Okay, she didn't actually say that, but still, it sounded VERY similar to that stupid Cena / Rock feud the way Becky was whining about how losing to Asuka is hanging over her head and how she basically can't respect herself unless she can beat her.
It's like, Beck, you've had the belt for nearly a year and didn't seem to care the slightest bit about losing to Asuka as soon as later in that same night, what are you on about?

You'd think if anything would be hanging over her head, it'd be her not really beating Ronda at Mania but I guess that'll be her Mania booking if Ronda does return heh

The contract shit is so stupid. They're trying to be meta shooty about the whole thing but that's exactly why it doesn't work, because she signed a big contract back in March of this year, and anyone who is signed up or checks dirtsheets or wrestling news knows that. So as a storyline, especially a meta one, it doesn't work, because everyone already knows she has perfect job security. So trying to add extra stakes like this where "If Becky loses she won't renew her contract" only further pushes the fact Asuka is gonna drop a fat L to Miss OP Lynch with absolutely no investment. Stuff is just unecessary.

I wanna believe so badly that Asuka will beat her for the title but am resigned to the fate that everyone else is that this is only for Becky to get her win back.
I really want the belt off Becky and onto Asuka so that Kairi can go onto face her at Mania....have them lose the tag titles at elimination chamber to ramp up the feud.
But life sucks so it aint happening.

It’s clearly Asuka’s fault that WWE 2K20 (with Becky on the cover) is a glitchy mess.

Stuff is just unecessary. I hate matches where the ending is painfully obvious. Shit like “If Cena loses, he’s fired.” Or “If Cena quits, he’s done.” It’s basically telling me the ending before it even happens. And It makes watching the build up an absolute chore.

Stuff is just unecessary. Normally I would agree except they didn't say exactly when her contract "expires" so I could say them dragging it out especially since WWE loves doing that. I could maybe see them having Asuka winning at the Rumble and then Becky finally getting her win back at Elimination Chamber. I think just doing this contract signing storyline strengthens Asuka's chance because what would even be the point if Becky was just going to beat her anyways. If Ronda and/or Nia aren't due back any time soon I'm guessing the plan for Mania is Becky and Shayna or unfortunately Charlotte for 18 billionth time as she doesn't really seem to fit anywhere else and you know there not going to have her in the pre show battle royal. I hope if that's the case they do drag out the Asuka feud as long as possible no matter how dumb the contract storyline is as I have no interest at in seeing Becky against Charlotte or Shayna.

It’s going to be interesting seeing if they can chart a new course in 2020 or if it’s just going to be more and more strained worked shoots and smarkbait to try and conceal that she’s a Vince favourite and has incredibly protected booking. That Asuka match was her only clean loss all year (even SS had her beating up Shayna after the match and Michael Cole yelling that she didn’t really lose) and it was transparently just so she could win the Rumble on one leg later that night.

It's sad how people are often booked better when Vince doesn't get his hands on them. I long for the days of Lass Kicker Becky.

I hate if X loses they're fired stips...
because 9 times out of 10 that's a big flashing "This person is winning" sign.
or if they do get "fired" they are back on tv within a month.

Honestly, I think that this added thing is unnecessary because, without it, I think people could buy that Asuka is winning. But now, it's obvious that Becky is winning and I, even as one of the biggest Becky fans here, think that's the wrong call and is just going to cause people to get sick of her faster.
That said, on a positive note, if this match is anything like the last match they had at the Rumble, it's going to be awesome!
Honestly, if people weren't so focused on complaining about Becky and her booking, they'd realise that they're going to get a great match. But it seems like people don't care about the in ring action, they just care about booking.

Is this like when the day he was hit by a car was the worst day of Bret Hart's life, even worse than when he had a stroke or the day his brother died?

I mean, I'm sure it will be a great match, but I really just kind of find it hard to even care when the outcome isn't in doubt at all and Becky's so out of steam as champion that it'll have been nearly four months between defenses by the time we get to the Rumble.

Maybe it's just because I saw the clip after the fact and it was edited but when did she say that she'd be gone if she lost? From what I saw the contract talk was basically her explaining how she got the match with Asuka.
That said, I enjoyed the promo. For too long Becky's been punching down but with Asuka she has been nothing but respectful. She's given Asuka her props and sold her. I realize the plan for WM is probably Shayna but honestly I could see money in Asuka taking the title at Royal Rumble and Becky finally beating her at WM (ideally resulting in a somewhat short reign to give her a chance to breathe away from the singles titles).

Honestly, the match quality being great is one of the few positive things about the product in general, I'm sick of Becky holding the title, too, but I'm looking for the good stuff wherever I can find it and, a few lackluster matches not-withstanding, Becky at a PPV will more often than not deliver a great match and anyone with a pulse knows how phenomenal Asuka is. I just hope beyond hope that Asuka wins the title, stays heel (because she's so damn fun to watch as a heel) and we have Kairi as her sort of underling or a mini-boss. I couldn't agree with you more about Becky's run being out of steam and, honestly, I'm so, so damn close to saying that I'm flat out bored by Becky's reign and I never thought I'd say that about Becky; but I didn't think she'd still be the champion at this point back when she first won the belt.
