Meh. Give it to Becky.

http://nodq.com/wwe/474342856.shtml

As seen on Tuesday's episode of SmackDown Live, WWE introduced a new Women's Championship for the brand, and the holder of the Title will be decided in a match of six competitors at the WWE Backlash event.

We have been informed that current plans call for Nikki Bella who returned from injury at Sunday's SummerSlam event, to win the Championship on the show. It's being said that putting Nikki as the forefront of the SmackDown Women's division with help establish the championship. The company also feels that this is a good move because Nikki is considered the most accomplished women on the brand's roster.

It'd be more gratifying to have Becky being the baby face that she is, chase the belt, and win it eventually from Nikki.

It wasn't totally down to her but Nikki's title reign was the reason that a lot of people got sick of the women's booking in the first place. Putting the belt back on her would be a horrible idea.

Give Becky her reward, she's chased for long enough.

Becky was drawing chants for just standing there during the announcement of the women's title. But yeah, lets give it to Cena's girlfriend again. Because her last reign was so over, and totally didn't kill the idea of women's wrestling.

This type of shit is exactly why they constantly lose the crowd. Fans want this, but we'll give them the "Nikki's redemption" storyline instead. Following the Roman's Redemption storyline on RAW. But it's okay, when they boo, that just means we're drawing heat!!!

We already have 4 Horsewoman shoved down our throats on Raw and it'll stay that way for years to come. I can wait a little longer for Becky to get it. Nikki is best choice right now.

Becky fans get upset easily...

Granted she deserves a Title reign after she's had to put over the inferior horsewomen so often. But as said in the little write up Nikki is the most accomplished woman on SD, so putting the belt on her first establishes it and she deserves it after returning from an injury that almost ended her career. Becky Lynch isn't the only woman in the universe that deserves a Title run.

Anyone can establish it if given the opportunity. Ringside news is a terrible news source. It's way too easy to have Carmella screw Nikki out of the title. You don't draft Becky high, put her over big then have them chase. You make that pick the face of the division. No one is saying that only Becky deserves it, they are saying you don't draft Becky high, hype them up big just to make them chase, it doesn't make much sense.

Yeah, it'll establish the belt all right. It'll establish it as the DIVAS championship, which is what you've been trying to get as far away from as possible for the last year. If she wins that title, that division will be deader than dead. It already looks completely secondary to Raw, now you're gonna put the title on somebody who embodies the absolute wrong approach to what gets over.

I guess their idea is that only the women's division on Raw gets to be put over.

This makes sense to me, a new title needs a credible champion which Becky is not. She never won the Diva's title, the NXT Women's title or Raw Women's title, she hasn't won much more than half her matches and has no marquee wins. You can say she "deserves" it but I don't think you can say her winning is best for the prestige of the title.
All that may be true, but she's the only one the fans are willing to get behind at a top level. Natalya has been beaten down for too many years like Dolph Ziggler, and doesn't have a personality, and the others are divas.

Good choice. She's the only female star on the brand who has appeal outside of the smark base.

And if you're going to give it to someone who deserves it, then it needs to go to Naomi. She's been there for so long and has never been given an opportunity. No one outside of this forum cares if she came from the horse-faced women's era of NXT or not. Same Alicia isn't on SD. She's someone else who deserves another run with a title before someone like Becky.

Bullshit. Nikki is more over than almost every other woman and has appeal outside of the company that no other woman has.

"What gets over" :lol That doesn't mean shit when you look at how god awful the ratings are with people like Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, Dean Ambrose, etc as the faces of the company.

Ugh, not Nikki. I don't think I could handle another title reign of hers.

If they don't pull the trigger on Becky sometime soon, by the time they actually get around to it, nobody will care. The fans are gonna stop caring if they drag it out too long.

I also don't get WWE's logic with Nikki - she returned as part of the heel team, but played up to the crowd and seemed to forget which side she was on. Then they seemingly have her turn face, despite Carmella's attack on her getting a quite good pop? Plus, Nikki seems more of a heel to me, she's never really suited being a face, she just seems too bitchy.

People need to stop with this "you need to just be patient" nonsense. We HAVE been patient, REALLY patient. Some people here act like she's been on the main roster for like two weeks and people are demanding she get the belt. "Some people just want things here and now," umm, it's been YEARS now. She was the black sheep in NXT, the ONLY one of the four to NOT get an NXT title reign (even Bayley got one). Then she comes up to the main roster almost two years ago and has been a glorified jobber ever since. She was the third wheel in the Charlotte/Sasha feud and was used to prop both of them up. She jobbed to Dana freaking Brooke (whom Bayley has beaten twice in two weeks), she gets moved over to SDL and is in a pointless feud with Natalya, and not she's just trading wins and losses.

Don't act like she's had a rocket strapped to her back and gotten a super-push. Her fans have been extremely patient. And the whole "underdog Becky constantly losing/getting screwed over is just boring and annoying at this point imo. I'm really not invested in it anymore, it's gone on long-enough. Time to give her her due and having her be the very first holder of a new title is a perfect way to do that. Some of the all-time greats have done that, so Becky would be in good company.

And it's certainly better than giving it to the woman who, while I don't really have an issue with her personally, is basically the poster child for the "Divas Era" that was so reviled.

Nikki is a face so if she wins there will be no chase for Becky as face chasing a face in WWE is extremely rare

If Nicky wins the people chasing her will be Carmella first then Eva then nattie or bliss

I don't think Nikki wins because she is the middle of a feud with Carmella

Becky winning you can immediately have Eva chase which they clearly want

I can't believe that i'm saying this, but Eva Marie would've been the best option for the title right now. It also would've been great for Becky fans because Eva gets NUCLEAR heat and fans would be emotionally invested in Becky chasing the title. I'm not sure what putting the title on Nikki accomplishes tbh, especially as a face. The run will probably get stale extremely quickly because Nikki is better suited as an obnoxious heel
