They need to deliver big time in regards to this feud come Monday. They need to get the triple threat announced and they need to have a hell of a segment, or maybe an ongoing narrative throughout the show, to do it. They've already laid some groundwork with Charlotte coming looking to claim the title, that's an alright starting place, now they need to use it to restore the momentum to this storyline because it was already fading and it's going into overdrive fast. You're asking for a home run, and you're going to get a line drive bunt, at best. Charlotte's already set up in her spot as the entitled figure who believes that she earned her spot on nepotism and pedigree, yet you could only do so much with that before you're just spinning your wheels.

And for anyone who followed Ronda's MMA career, shes actually pretty easily "gotten to". Miesha Tate drove her nuts to the point where their season as coaches of The Ultimate Fighter made her look like a total dick. Shes actually a pretty weak trash talker when someone else has the balls to trade with them. She just happened to be a stylistic nightmare for Tate in the cage. And Bethe Correia was complete shit when they fought as well. Yea, she's always been a disaster as far as that is concerned and it came to ahead when she fought Holly Holm and tried to talk shit to her about being a preachers daughter and say shit she never said to drum up some contrived reasoning in her head to hurt her
Ronda go to has always been able to f*** u up in a variety of ways and it worked in WWE until she started opening her mouth. Saying I can beat you without breaking a sweat is decent trash talk BUT that's real life compared to wrestling where you got to make this a show. Saying you never fought someone like me i'm going to push you to your breaking point works a whole lot better and if you have to get nasty you can always say I hope you can run your mouth just as much when I break your jaw. Shit should be real simple but it isn't for her

There's really no separation between herself and her character anymore so that just further confused people who are on the fence about her. Yeah I can acknowledge you're a good wrestler but I hate what kind of person you are. Yeah, I can acknowledge who you're trying to be on screen but when you're being yourself then that on-screen character isn't really an "on-screen character" anymore. This whole Becky and Charlotte thing really damaged her to the point where I really don't want her interacting with them or interacting with anyone else on the roster especially given her attitude. She just cannot handle the crowd response and that impacts everything she does. How she looks, how she speaks, how she works in the ring, how she tweets, everything's connected to that. Given she can't accurately juggle what she needs to given that position, why should I care? Kofi's whole thing, see, THAT is the perfect WM feud. It's a natural storyline that fans gravitated to in a way that it makes everyone look good. Kofi is playing his part, Bryan's playing his part, New Day's playing their part, Owens is playing his part, Rowan, they're all doing their thing and it's great week in and week out. No social media wars, no breaking the fourth wall, none of that and yet we love it. Even the Lesnar/Rollins stuff, while it's been underwhelming, hasn't gone quite to this level quite yet and it's not being positioned as THE WM feud. Either way, Ronda's basically screwed it all up and the fact she actually dehyped a feud that people were already pretty invested in says something. People were dealing with the Charlotte negativity even if they didn't want it. People were still going "I'll see where this goes" or at least somewhat handling it. No one is dealing with this due to the different variables that Ronda's thrown this feud under the bus. If she was putting bits of herself into this while still showing something that was clearly still being a character, it'd be one thing. I think Becky's done a good job at integrating her sense of humour into her act in a way that's been focused on talking trash and feels like it's putting some of herself into her character. Charlotte's leaning into perceptions about her and what she does or doesn't deserve to further her heel persona. Hell, New Day are all about putting a ton of their nerdy stuff into their characters and it's what got them over in the first place, Bryan is playing an extremist version of his own beliefs, and Owens's whole thing is devotion to the family he actually has. All of those characters do well with integrating parts of themselves into their presentation and allowing that personality to influence their acts. But Ronda's not doing here, she's taken it too far and brought reality into this, and once we're on about how Ronda is about "real", we have to talk about the real Ronda. Even if we assume Ronda tweeted those things not because it's getting to her but because she thought it would genuinely add interest to this story and she wanted to go shooting because screw it she's a fan and she wanted to go for that shit. Everyone is taking it as Ronda being thin skinned, taking it as the cracks showing, taking it as the real Ronda rearing her ugly head and being a maladjusted disaster. The most charitable interpretation of this is still a massive backfire that sees her completely missing the mark and turning the conversation into the unfavorable kind of real that's making people turn on this whole situation. There's no real life edge to this match, and her trying to bring real life into it is a massive stumbling block that makes her look worse for it. To Lesnar's credit, Lesnar is how Ronda should try to act. Lesnar's a wrestler with an MMA background that whenever he wrestles there's this air of "realness" about him. They don't mention it, Lesnar doesn't mention anything being fake, they don't allude to it, he has that presence and it carries across everything he does in WWE. Ronda on the other hand has been Michael Jackson leaning into the realness thing for a while now to where it's not an elbow nudge, it's not a wink, it's a sign pointed at her with "HEY RONDA IS REAL, WWE ISN'T REAL, SHE'S REAL GUYS" and it just makes things feel so horrible.
This whole thing with Ronda's attitude furthermore shows how strong someone like Reigns is. Reigns had years of years worth of boos around him and I only saw him crack once and that was during a fan cam where he looked annoyed for one second. Ronda's only been here for 1 bus stop and she's already off the bus. It's crazy. I knew she had a bad attitude but this bad? Lord. Yea, this speaks exactly why Charlotte was needed. Can you imagine if these two got in the ring and trying do too much and f*** shit up. As said from jump Charlotte is here to steer the ship and make sure shit stays on course Also I do agree Becky is full of herself. After a point you have made Ronda look bad as bad can be so why are you still going along with this? It's not like she doesn't know better because she's been doing this for months but it's been lowkey funny and cool because she was building her profile up. Yes, you are getting yourself over but Ronda looks like a big chump and you're not making yourself look any better by continuing to beat a dead horse. She's getting herself over but the match is suffering big time so yeah Thank God for Charlotte because if these two were the main event you're asking for a potential train wreck as both are trying too hard
Yeah Charlotte is the anchor here. Without her then we'd be seeing something far worse, I don't even want to imagine it.
Yeah Becky's full of herself and I'm sick of it honestly. Yeah I'm a fan of hers but at a certain point you have to look at how you're helping others in the feud. See, I brought this up in those triple threat threads a few times. I said that Becky was steamrolling people and I received a good amount of backlash (no pun). Here we're seeing Becky steamroll Ronda on social media and you have to wonder if it's just about Becky or if it's about all the characters involved. Charlotte of all people was hyping Ruby Riott up before the Ronda match some weeks ago, Charlotte was hyping up Eva Marie some weeks ago, Charlotte, as a heel does a good amount for helping those around her. Yeah, from a story standpoint she's the "it's all about me I'm the queen" character but outside of that her entire purpose, even in this story, is to help others (Ronda and Becky). Becky needs to focus more on that because if the others look great, she looks great. The fact is that she's just not doing that and that's especially on social media.
I mean we've got a whole topic about Becky trashing people on social media out there. Thank God Asuka got in that ass on social media AND in the ring.
In Ronda's defense, thats a great line, because shes saying she can tear Becky apart without stepping out of the kayfabe canon. If she had said the only thing stopping her was the script it wouldnt work. Like the stupid tweet about the Disarm-her not hurting. You can say anything you want, you can make yourself sound like the baddest person on the planet, BUT TREAT EVERYTHING YOU SAY AS REAL, WRESTLING IN ITS ENTIRETY IS A WORKED SHOOT. The whole point if that they're going to fight each other at WrestleMania to determine who the best female wrestler in the world is. Because if you dont treat wrestling as if its real, the fans dont either. The line would have been fine if it didn't snowball into everything that's happened this week. It makes you think in the worst ways lol.

I can see the argument for Becky being full of herself.
After all, the goal here is to work the crowd, not expose each other. Granted, Ronda is taking the bait and making herself look like a complete fool, but surely Becky understands this and doesn't need to full on expose her as a basketcase. You can say that Ronda takes herself too seriously and has thin skin (it's true), but it seems to me that Becky is likewise guilty of masturbating her ego at Ronda's expense, and not in a way that ultimately benefits the work.

I knew she had a bad attitude but this bad? Lord. They play up Brock's UFC credentials not as "HE'S A REAL FIGHTER NO LIKE YOU LOSERS" but, rightly, as someone who succeeded in WWE, went to UFC, succeeded there, came back to WWE, succeeded again. It's treated like he's a threat in combat sports whose UFC success proves he can hold a top title and defend it. Not someone who killed in MMA so now he's here to punk out all the little fake fighters who aren't on his level. There's definitely a lot of shaky shit in Brock's booking like the Orton match and just how strongly hes' booked, but they never truck out the idea he's a real fighter and his opponent is a chump. They translate it into something that works in the universe of WWE and it's something they have done well with Ronda right up until Ronda hit 'tweet' yesterday

I like Ronda but she just sucks, man.
I get the argument that Becky needs to be more giving here and agree to an extent, but if someone has to be protected this much from someone who's not even going in that hard then maybe they shouldn't be in this spot. I don't think Becky should have to water herself down even more for her. Get someone else to write Ronda's Twitter promos for her.

Ronda doesn’t “get” the business.
And I say that as somebody who thinks she’s actually solid in the ring. She doesn’t get the whole idea of wrestling and those tweets prove it. Somebody who GOT wrestling would never expose it like that. They would hype up the match some other way and get everyone interested.
Everyone knows it’s fake and you could kill Becky Ronda. But you’re acting now. So f***ing act.

I’m starting to dislike Becky Lynch. Her whole “pseudo Conor McGregor” act is starting to annoy me. And I say that as somebody who can’t f***ing stand McGregor. And I’m Irish myself. The “cocky walk”, the cringeworthy attempt to be the king of smack talk on Twitter, I’m over it. I’m a Ronda fan but she’s killing herself here. Just put the phone down and stop embarrassing yourself. This whole “I DON’T CARE ABOUT THE SCRIPT” thing is legitimately one of my most hated things when watching wrestling. Hated it when CM Punk was doing it, hated it when Russo was doing it, hate it now. What’s wrong with an old fashioned blood feud without breaking the fourth wall? We all know Ronda could kill these girls if she wanted to... but we WERE INVESTED in the idea that Becky could beat her. Now? I’m starting to hope Charlotte IS in the match so she can shut both of them up. There was a thread last week titled something like "differences between Becky and Stone Cold" and I just let out a bewildered chortle when I saw it because like... A f***ing ton; a lot of which isn't her fault, to be honest. I'd "love" to see how Stone Cold would be booked in 2019. Shudder. I imagine he'd stay in The Ringmaster role and it'd be a lot like how they've handled Rusev.

Yeah, it's like I said in that thread as well, it's more about giving Austin the respect he deserves than disrespecting Becky. He's arguably the greatest. She's more like CM Punk, which is still a compliment.

Charlotte, from everything I've heard about her backstage, is one of the most supportive people in the entire division. She's a real locker room leader and that probably contributes to why she's always in the spotlight in addition to the more obvious things, like talent and being Ric Flair's daughter.

She helped out Alexa a ton in NXT when the others were hating on her because of her lack of prior wrestling experience. She deserves a lot of credit for giving back and helping Becky become the best thing in the company right now.

Yep I agree with this. Becky's next character evolution is making the people she's against look good because that's something Charlotte does. That's something that Styles does pretty well. It's something that Bryan does and honestly I'll say it, Reigns does it well too. Yeah Roman's super booking was trash but one thing I recall about him is that usually prior to the matches he gets his ass kicked a good amount. With Becky it feels like most of the time she 1ups her opponents prior to the match which is just weird.
Ronda basically took what we assumed the match might have been with a single's match, made it worse and now we're looking at it like Charlotte flying in with a C on her chest. It's hard to take the match seriously now without changes.

Punk's body of great work is much larger right now for sure. If Becky has to be compared to anyone character wise, she just reminds me more of 2011-12 CM Punk than Austin at any point.

It's hard to take the match seriously now without changes.
Becky made Alexa look like a million bucks during their feud in 2016. She got bodied left and right by her and her only win from what I can remember came with Alexa's foot on the rope. She did such a good job against Alexa that I was even worried they'd only ever see her as someone they use to make the people they want to be stars look good, like Ziggler in 2012-13. Asuka looked good shrugging off her social media attacks and beating her clean at the Rumble too. After she (hopefully) gets her WM Moment™, they should focus on using her massive popularity to give others a rub for sure though. Don't want to turn it into another Charlotte/Alexa situation, even though I like Becky wayyy more than those two.
