For as great as Becky has been on social media and just getting herself over in general, I feel like Rousey has more than held her own in responding and doing the same. Becky is getting to the point of predictability and almost self parody. Rousey's responses remind me of that scene in 8 Mile where Eminem freestyle's everything his opponent is gonna say about him before he gets the chance to.

She's still not ready to be in this position.

What a shame. I thought the first two segments were pretty good.

Which is a miracle because he was legit the best thing in Impact Wrestling and basically kept that company alive circa 2015-16.

Honestly, he should never have left if this was the result (mediocre NXT push and on his way to main roster irrelevancy). This isn't even the case of him being some charisma vaccum or being only a wrestler or not having size. The guy in theory should be a Vince guy, he's big, decent (if not spectacular) in the ring and oozes Charisma.

But then, Vince.

EC3 made his name somewhere else. That means he's going to have to pay the price for a little while by being booked like crap. Look at what they did to Lashley. Hell, even Styles had to put over Jericho of all people at his first 'Mania.

Yeah it was a great start, the Becky Lynch segment and then that Rousey segment were both fantastic i thought (well, the latter one if they're setting up Rousey as a heel).

Since Raw ratings went down. Jeff Jarrett still doesn't draw a dime :lol: (it had to be done).

There's been a lot of reports of Gable/Roode vs Revival going for 30+ minutes a night at house shows and being wrestling clinics.

LET THEM DO IT ON TV.

Are they intentionally interrupting Elias on purpose? Hahaha Becky and Finn start chatting on the back, then they roll a Seth Rollins promo, now Lucha House Party. :Lol:

They should find a way to move Becky to RAW so she can start wrestling there and interacting with the women there. There is nothing left for her on Smackdown aside from Charlotte now. All these talking segments with her and the McMahons is running the main event storyline into the ground. It finally hit me now why the Road to Wrestlemania isn't doing very well in the TV ratings. This Becky/Ronda/McMahons feels like it's running out of gas early and nobody else on either program feels relevant outside of the main storyline they are flogging.

Rivalry with Becky and Rousey started off great. Great intense opening promo.

Then Steph/HHH decided they must be in on a good thing. And have taken over this storyline. Let the fn workers work.

Great end to raw. New tag champs, Becky suspended, Charlotte replacing her in the match, Charlotte didn't say a damn word but jeez, she looked badass, hahaha.

Now it'll be interesting to see how they turn it into a triple threat match.
