Everyone wasting all this time and energy trying to come up with plausible booking schemes for Becky Charlotte Ronda, when the answer is as plain as the nose on your face:

Just imagine the dumbest path the current booking could possibly take, then multiply it by ten, and add in whatever will give Vince maximum jollies, and Bob's your uncle.

Why does everyone assume Becky is the one that has to lose the belt? Have Ronda lose the belt at TLC or sometime before the Rumble, she wins the Rumble, challenges Becky at WM, boom.

becky loses the title to a nia jax who is allowed to brand hop for reasons that are never explained and then only wins the rumble and the right to challenge ronda because nia tripped, fell on becky knocking her out, and then somehow bounced over the top rope and out of the ring

Because they aren't going to let Ronda lose before Wrestlemania. Especially on a B-Tier PPV to Nia Jax. Who has already lost all of that heat she has gotten for punching Becky Lynch.

e: There are going to be a lot of disappointed people here when Becky loses or vacates the Smackdown Women's title before the Royal Rumble.

Yeah she can lose to Nia Jax!

(Also just give Becky both belts and figure it out later post-WM)

Because WWE will likely want to have all of the singles titles on the line that night. A champ vs champ match at Wrestlemania eliminates a title match from the equation, and they aren't going to let Ronda or Becky become dual champ as long as the brand split is in place.

Unless they are ending the brand split!

Yes because Becky losing the title is loving stupid. And if you're saying people will be disappointed and still fantasy booking it, you're not even realizing how dumb the whole idea is.

I'm pretty sure Darkstar is just trying to parse out how this will happen in Vince's fake logic world. Also, you can lose a title any number of ways without losing momentum. Asuka vacated the NXT Women's Title and it didn't hurt her one iota.

The hurt came later.

You could put Becky vs Nia at the Rumble for the Smackdown belt. Do a bunch of shenanigans in the run up and make it title changes hands on a DQ.
Have it open the show.
Have Tamina toss in a chair to the ring.
Becky takes the chair off Nia, kicks her down, looks at the chair, looks at the title.
Beat the hell out of Nia with the chair.
Loses the belt.
Knocks out some jobber backstage, enters the Rumble and wins.

Eh, for once I think the Becky we like works best in WWE.

She'd still be good anywhere else, but it's the WWE constant promo/contract signings/backstage segments/etc. presentation style that's really elevating her.

That could work because she'd still be the lineal Man if she dropped the belt.

Becky loses the title because she can't compete due to injury. She cuts a firey promo that is interrupted by Naomi and Asuka. They enter the ring and call Becky a loser and a turd and she just stands there silent doing nothing. Camera cuts to backstage where Drake Maverick pees his pants as Dean Ambrose does a silly walk behind him. Cut again to a Rousey v Jax hype video. Commercial for shop dot com merch featuring The B Team. Commercial for Cricket Wireless featuring Sasha Banks and Dolph Ziggler. Back to RAW for a 6man tag. Show ends with Cole pimping USA Network's pop country reality show up next.

I'm not reading all of your bad fantasy booking, but I want to point out that stars like Ronda are going to be going to Smackdown by the time the show goes to Fox in October, so you should probably keep that in mind when you argue about who's dropping a belt and going to X brand.

Considering Vince completely buried Smackdown at Survivor Series, I don't think he sees Smackdown as the A-Show or ever will. Plus I can see WWE holding off on the shakeup until after Summerslam next year so they can pop a big rating on their first FOX episode.

You've got to admit, you are kind of implausible



What they should've done was strip Becky of the belt, and presented it to Charlotte. Then have Shane pick Charlotte to face Ronda at Survivor Series, while announcing that Becky is not cleared to wrestle, and won't be for (kayfabe) months.

Then every Smackdown and PPV is just Becky coming out and Stone Cold Stunning everyone until Shane caves and lets her back in.

Went back and watched the angle where Roman attacked his arm in a sling and the angle from last night. Looks like they were both his left elbow.

Needing surgery on the same elbow twice in a year and a half cannot be good at all. Plus if his knees are as bad as it sounds...

Geez. Braun. :smith:

Vince really is going to just hemm and haw for the next 18+ months not truly putting over Braun, Seth, or Drew banking on Roman coming back in 2020 being physically capable of picking up exactly where he left off.
