Well, it IS Rocky III, if after losing to Clubber Lang, Rocky Balboa won a title from a different sanctioning body, defended that and THEN beat Lang. Create my own title, with blackjack and hookers She even did the thing of reaching out to her old rival to try and beat Clubber Asuka. The only thing different is that she AND Apollo Charlotte both fought Rowdy Ronda Thunderlips.

The post match backstage interview that WWE uploaded with Becky didn't do her any favors either. Where Becky and the interviewer talked about how she's now the greatest women's wrestler in the world. Which is bad enough when everyone knows it isn't actually true. But it gets worse. They brought up the ref stopping Asuka from pinning Becky incident, and she defaulted into anti-authority mode for a couple of seconds, talking about how the company was trying to protect her, and she beat Asuka fair and square without their help.
...Which is blatantly false. The ONLY reason she won is because the ref stopped Asuka from pinning her. If anyone got screwed over here, it was Asuka herself. Combine that with the audience being somewhat pissed off at Becky winning, and things could rapidly go south for her. And no one likes Charlotte either. So its a match that could either be heatless, or the audience will just completely dump on it.

They have damn good chemistry but that match does not need to be had in a while They've faced each other like a thousand times at this point. It's just not an interesting match to build towards when it's happened so many times already. Both need relatively fresh opponents.

And Becky has won every match decisively for almost a two year stretch

Get the title off of her Would had rather seen Asuka vs Charlotte again if anything but I have no desire to see Charlotte vs Becky again Asuka finally overcoming Charlotte could be really good. Charlotte had her number as much as Asuka had Becky's until tonight.

Yea as said earlier it is a rock paper scissors type of situation Charlotte beats Asuka, Asuka beats Becky, Becky beats Charlotte All three are basically even and it is a good story to be told

It was a great dynamic and likely would have made for something fantastic at WM whether they went the triple threat route or Asuka winning tonight and Becky finally overcoming her at WM. Shame they botched it.
It's almost like back in the day when each member of the shield had one member they couldn't beat, the main difference being they actually did that one mostly right in the end.

I really just cannot even anymore with Becky Cena vs. Charlotte Orton. That match needed a long break for awhile after Evolution and yet they did it about 80 more times right after that.

I honestly think they were trying to avoid doing it (they were running a Charlotte 'crisis of confidence' storyline on SDL at the time), but then Becky getting injured right before Survivor Series changed plans.

Becky and Charlotte always have good matches, but do we really need another match between the two?
I like the idea of it being like a rock, paper, scissors situation between Becky, Charlotte and Asuka.

I just wanted Asuka to win the match, and Io to win the Rumble.
Pipe dream i know, but that match sells itself. I was waiting for Io's music and the huge pop she'd get the entire time.
(even tho I imagine Io is winning the NXT (women's) Championship at NXT: WM Weekend)

So its a match that could either be heatless, or the audience will just completely dump on it. Becky has been completely insufferable for a long time now. It's the same problem with being a top face as always: you're not the underdog, so how do you keep people's natural sympathy from causing them to side with the heels? If you brag about being on top, that's heel stuff, and people will be even more against you. But, people have been trained by the WWE to only think tough bad-asses are worth anything. So there's no way to win. Becky is (I assume completely on her own) trying to build a character where the office wants her on top, where she's the chosen one. And her character wants to be on top, but she built herself on FIGHTING the chosen one. So she's really ambivalent about this support, and she speaks out against it, but when the chips are down, she'll probably take the help. It'll go nowhere, but good on her for trying, I guess.

I think people have started to turn on Becky's character so much that they forget (or they don't want to admit) "Hey, when she get's in the ring, she's actually really good.", like, she and Asuka apparently had a great match (I heard it wasn't as good as their match last year, but still) and people still are refusing to give her credit for it. What does Becky have to do to get back in your good graces?

There is a good story there to say she is the fighting champion and WWE wants to protect her while she wants to fight but she doesn't have the right opponents for that You need a Bianca or Shayna to step up to her and have someone tell Becky listen you can't win against them and we have an investment to protect but Becky tells them to f*** off. She will eventually lose to one of them proving the higher ups right and it would make Becky a good fighting babyface

Becky is a 7 in the ring She has good chemistry with Asuka and Charlotte but everyone else is hit and miss
