This is an excellent illustration of another problem with present WWE booking. They overexpose the poo poo out of the workers, meaning a build that could do a couple months of matches seems old three weeks in.

Yeah, I'm going to have to agree on the whole Becky "The Man" stuff. It's getting really old real quick. Especially now that WWE is leaning into it. It was good at first, but now it's gotten incredibly obnoxious.

wwe is really bad at trying to build things and instead works week-to-week, blowing through feuds by rote memorization because theyve got tv time to fill and a network special to book, yes i agree, but the man gimmick is still good are u kidding me

I think when I sit down and think about it, the issue has less to do with Becky and the gimmick and more along the lines of some of her fans thinking she shouldn't be allowed to lose in any shape or form until after Wrestlemania (assuming she faces and beats Ronda).

Becky has improved her mic work and she always has been excellent in the ring. I dont know why is so hard to some people in this thread to acept that the man gimmick is really shallow and tiresome. Charlotte beating the crap out of Rhondha was better than whatever Becky is doing right now AND she was te MVP in the ladder match.

Hopefully they did. Considering if you factor in Nikki and Lacey, and potentially Alexa if she's cleared in time, that would make the total number of women on the main roster alone in the Rumble around 25-26 people. You could do some cameos from NXT (UK) as a result as well. Toni Storm, Shayna Baszler, Rhea Ripley, and maybe Kairi or Io as the fourth woman. Two from NXT UK, two from NXT.

Old school booking logic isn't actually awful. Two heavily protected people fighting is good. I don't want Becky or Rousey losing clean before Wrestlemania. Charlotte can lose all she wants, though, she's ridiculously established.

Your WreslteMania main-eventer should not be losing in any shape or form before WrestleMania, this is not that hard to grasp

Becky's Raw invasion happened less than two months ago and now her gimmick is "old." Or maybe she had a concussion and hasn't been able to do much outside social media while we're in "stall until Wrestlemania season" time.

We don't even know quite yet if Becky will be main eventing Wrestlemania, which is the problem. It's very likely she will be, but at the same time remember that Vince just completely tossed out the Royal Rumble card for literally no reason other than Vince being Vince. For all we know by time the Royal Rumble comes around, he could decide that he wants to run Ronda vs Charlotte, and Becky vs Nia at Wrestlemania.
