I thought it would've been cool to have Becky do the same, as a "fan", directly across from Charlotte, staring her out of it. Instead it looks like we're going back to the injury angle and hop-along Becky.

sirmanga wrote: » WWE are over complicating a storyline which should be straightforward; Becky wants to win the title at Mania. But now we've got doctors, McMahons, crutches, heelish beat downs, another woman involved in the match essentially making Rosuey a third wheel in a match where she's the defending champion, like The Rock at Summerslam 2000. Well, at least until last night, now Rousey has a reason to be involved in the story seen as she was beat up with a crutch for no reason by a fellow babyface.
Necro wrote: » In that case it worked then I think half the problem is that they want to try and portray Becky as this 'Stone Cold-lite' type antihero and it just doesn't work. It can't be replicated, no matter how hard they try. The whole Authority involvement has just been pants anyways and stinks of the McMahons having to get their greasy paws on anything remotely popular as usual.

sirmanga wrote: » Also, I have a very strong feeling that Rousey will win the 3 way match at Mania. Why? Because everyone is expecting Rousey to go away for a while after Mania, same situation as Brock a couple of times. Vince will think it's too obvious for her to lose, he'll think Rousey has lost some heat and is looking weak in the build up to Mania, so he'll have Rousey tap out Charlotte. Everyone will be shocked. And Rousey will stay around for another month and have a singles match with Becky. Might sound stupid but we've seen it many times. Things that make no sense. The day after Mania we'll see reports about Vince chaging his mind to have Rousey go over just hours before the match. Just look at past Manias to see how they've done things that made the preceding storylines worthless.

Since daniel bryan won at wm30, they have done what they want every year since and have being booed because of it, bar seths run-in. If they are going to listen to the fans and have the first ever womens main event at wm, then there is only one winner. And she isnt american.
J. Marston wrote: » I disagree. Just because they've gone against the fan's wishes at recent Manias doesn't mean they'll change now. And from a booking view; Becky has had Charlotte's number throughout the feud since last year, beating her clean twice. Can't see her doing it three times in a row. Also, Ronda Rousey is not tapping out to a pro wrestler's version of the armbar. Plus imagine the pull someone like Ric has! With Vince in her corner, I imagine they'll try some cheap version of WM17's ending where Charlotte beats Becky's legs with a chair a dozen times before making her tap. But I am a pessimist.

It might not get over on the night, but it would give the crowd a bit of a breather before the Bret Hart, Stone Cold and Hulk Hogan vs Vince McMahon, Ted DiBiase and Shawn Michaels six man tag main event that the Saudi Prince ordered.
