Tonight's Beat the Clock may have been a meaningless series of matches, but the booking of her taking a Charlotte big boot beforehand but still easily beating Ronda's time (and Charlotte somehow still continuing her long losing streak even in this situation) it also really highlighted how incredibly strong and how protected Becky's booking has been for the last nine months. Its been a time in which:
- She won the Royal Rumble after already having a match, plus having an extra 'injury' on top of it so she won on one leg. - Has lost two matches clean. One (Summerslam) had her getting her heat back by beating up Charlotte afterwards, and the other led to Asuka disappearing from TV for weeks to avoid acknowledging that she beat Becky. - A mixed tag with John Cena where Cena sold more for Zelina Vega than she did.
- The night after getting beaten up by Ronda Rousey, and on crutches, she still laughed it off and gave Charlotte a Disarmher. - Beat up Charlotte after four of her few wins (Two on SDL, Summerslam, Super ShowDown).
- Has not taken the fall on a house show once. Even when they were running Asuka/Becky/Charlotte on SDL house shows, Charlotte took the fall every time. Even when Charlotte was champion they ran tag matches to avoid Becky taking a fall.
Credit to Becky for her promos and social media work, but I think a lot of fans miss how crucial her booking her been, backing up everything she says and preventing her from looking like a Samoa Joe who is a convincing promo but also loses whenever it counts.
I'm very curious to see how Becky's character adapts when she's no longer booked like a god.

The WWE always has a problem finding the balance between steamrolling an entire division and looking like a goober.

I find it weird when this criticism comes up for presently popular characters.
Like, maybe the strength of their booking is helping bolster their popularity. Why is that a bad thing?
It was the same thing with Braun, he was most popular when he was crushing everything around him. Now he's just some generic Big Show expy.

Saying it now, she's got 4 months once she wins the title to not be OP and have her booking corrected or else she's getting booed by the fans. It's just bad writing when someone's too OP that it hurts those they interact with. We don't need another AJ Styles "OP face champion" run. We don't need another Strowman. That's silly.
Charlotte on the other hand, I've said it before and I'll say it again, she's taking Asuka's belt quickly. Asuka's time has run out, she's done.

Man dude,just block me and be done,I can even awnser you something without some accusation. None of my statement are false. The way you made your post makes it seem like you lumped the AJ Styles OP booking with the Braun,the whole context of this thread makes it seens like Braun being OP was an issue to his overness so I just wante to add a note about it. But serious you are into some deep paranoia stuff.

I don't even think she's demonstrably that overpowered. Even before she was hobbling on one leg for an eternity she was constantly blindsiding people, then post-Wrestlemania she's been clobbering everyone with a weapon and otherwise looking useless.
She addressed her loss to Asuka one show later so it's not like they've been hiding from that. I think Asuka's disappearance had more to do with WWE not knowing what to do with her.

There is definitely a limit. Becky has walked a good line of really strong and vulnerable(and they are trying to sell she is better than Ronda,they need to have her be strong). And I think even if she goes full Roman,it will take a long time to the crowd to get tired of it.

Not seeing it. In her last two important matches, she’s tapped clean and gotten her ass kicked until Ronda bailed her out. She also had to swallow her pride and apologize to Steph and Trips. Not to mention hobbling around like a gimpy goober for months. And tonight is just a poor example. She got a roll-up bictorybiver Liv Morgan. It’s Liv Morgan for god’s sake.
I want Becky to bring back some of her goofiness. But I think the idea that her Becky booked strong, is going to lead to a fan backlash, is just plain wrong.

It could eventually, but not sure how long it'd take. It's a really interesting situation though, because an overwhelming amount of the fans love her and that wasn't the case for Cena or Roman. And while I don't see her going full dork again, she's been acting goofier lately and I do think some more of her old personality will come out again after WM.

She still got a few more months before I call her OP, tho best believe come Summerslam if she was still killing people on the mic and in the ring this thread was coming
As the person who started the Braun is OP thread, I disagree for now

The way you made your post makes it seem like you lumped the AJ Styles OP booking with the Braun,the whole context of this thread makes it seens like Braun being OP was an issue to his overness so I just wante to add a note about it. But serious you are into some deep paranoia stuff.Imma keep it a bean with ya.
But they are false. Earlier today I made a comment, you responded to me (when I wasn't even talking to you) and you said that Charlotte's moonsault wouldn't pop a WM crowd, I said that's false and linked you an actual video of every moonsault she's done and the crowd popped every time (including some she's done at WM) and afterwards I asked for receipts towards your statement which you didn't provide, you're just making up a false statement to be anti-Charlotte at that point because you're anti-Charlotte and have been since she was announced for this match. Don't think people don't see how you've been towards this women's WM main event feud. Now in this case, you're assuming I said something when really if you look at my post I didn't say that and rather than saying "my bad man, I mistook what you said" you're acting like I'm the one in the wrong here when the truth is nah, you got an issue with this whole Becky/Charlotte/Ronda thing. You, someone who's extremely pro-Becky and anti-Charlotte, are finding any reason to argue anything against what you believe down to creating false claims that you just can't back up.
And this isn't the first time you've done this.
You need to stop responding to my posts because I don't entertain people who lie about statements just to argue with others simply because they're invested in a feud. If you got a problem with that hit me up via PM to voice your displeasure because honestly I've actually been avoiding a lot of your responses to me due to your attitude but you keep responding for some reason. There's a point where people can talk on a forum about what they like and dislike and you passed that months ago when this whole Becky/Charlotte/Ronda thing started to pick up. Nah, I can't talk to you any more about any of these women. See me in PM if you got an issue bruh bruh.
God bless.

I want Becky to bring back some of her goofiness. But I think the idea that her Becky booked strong, is going to lead to a fan backlash, is just plain wrong. I know it's WWE's forte so I wouldn't be too surprised if it happens, but it's gonna take a lot for fans to turn on Becky wholesale. I think she's similar to Dean Ambrose in that she's too versatile and likable to lose audiences like Strowman or Roman Reigns had in the past. Ambrose has done tons of cringey stuff that rightfully should have killed him dead with audiences ages ago. Roman Reigns could never get off the ground because he was the "Charlotte" to Dean/Seth's "Becky" from the start. Meanwhile Strowman flopped because he's not really good enough to survive without his over the top booking. Becky has the fans' support, she can be funny, serious, she can roll with the punches and have good matches so I think she'll be fine.

For some reason I see her like 1997 Sting.
