WWE General Discussion II

[Spens1]

Well inserting Charlotte into the Rousey feud doesn't make much sense either because they really haven't had a lot to do with each other, it would just show the blatant favouritism they have towards Charlotte (part of the reason Becky is so over, is because Charlotte has become a golden girl and basically the female Roman in some aspects).

Charlotte has had a match with Rousey that ended up unresolved and was screwed by Rousey at TLC too. She has as much interaction with Ronda as Becky has. Maybe less promos, but she's part of it.

And yes, they'll lean into the Charlotte favoritism part to stack the deck against Becky. Notice how Charlotte has morphed into a pest role. They'll weasel her in, and fans will be upset. But it won't matter in the end because Becky is winning the RAW title at Wrestlemania--I'm 95% sure of it.

(As if Becky getting FOTC treatment isn't obvious enough already)

The SD women's title match is low priority. They probably don't even have a plan yet other than wanting Asuka to be the one with the belt going into Mania. Beyond that, it's not a main focus for them. It will likely end up a multiwomen match.

Well they could use the Daniel Bryan formula but for once i wish they'd just keep it somewhat simple and just do the 1 on 1 feud without uneccesary McMahon interference (actually i just wished the McMahon family disappeared from the product forever) and Charlotte nonsense.

Keep in mind the original plan, until Becky got hurt, was that Charlotte was probably going to win the Rumble and face Ronda at Mania. Becky would have faced Ronda at Survivor Series, and that would be it. So in a way Becky was gifted a trip to Wrestlemania by missing her Survivor Series match. Since it seems unfair to Charlotte to completely bump her out of the big match since she played a big role in helping Becky become what she is now, the fair thing (as an employer) to Charlotte is to put her in. Yes, many of the fans don't want her, but the compromise will be that Becky will win at Wrestlemania.

The company likes Charlotte. She's still the main spokesperson for the WWE women's division. She's willing to take clean losses to put over people. I think they feel like she deserves to be a part of the big match in some way, even if she doesn't win the match.

Moreover, Charlotte is a heat magnet which can protect Ronda from some of the boos. We know Ronda is emotional and can let crowds get to her. Having Charlotte in to absorb some of the heat will protect Ronda in what could be a bad night for her (especially if she loses her title as well).

I don't understand how people are against having Charlotte in this match with Ronda and Becky. She's clearly the most compete wrestler in the company and can lead matches to perfection. With Nia injuring Becky, like what we mentioned, it instantly gave Becky the main event at WM with Ronda, people wanted the match at SS and now have to wait. Charlotte taking her place was awesome, it was a great match and fueled that feud. Ronda screwing both Becky and Charlotte was amazing. Both Becky and Charlotte have legit heat with Ronda. I feel like if it was just Becky v Ronda, it wouldn't be nearly as good as people are expecting it to be. They need Charlotte in this match, for many reasons.

It's not so much that people dislike Charlotte as it is that constantly pushing her is just going to make the fans turn on her like they did with Roman. WWE needs to learn some restraint.

[LLJ]

Well with Charlotte at least they are kind of making her a heel now for the most part. They aren't trying to shove her through as a goody babyface anymore.

I don't like the whole Charlotte v Asuka idea. I just don't. Yes, it would make the SD match better, but the current situation doesn't benefit either woman. Charlotte is on a 2-7 PPV stretch. She's slumping, and taking a loss to Asuka at WM35 is pointless for Charlotte. Conversely, Charlotte beating Asuka is also pointless.

I feel like people would be perfectly happy if Charlotte just kept losing for another 2 years or so, but I don't think the WWE feels that way.

[bestnamezRtaken]

Yeah, I also don't like the idea of Charlotte facing Asuka at WM either thinking about it. I don't want either woman to lose at WM, unless Charlotte is in the triple threat match, which she should be. I'm not saying she needs to win, but she needs to be in that match. They can really toy with the emotions of the fans with Charlotte by having her get close finishes. To me it's a no brainer.

Read an article by bleacher report I believe, saying WWE should create a third main roster show with a new set of titles (heavyweight championship, Television championship, tag titles, women's) for people who aren't getting TV time. I think I'd be okay with that. Give people like Sanity, Andrade, EC3, KO, Zayn, Ryder, Breeze, call up Gargano, Chaimpa, Baszler, Sane, etc etc etc a chance to shine. Dunno if I'd be able to watch it weekly but I think it would help.

205 isn't it's own brand, it's an extension of Raw. This article talked about also having the third brand be on a network on either Wednesday or Thursday, I don't recall which day.

But Ali came from 205 Live and he's suddenly having matches with the WWE champ, matches with Samoa Joe and Randy Orton, tagging with AJ Styles, has pinned the WWE champ Daniel Bryan.

[Stanford]

205 is an extension of Raw? In what way? I admit I've never watched it.

[improper]

I don't think 205 is an extension of Raw any more, but it's also Network-exclusive, so less potential eyeballs on it.

[bestnamezRtaken]

Well, it's the reason why Lucha House Party, whom all appear on 205 Live, also appear on Raw. You'll get 205 Live guys every so often making an appearance on Raw.

[LLJ]

205 is taped before Smackdown (or after) these days fwiw.

It always has been, even when the cruiserweights actually were a part of the Raw roster at the show's start.

Well that sucks.

Bray Wyatt

It'll be either Nakamura or Rusev maybe.

If it ends up one of those 2, then it's a good guess they are keeping Mysterio away from Bryan for an important reason.

[tugs]

I'd want Bray but that's too random.

I want Shinsuke but no way he's winning.

I want Rusev but no way he's winning.

Either would be great though. Keep them in high profile matches.
