That was some great stuff, she put over Asuka, acknowledged the fact that she was the corporate champion, not the underdog, and she didn't even realise it.
She addressed a lot of the issues that people had with her character and her "punching down" and came across as less in-your-face and more down to earth.
I think that people forgot or overlooked how good Becky is at promos and this is a reminder of why she has such loyal fans.

I thought it was quite a good promo, and it’s sensible putting it like that cause smarks will dislike her beating Asuka, but I hope fans realise that the recent tag storyline was for her and this feud rather than some conspiracy to ‘give Charlotte a grand slam’ as they feared for some reason.

was going to bump the Becky Lynch is OP thread until I saw this one, but I am one of those who think Becky is great but just not liking where her current character was but this was a great interview and did a real lot in my opinion of undoing the damage of what they have been doing with her lately

I don't think it's too late, it as always felt to me people where more pissed off with her booking then her itself (and it helps she seems a really good person out of character), people just wanted a reason to feel like they should get behind her again and that promo did give us that tease that there could be that character change

I have no problem with Becky beating Asuka I just want to see Asuka where she belongs at the top of the Women’s division and this Lynch feud has put her right back up there.

I didn't like it because she didn't make any sense.
Early on in the interview she said that because she was put in the tag division she thought management was trying to bury her. Well, good job shitting on the tag teams. Next she said "management was holding her back" and given she's the lead champion right now, that sounds ridiculous. She just lost to Shayna. You've headlined WM, you've gotten these spots and yet you're saying that they're trying to "keep you happy" and that's holding you back even though you've got the title. That shouldn't be a problem for most superstars but when you're the lead champion that puts Becky and her own goals above the title itself which is a no no so maybe she shouldn't be champion because then it wouldn't be as bad. She also said they're trying to "keep her away from Asuka" when the reality is she's been feuding with her and Kairi since October 7th. She's had 4-5 matches with Asuka in them. If she means in a single's match then she's been calling people out for over a year now, she could have easily called Asuka out prior and it's not like Asuka wouldn't face her given she's faced her numerous times recently. She's called people out to the ring (Lacey Evans) and yet they've accepted, she's started fights with others (Sasha) and there's been no issues with her finding opponents. She hasn't been defending for 2 months now. It sounds like she's making excuses.
Lastly she said that it's eating away at her, she says it doesn't have to be for the title and she says she has something to prove so I ask, why do we have to see this match? Can't you have an unsanctioned match that nobody sees? If you just wanna prove it to yourself and beat her then that'll satisfy you because at this point if it's not for the belt and it's just for your own goals then there's no need for anyone else to see it.
She sounded nuts.
At the end of the day we know this will happen at the Rumble and Becky will win which will give her her win from Asuka and honestly Asuka deserves better. Her last Rumble appearance was outshined by Becky, that TLC match was outshined by Ronda last year, this Kabuki Warriors team is dope but their win the other day was overlooked by Corbin and Reigns and now she'll effectively lose to Becky again and be outshined once more.
There's just no reason for me to want to root for Becky especially after this reign of hers. I hope Asuka wins but alas we know she won't.

Good promo but feels like an unnecessary win is coming when she doesn't need to beat Asuka

I like you and I do genuinely think you're a great guy, but I have to be honest, these endless posts of you just finding anything to criticise Becky are just as tiresome as my posts when I acted like a full on Becky stan. Are you willing to give Becky any credit for anything or just criticise her for the smallest of reasons? You've made your point clear time and time again how much you dislike her. I hope this doesn't come off in the wrong way, but I have to call things like I see it and I do honestly mean no offense.

Are you willing to give Becky any credit for anything or just criticise her for the smallest of reasons? You've made your point clear time and time again how much you dislike her. I'll be honest, the fact you didn't try to debunk and/or change my opinion towards what I said is proof you're still a stan regarding her and can't take people's opinions. This is a forum, people have the right to agree, disagree or have a discussion towards anyone's opinion towards anyone we speak about. The fact you didn't say "hey look at it this way" or even say "ok what about this" or even tried to break what I said down just shows that it's not even about what I said having meaning to you, it's about the fact I went against Becky rather than any points or content in my post.
This isn't even the first time I've said this to you but this is the last time I'm saying it. From now on if you've got any opinion towards my Becky comments then I'm officially not responding. We're adults, not kids. This is a place for discussion. If you've got an issue then take it up with mods.

Uh. Unnecessary copy/paste promo. Same stuff they're giving her for the last whole year.

They need a diversion for Becky until Charlotte/Ronda/whoever at mania and she hasn’t had a high profile win over Asuka, that’s all this is until they prove otherwise to me.

It wasn't bad but can we cut the inside term bullshit? The part you want to beat Asuka? Fine. The part about the Office "burying" you? No, no good.

Honestly at this stage I think Becky needs Ronda to come back ASAP. She was at her best and most over when feuding with Ronda who is a star.

I don’t think she was burying the tag division. She was saying that management tried to protect her by encouraging her into situations where she didn’t have to defend her title. Like Nikki Bella in 2015—but kayfabe.
Loved the promo. Absolutely.

One thing that amused me is apparently management’s idea of ‘protecting’ Becky is putting her in a handicap and then a brutal TLC match. Who knew?

Thought it was quite good. Feels like the most direction she's had in quite a good while.
