    Ronda is garbage except for when shes in the ring. Wrestlemania isn't until April. They'll add Charlotte so they'll have 2 people to do 95% of the talking over the next 3 months instead of just 1.

    If you want to kill Beckymania, that's how it'll be done.

    If they add Charlotte to the mix I hope they force Ronda to also show up on Smackdown. Bullshit to take two Smackdown stars and completely take them off the A show.

    On the flip side what the hell do you do with Asuka? They haven't built up a challenger really on either brand. Sure they have three months but a bunch of talent is gonna be involved with that tag team shit.

    I would be OK with Ripley debuting on Smackdown tonight and that being her Opponent. I fear they will end up making the Smackdown title a cluster fuck of a ladder match or some garbage six way.

    Probably just give her a blow off feud for the next 6 weeks, maybe you build Nikki Cross during that time period? If Becky and Charlotte are going to RAW, you have to figure some talent is going the other way. Maybe Asuka vs Riot Squad? Her and Ruby Riot could put on a hell of a match if they let them go at it.

    Also WWE is going to want to get the boos off of Ronda. Probably figure putting Charlotte in that match with shift some of the crowd vitriol off of Ronda.

    Charlotte is a worse promo that Ronda. Ronda was fire when she was playing the heel last night, which she would be in this feud.

    Put Charlotte in there and now you're asking Becky to carry the mic work between one worker who stumbles over her scripts and flops when asked to improv, and another worker who can't read a scripted promo but can at least go off the cuff.

    I don't understand why this company doesnt just let characters who work better as heels just be heels. Especially in this case when you have a cut and dried obvious babyface in the other corner. Both Charlotte and Ronda work better as the villain.

    And all Flairs suck as babyfaces. It's not in their DNA.

    When Ember Moon comes back from injury, send her to Smackdown to face Asuka, otherwise she’s not going to sniff a title run on Raw for at least a year.

    Also, calling it now. Ember Moon wins the 2020 Royal Rumble

    I doubt Charlotte is switching brands. They move to Fox later this year, all their favorites will be pushed over there by summerslam or the week after I bet.

    They're reportedly working with two different networks, one that offers more money and less exposure and one that offers less money and more exposure.

    I wouldn't expect any kind of announcement until the May show at least, and it may not even be then. They would probably start in the fall with the rest of the TV schedule, so there's no great hurry.

    Open challenges the next 3 months. Cleans out the division, and declares an open challenge for anybody not on the Smackdown roster for Mania. Perfect debut spot for Bazzler.

    Yeah, this is how you build resentment towards her. There are two clear one-on-one matches that could get everyone over.

    Adding Charlotte would get just Becky over, assuming she wins

    Feel like Charlotte's been a heel for a while now :idk:

    And no I don't believe throwing in another player to the mix, who will only incite the ravenous Becky fan base even more, and also happens to put on incredible matches with everybody, will ruin Becky's main event.

    Do agree with this though

    I think adding Charlotte to Becky/Rhonda would be a plus, but it's a match that doesn't need her, and would probably kill the SD title match.

    So this might have been the move that injured Ember Moon

    Doubtful, she lands pretty squarely on Ember's stomach. Botch for sure, but not what hurt her elbow. From something I read they filmed some Main Event match and then Ember came out with the sleeve on for the Rumble, so probably got it hurt beforehand.

    Also, out of curiosity since I rarely watch Raw: Had Ember even started cutting any promos? Last I remember all her shit was WWE.come interview stuff. Everyone thinks she's great because of one move, I never saw it.

    I mean, Kenny is getting announced this weekend (I think?). PAC is awesome. Hangman is a main event talent.

    I have a strong feeling Pentagon and Fenix (who I’ll be seeing in a little over a week!) haven’t announced anywhere because AEW are doing a rolling thunder of talent announcements. At least, that’s how I’d do it.

    I’m gonna break good brother Bankz of his WWE programming if it’s the last thing I do!!! :awesomeface:

    I’ve watched nearly every Cody match since he left WWE and you can’t name a single top tier match he’s had. Not even Omega could get a top tier match out of him.

    Ambrose was never a top tier wrestler on the Indys and nothing in WWE suggest otherwise.

    Grandpa gut Jericho and his clown face paint hasn’t had a great non gimmick match in 10 years

    She’s been on fire since that Ronda match.

    I’m ready for a triple threat. And Becky win
