    Shocked but delighted if she wins it.

    All biases aside I really do think she wins. The Four Way seems to be a way of getting the belt off Charlotte without her getting pinned. If Sasha was the next Champ is would have won it by now. I think they will save Bayley's title win for down the road. Sasha and Becky's relationship seems to be the forefront storyline build for the match. Two weeks ago the commentary mentioned they were an alliance not a friendship.

    Before the last NXT Takeover in December I wrote about this exact same Four Way being the plan for that show and at that time Becky was going over. They decided on a singles Sasha vs Charlotte match instead. Maybe Becky winning is no longer the plan at least at one stage.

    If you look past February's Takeover what's the next feud if Charlotte gets called up? Anything but Becky vs Sasha (vs Bayley) seems stale.

    Yep I can see Becky pinning Sasha to win it and then Charlotte being written off with a further loss.

    I just don't think Becky is champ material yet. Then again this is NXT and all about seeing if they sink or swim.

    Becky has grown lately but she's still in Sasha's shadow. Time to give her a chance on her own imo.

    Or have Bayley win. I'm grand with both.

    Don't see Becky winning, but I can see her preventing Sasha from winning, to start that feud.

    Wish Becky Happy Birthday today if you get the chance. She's away from family and friends AND she's mere days away from likely fulfilling one of her greatest ambitions and winning a WWE title.

    This is already gaining steam as a hashtag:

    Lina is the Rock's real cousin. She was in the car with Rock's mother that was struck by a drunk driver last August. She's similarly built as Tamina.

    I got my birthday tweet favourited by becky and I've also got a retweet off her. I know we are just slightly biased but she is great in the ring and just comes across as a lovely person. So yes I hope she wins the belt at the next nxt ppv.

    I rewatched NXT just there. I've been very critical/over analytical of Becky's matches to the point of never really enjoying them especially on first watch. But she has toned down her OTT facial expressions and the in ring franticness a tremendous deal from a few months ago. Thought she was the best thing in the match last week from an execution standpoint.

    She has changed a lot thankfully, looked out if her comfort zone/trying a bit too much to find that comfortable place. Seems to be more natural now.

    Proud of Becky. I think see converted a lot of people in a breakout performance. I got there's loads of gifs of her suplexes tomorrow if Taz was impressed:

    Apparently the live crowd thought this was Sasha initially:

    Me too.

    That was Becky's best work so far imo. She was great. That suplex to Sasha was sick.

    Great performance by Becky. Hope she takes that Womens Championship someday soon.

    While I love Becky I hope she does away with her headbanging. It looks silly and she doesn't need it. Her attire last night was a great improvement though.

    Her ring gear was a great improvement and yeah I really liked some of the stuff she did in that match like the highlighted pump-handle suplex.

    Might sound weird but im actually happy she didn't win the title as I think it is too early for her character but now she can more naturally move into the main event scene as a rivalry with Sasha would def work.

    Not going into last night's tapings too much but things seem pretty good for her so no complaints. Yeah Becky has stepped it up a lot presentation wise the past year.

    At least Bayley cropped Becky out of this pic when she posted it on social media:

    Also Bayley's abs belong in the Divas thread.

    In terms of the NXT tapings taped down the road of relevance to Becky:
    * Bayley vs. Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte in a #1 contender’s match is next. Becky wins after pinning Bayley while Charlotte had Bayley in a Figure Four.

    Just have to share the picture of the pin :p

    Oddly Alexa Bliss has a title match with Sasha Banks later in the same taping. Hope Becky didn't lose her title shot in a game of conkers with Alexa backstage.

    This interview with Becky just surfaced:



    Her story is amazing and she tells it really warmly. There's a few things she hasn't said on record before. If you want to know why I like Becky as much as I do it is there. She's just sound and REALLY loves Wrestling.
