Raw General Discussion Thread

[Deezy]

I know that Becky Lynch didn't bring in any new viewers because I got raked over the coals for saying Ronda was brought in to get that same audience lol

 

[Comrade Khan]

Yes, n weren't ppl cheering for her to be added to rumble when she wasn't announced and made an impromptu appearance? It all plays into the injury n that moment

 

[Comrade Khan]

The injury did get her the rumble win though

Exactly

Yeah this I agree with lol not sure if it's still the same convo we started with though

 

[Comrade Khan]

I can't speak for post win booking though cuz wwe gonna wwe though

 

[Chris]

If she didn't get injured she wouldn't have needed to win the rumble bc she would have currently been champion...or not bc WWE coulda booked her to lose at TLC for a dumb reason so who knows

It's fine I came in not fully expanding anyways , I don't agree praising Nia tho I I it's a funny sentiment. I do think the moment itself ended up being the staple of tge man character n what she's all about. I don't disagree not seeing her for a while sucked at the time either. But now is now n i can say it was probably worth it

[Comrade Khan]

But she could have for sure

See I agree with all of this until your last line lol it might be worth it to Becky idk but looking back now idk if it was for my own enjoyment I loved the moment at the time but really until her return this year, I haven't enjoyed Becky much after it, not near as much as I was enjoying her up until her face got broken

She was 100% losing at survivor series but the match was gonna be the most hype shit

 

[Comrade Khan]

Well they immediately turned her face didn't they after? She was doing some pandering bs at some point fsure

 

[Comrade Khan]

Oh I remember , I was also heavily involved watching this era

 

[Comrade Khan]

It's the time thst made me hate Charlotte n I was a huge fan lol

 

[Dale]

Without that visual and broken face, Becky doesn’t main event Wrestlemania. Like Deezy said, Ronda/Charlotte does. Give BBWJAXXX props for once Dale

Hard disagree. Her getting the concussion and being pulled was a left turn in the road, her not getting the concussion and facing Ronda at SS was a right turn in the road. Either way those roads are connecting back up and into the story we got and I won't be convinced otherwise.

By all accounts, that Survivor Series match was set to go the exact same way it did in the Charlotte match but with Becky doing the beatdown of Ronda. From there you can still end up with Ronda costing her title at the next PPV and hey presto we're back at the Rumble.
