Some good branding

I like it more than “The Man” tbh

Some may like or hate the new gimmick. It is good to see change inside of wrestling and a wrestler. The Man Gimmick was running it's course and now it is time for a new persona.

Never had an issue with this bc I thought it made perfect sense with the Charlotte angle but holy shit I never expected it to blow up the way it did lmao Becky explaining to casuals who don't realize it's a reference to Ric Flair's nickname why she was called the man was always hilarious to me

'The Man' character was still an asshole, she's still going to be pretty much the same just with a different coat of paint on if you will.

I feel like it's exactly the same just a different nickname lol and that's not a bad thing either, I wanted the same Becky back and I think people are focusing way too much on the heel stuff acting like this is so different

Big Time Becks sounds generic

I remember when Becky was an asshole towards Nikki Cross in 2019.
