ronda.

I can understand taking offense to Rhonda calling out the Dis Arm Her as fake, since it breaks everything about everything. But let's be real. Becky is so universally over that the finish of the match is likely going to be her tapping Ronda to. It actually does help tell the story. "You called this thing fake, now you're going to see just how real it is."

f***ing hell Ronda. You’re making it so hard for me to defend you these days.
Acknowledging scripts and saying “THIS IS A REAL FIGHT NOW” is ridiculous. Please stop.

Nah. Ronda called those mugshots fake in the first place and that's just really dumb to begin with, and it doesn't matter if they're fake mugshots or not those mugshots are literally in service of the story that had her getting arrested. Like on the very literal level of "She wouldn't have written responses to tweets if those tweets didn't exist" sure, but this is all on Ronda. You don't call someone's shit fake to begin with.

Ronda's tweets gave me flashbacks to a 1997 ECW promo from Bam Bam Bigelow where he was hyping a match with Shane Douglas. He talked about how with Kimo and LT, he "cooperated" but now, he was not going to do anymore "goddamn jobs," as if his match with Douglas was going to be real. That kind of stuff is always stupid.

Ronda's worn out her welcome in the worst way, she comes off like a child unable to deal with KAYFABE insults to the point she's just screaming about things being fake and how she's a real athlete and that's why she's the best.
Rowdy Roddy Piper was your apparent wrestling idol to the point you for permission to use "Rowdy" in your name and gear and logo trademarks from him, and THIS, THIS is how you honestly repay him and everyone who was rooting for you to succeed? By making a complete ass of yourself on social media time and time again?
Won't even bat an eye when she leaves honestly, she's done enough dumb shit to last a lifetime.
