It's not working with her and it's never going to at this rate. Over the last year, she's only gone from Sasha's awkward lackey to Charlotte's awkward lackey. She's had the least evolution out of any of the 4 Horsewomen. Management thinks she's irrelevant, she's portrayed as irrelevant, it's been vocalized that she's irrelevant, and the fans think she's irrelevant. What's the point of her even being on the main roster? She's contributed nothing to the product in 3 months. Her promos are worse than early face Paige's, which is a level of failure that takes effort, she almost never wrestles, and she does nothing to help her teammates. She literally just sits at ringside and watches them lose. She needs to go back to NXT, fuck off with the awful jokes, get some severe help with character development, and establish herself as a worthy contender. Otherwise, she is guaranteed to take Natalya's spot as workrate enhancement talent for life.

Well I seem to remember Becky was getting over in the early stages of this so called 'revolution', back at Summerslam when she won the 3 way tag match for her team and actually had a couple single matches, the crowd were warming to her. But ever since that beat the clock shit they've just turned her in to a lackey who always gets her ass kicked in tag matches whilst being hell bent on getting Charlotte over, which has kinda failed as well. I can easily see Becky getting over, just give her a proper oppurtunity.

well it worked for emma didnt it...?

she was always the spare part on and off screen. even her fans (not the die hards) prefer sasha banks and or charlotte. she was doomed from the start.


as for sending nxt talent back to nxt. i think the fans would enjoy seeing becky, charlotte. sasha, neville and owens back on nxt as opposed to their raw personas. fuck even summer rae was good to watch on nxt

As I really want Becky to go back down to NXT and accomplish her dream of winning the Women's championship, the feeling of being back there would have her feel all in her lonesome because her journey there from beginning to now has drastically changed.

They just need to write more about her character besides the obvious corny jokes. :lol

Becky Lynch is more then ready for the main roster are you kidding me. If anything blame the booking. She probably the best worker of the four horsewoman with the most unique look. Say what you want about her mic work but I feel like her accent is endearing and jokes are corny. It's not her fault that all the spotlight is on Charlotte right now. Becky will get her time and people will grow to love her. Main roster has not seen what she has to offer yet.

I don't think she needs to be fired. She just needs to get her shit together, because she hasn't made any progress as a character since her debut. All she's done is change her look, and that, along with her match with Sasha, is what seems to be giving her the free pass around here. As stated above, Cena and Reigns get cruficied for being corny, even though that's what WWE wants, but all of a sudden it's ok for Becky because "it's her character" :kobe?

Her fans, who have followed her over the years through the Indy Scenes will feel hurt that that all her hard work will be for nothing if she is sent back to NXT (where Bayley is dominating and Eva Marie will dominate in the months to come)

Her critics, even if they respect her work will say that her accent is horrible and she has no character or value on the main roster apart from playing Rosa Mendes' character to Beth Phoeniz in 2008

Honestly when you look at it she is really horrible, no matter how you defend it. You can't ignore these bad jokes and say its part of her character, that's like saying John Cena corny jokes, that irritating smile of his and him No Selling is part of his character and we always criticize him for that

Becky was just starting to get over and find her character before they called her up for the so called revolution. She's not going to get character development on the main roster, and she's not going to get good promo material either. Neville was a main eventer in NXT and now he's a job boy. Kalisto could've been the new Mysterio, and he's a tag team job boy.

They don't know what to do with superbly talented workers who need some of their flaws hidden. Becky imo wrestled the best bell to bell pure wrestling match in WWE this year against Sasha. It's a shame they won't let her show her talents on the main roster.

This is hilarious.

OP is talking like going back to NXT is some kind of demotion. What the fuck are the Divas doing right now that's so special, that Becky needs to go away for? Nothing has really changed in the Divas division, and it's dumb to think that a female wrestler has to abide by the ridiculously high expectations of fans to create some sort of evolution when, in reality, it's all decided by creative control, and was forsaken for the benefit of giving Nikki Bella the title reign record.

So what's the point of putting her back to NXT? Not ready? Ready for what? Nothing's changed enough to make the Main Roster Divas Division look like the World League of Wrestling. Whether anyone wants to admit it or not, they're still boring enough to warrant whether or not I should take a piss during the match. Why? Because everything is out of their hands. So, I don't understand this need to put female wrestlers back down.

And it's even worse to do it now. To put Becky Lynch, one of the firstly promoted divas for the revolution, back to NXT in the same year it happened, would be outright admitting that the revolution was a complete and utter farce. And truthfully, it was. All of this insane talent, Becky included, and this talk of the Four Horsewomen, who for the majority of their main roster stay, were canon fodder for a Bella reign. And now she's not ready?

Screw that.

You're exactly right CraigWL if it wasn't for Sasha tearing it up in NXT she would've have been getting pops on the main roster. The highlight video from her iron man match got her a bigger pop than anything a diva has done in WWE this year.

Becky is going to get over with her wrestling the same as Cesaro, Ziggler, Neville, etc. If those kind of workers aren't allowed to actually work they aren't going to be that entertaining. The problem is they know as soon as the main roster audience sees what Sasha, Becky, and Charlotte can do against each other it'll make the Bellas look weak and we can't have that.

I find this thread funny because really if we sent down everyone on the main roster with no character or a shitty character their wouldn't be 5 people left to do a Raw with.

Look, its pretty evident by how they gave the belt to Charlotte that she's their main priority for the time being. I mean, I acknowledge that Sasha is getting some chants, but its incredibly obvious that for the time being, they have no plans for her. Becky, either. They want to, once again, push EVERYBODY. Paige, the Bellas, Naomi, Tamina, even Natalya is getting more screen time. Becky is just lost in the shuffle, and while Sasha has gotten somewhat more over based on her NXT stuff, the WWE has overlooked her, too. They should have just brought Charlotte up because they actually had direction for her. Sasha and Becky both should have stayed in NXT. Not because they aren't talented, mind you, but because there was nothing for them on the main roster. Now they're out of NXT and floundering. Neither has a feud, I can't remember even one promo Sasha has cut (that wasn't some backstage, WWE.com exclusive), Becky is just a lackey...there was no point in taking them out of NXT except as a hot shot method of trying to "revolutionize" the divas. The fact is, WWE has made divas the piss break match for so long that fans aren't going to suddenly, out of the blue believe that they're important after years upon years of being told they're a waste of time. This is going to take a while. Its going to take even longer if the remnants of the old era (the Bellas, Naomi, Alicia Fox, etc) are kept around and still being pushed. A revolution implies something entirely and radically different. What's different about any of the shit they're doing now except with 3 more girls? Longer matches that the fans still don't care about? Yippee.

Like I said before, they need to play to each person's strength. . . for Becky, it's in-ring performance. She should just be a badass in the ring.

They brought her up too early in order to do this angle, but they shouldn't have done the angle. They were bringing up Charlotte, they should have done that a few months earlier, by herself. Sasha should have been coming up around the Royal Rumble. Becky sometime after that, giving her more mic work down there.

If they still wanted to do the Revolution and needed a third, they should have used Emma, and gave her the character change then.

She's the least interesting Diva out of the group. She has gotten no development at all during this Revolution. If they don't make any changes to develop her, she's going to become another enhancement talent. It's a shame indeed.

Sasha is the most protected diva in the entire angle because she's the most talented. In a sea of horrible decisions WWE has made, they're actually making the right one with her.

They hear the crowd loud and clear.

There isn't a more complete diva on either roster and time will prove that. You'll grit your teeth and deal with it or either find something else to occupy your time when she's on the screen, but the wheel will continue to spin whether you like it or not.

Poor direction and things like this end up being collateral damage when you make roster moves and allot creative attention based on a farce of a Revolution.

They don't really seem to care about their women overall. This is about

1. Steph's ego
2. Trying to lure Ronda Rousey for a Wrestlemania match with Stephanie. Which goes back to #1 .
3. Looking progressive, while not actually addressing the core problems. Which goes back to #2 .
4. Catering to a heritage act in Charlotte. The pattern of which we have seen before.
 
#144 ·
SO TRUE, especially 1-3. This "revolution" was and is primarily to stroke Stephanie's ego and NOT about changing how women's wrestling is viewed and presented, regardless of how sincere Triple H is about actually creating change. It will be interesting to see if they stop caring altogether if Ronda is indeed unavailable for Mania as rumored. Personally I hope she stays away and that the women get to do something special, because they deserve to succeed and thrive based on their talent and ability and not because WWE wants Rousey at Mania.

It seems clear to me that Paige and Becky have a feud coming soon- I'll reserve judgement until after that plays out. I like Becky but I'll be honest: of all the women on either roster she's given me the least reason to care about her character besides Billie and Peyton who haven't had proper opportunity. Becky has.

Tell the truth guys-- workrate aside, if Becky wasn't hot and didn't have an accent would any of you give a fuck about her character? Would it still be cute and charming if it was Nattie playing her corny ass gimmick? Stop watching wrestling with your dicks, the one eyed monster doesn't see so well.

They're going mad on Raw now chanting for Becky Lynch, she seems the most over in this match right now ... not completely sure why, but they are chanting her name like crazy here with 'We want Becky' and stuff.

Paige, Charlotte, Nikki, Brie and Alicia in the match, as well as Becky Lynch .... who's getting the biggest reaction by far.
 
#148 ·
I actually love Becky's jokes. I know they may be dorky, but who cares, puns are fun and they show her to be very intelligent, an excellent wordsmith. Besides, at least it not her being catty, which seems to be the default character for most of the women.

Her problem is that they are forcing her to take a back seat to Charlotte, to be nothing but a cheerleader. She should have been wrecking chicks after Paige called her irrelevant, but she hasn't done anything, I don't remember the last singles match she had.
