They've really neutered Becky these last couple weeks. I'm really curious how she's going to be able to get her momentum back (talking herself and not really the storyline)
Just a curious observer as I find the struggle to maintain the hype fascinating
I don't know if they've neutered her, or if they're making her the determined odds against her underdog.
I personally liked that Ronda beat the ever living hell out of her last night. Becky is better fighting the odds.
Basically she's got two enemies in this match feud Charlotte and Ronda who both want her dead. Becky gets to play the defiant angry face who's getting screwed at every turn.
If they had Becky come out and kick the crap out of Charlotte and Ronda then this feud doesn't sell.

Yeah the MMA 4 Horsewomen were always natural heels in a WWE universe that has always loved Charlotte, Becky, Sasha, and Bailey.
I think they got their year of "Face Ronda" in, and had her do all the media rounds and be nice to fans to help build the division.
But now the time was right to let her be more of her natural self and embrace more of a killer heel personality.
I think we got played a bit by the Becky, Ronda back and forth twitters where Ronda "Broke Kayfabe" and the dirt sheets released that there was heat on Ronda.
They want Ronda to come across as a killer who believes that she's just plain tougher and better and more of a killer then these woman of wrestling.

I have zero interest in seeing Charlotte added to the match but I bet what will happen is she takes the pin to make both Ronda and Becky look strong and keep Ronda's streak going.

What I mean was that Becky was white hot, making her apologize to the McMahons, when regardless of what she did the same result would have happened, Is what I am referring to as neutered. It was taking away from her without any reason to do so. While placing her in a fight against the odds they are making her appear weak to do so
I really think that the WWE has dropped the ball since the smackdown invasion in regards to Becky, and I'm really curious if Becky can raise herself from this
Charlotte is in a perfect position and has been doing well, Ronda is lost but both Becky and Charlotte are strong enough to carry this. But I really think that it's up to Becky to pull off another moment because right now they are losing it

I follow Peyton in Instagram, and frankly it looks like she and Billie just goof off all week. I mean they clearly work hard, but they have fun doing it.

This SUCKS a lot. I love this guy and think he has been one of the best heels of the past 20 years on any platform.
I was catching up on NXT last night and was watching him and Johnny. I was just taken with the way that he does his promos. He is so different from others, where he does not yell into the mic like most people. He just calmly talks like normal but you feel what he says and it is impactful. I take him much more seriously then I take other heels.

My guess is that they're going to continue this feud for a while while Daniel continues to be a surprisingly good heel. I expect that Kofi interferes in this as wll. Winner by DQ Daniel Bryan
SmackDown Tag Team Titles Match
Shane McMahon and The Miz vs. The Usos (c)
I'd really like to see Shane and Miz win this, because lets be honest, the Miz is great in a Champions role, but I believe that Shane is going to turn heel tonight and turn on the Miz and humiliate him in front of his dad. Winner The USO's
Triple Threat for the RAW Tag Team Titles
Ricochet and Aleister Black vs. Chad Gable and Bobby Roode vs. The Revival (c)
I expect that Ricochet and Black are going to win this one. Gable and Roode are nobodies, and the Revival are good at chasing the belts. Winner and new Tag Team Champions Ricochet and Black.
WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles Match
Nia Jax and Tamina Snuka vs. Sasha Banks and Bayley (c)
You're kidding right, Banks and Bayley retain. Jax and Snuka are a charisma vacuum and not great in the ring.
SmackDown Women’s Title Match
Mandy Rose vs. Asuka (c)
I expect they're going to continue to push both wrestlers. But Mandy isn't ready yet, and Ashuka needs the belt for credibility. Look for her to retain, but here's the gerbil on the wheel. Sonya who's awesome and ready for singles action screws over Mandy.
Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair If Lynch wins, she’s added to the WrestleMania 35 match with Flair and RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey to make it a Triple Threat. Lynch is “done” if she loses.
We know that Wrestlemania is going to be a triple threat. We know that Rousey is going to be involved and that she wants Becky in that match. Look for Ronda to come out and destroy both woman but it leads to a DQ win for Becky.
The Shield (Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose) vs. Drew McIntyre, Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley
God I hate the Shield reunion, its not needed, and there's a good chance that Seth is done after tonight with the company. Look for Dean to do a final turn on the Shield and walk out leading to Drew, Baron and Bobby winning.
Kickoff Pre-show
Rey Mysterio vs. Andrade
Hopefully Andrade takes this one
Kickoff Pre-show
The New Day vs. Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura
Rusev has really upped the social media whining act as well as Lana and Nak has been uninspiring for a while. New Day needs to win to help out on the Kofi push side. Look for the New Day to turn heel and then get involved in the KO, DB story line with Kofi.
