I imagine Becky and Charlotte will end up being the Trish and Lita of this generation, honestly. Fans can debate over which one might be better, but I almost couldn't imagine one without the other anymore.

10 years from now all WWE history will say Charlotte was more popular than Becky ever was even if they may not be true got heck they'll probably claimed Alexa was more popular to

She has a ways to go. Right now I'd put Charlotte, Trish, Lita, Chyna, Sable and at the moment Sasha but Becky will top Sasha soon enough.

I think she has a shot especially if she wins at Mania. Being the first women to win the main event of a WrestleMania is a pretty deal. Heck just being in the first women's match to main event Mania is a big deal. It really is either going to be her or Charlotte as really nobody else right is even close. Charlotte has more great matches and is favored more by management but Becky is super over and appeals to a lot of people and in not in just a looks/sex appeal way like a lot of other women that were very over in the past like Sable was.
Also I think a lot of people here are selling Becky short as far as in ring ability goes which kind of surprises me because I always thought the general consensus was that was very good in ring. I mean there's some women that I think are better like Charlotte and Asuka but I would still she one of the better in ring women workers in the company, definitely in the top 5 anyways. Other then Charlotte, Asuka, and maybe Sasha I can't really think of anyone else who I would consider better then her.

I think the months after Mania are going to be crucial in seeing if she’s able to sustain her character and popularity on Raw, especially while Charlotte’s on SDL. (A big part of why Becky caught fire was the smark perception of Charlotte as ‘female Roman’, after all.) While its been very successful against Ronda/Charlotte, I fear that her approach isn’t going to work as well if she’s unambiguously on top as it can very easily be read as punching down and bullying. (As the brief feud with Asuka suggested as did her random Twitter attacks before Survivor Series.) At the very least, Becky will be remembered for this period, her clever exploitation of smark narratives about wrestling, and for her updating kayfabe for the social media age.
As for Charlotte, if she manages another year or two at her current level of having great matches virtually whenever she gets the chance, she’s going to be very hard to argue against, especially if some of the bitterness over booking decisions subsides to look at the quality of her work instead.

I don't know if she'll be "the GOAT" anywhere but my heart, but I think she'll definitely be in the conversation.

No, she’s not far removed from being a forgettable midcardrr. She’s over now but people will probably get sick of her.
And WWE writes the history and they’re definitely going to give Charlotte he same amount of reigns as her dad if not more. That’ll be tough to compete with

GOAT female wrestler? With names like Manami Toyota and Bull Nakano out there (not to mention a still-active Asuka on the main roster), absolutely not.
One of the best 'WWE sports entertainers'? Possibly. But then you've got names like Trish, Lita, Chyna, Stacey, and Sable to contend with.
She will be remembered, but time will tell if she wrestles a classic match first before putting her near the upper echelon of female greats.

She will be remembered, but time will tell if she wrestles a classic match first before putting her near the upper echelon of female greats. I would easily put some of the Charlotte matches and the end of the Royal Rumble matches as classics The match with Asuka was even better ,ring-wise,but lacked the heat behind it.I think relative to the era she competes with name slike Trish,Stacey. Becuase yeh, Trish was involved in a much more popular time,but Becky is outselling the male wrestlers, which is a feat no one female wrestler did before(I THINK).Not gonna say she is the best in-ring,because while great she aint the best in-ring.

I don't see it. I like her, am happy for her popularity and hope she wins at WM, but I'm not seeing anything remotely GOAT about her.

I discussed this briefly with a friend that determining the GOAT is never possible atleast in wrestling because everything is so subjective and there is no set criteria which would be the only way to fairly determin GOAT status.
Becky to me is nowhere near even in the discussion right now...she is good but she isn't some generational talent that only comes along once every 50yrs or so.

If they book her right for the next 3-4 years then yeah. I can easily see her and Charlotte basically being Rock and Austin decades from now. With Becky's overness and being the main star and Charlotte who will undoubtedly win 17 world titles, yeah those 2 are going to do it. They're already on the road. That dichotomy really works for them too. Becky's the working class hero and Charlotte the corporate favorite with the lineage and class.

I still think it's too early to judge, last year at Wrestlemania she was on the pre-show getting eliminated by Mickie James so she come along way and caught fire but it's still too early to know how long the momentum will last

In fairness, her pops were much louder than Asuka's were during their brief program and at the Rumble. You can say the way they booked Asuka has something to do with that, but it's still impressive whether the social media jabs landed or not.

I agree she's not that special, but her babyface likability is extremely rare. She absolutely has that "it" factor we keep talking about.
