A look into WWE playing hot potato with the RAW and SmackDown Women's Championships

[2CT]

They don't appreciate Becky at all. She was one of the best babyfaces in the company during her title program last year. And then she got pushed aside because, apparently, Kevin Dunn doesn't like her accent.

agreed, Becky's reign was WAY too short but i'm more of a fan of Naomi so i was glad to see her get the long reign

i think they should trade Becky and Bayley, let Bayley feud with Carmella since she's getting the most heat on SD outta all the women right now and let Sasha turn heel and feud with Becky

Alexa and Nia can get their heads knocked off by :asukasgonnakillu1: for the rest of the year

Stuff like Sasha being a 4 time champion without a single successful title defense is part of why I've never been a big fan of the whole person is "X times champion" thing.

Also reminds me of when they'd hype The Ascension being the longest reigning and most dominant NXT tag champs, despite their reign consisting of 95% non-title jobber squashes and maybe 4 actual defenses.

It's not really impressive if you held it X amount of times or X amount of days if you immediately lose it or rarely defend it.

I like how certain companies in Japan put more focus on the number of successful title defenses than the length. With Asuka, they had a nice balance of repping the length while still pointing out the people she defeated.

Yeah the whole thing never made sense because, unlike in most legit sports, you have to lose the title to win it again. Everyone just rolled with it all these years because it sounds good and is technically correct, but its pretty dumb.

it's just dumb, and reaks of vince not actually following sports.
imagine if anderson silva had lost his title 10 different times. ufc would not be using that number as a sign of how great he is.

in kayfabe, punk's rein as wwe champ is probably the most impressive of the last 20+ years.

edit: and new day

I feel like that shyt ain't really important like that. it's the womens title breh..


like how prestigious can a womens title be? its a womens title lol


the little girls in audience watching this shyt aren't stressing about if the womens title is losing prestige and esteem because people are having short reigns. They're eating this shyt up.. So I don't know.. I feel like it doesn't really matter..

Speak for yourself.

You can do a quick google search for those kinds of things and better in just a few minutes. Those bra and panties days are over. I want to see women wrestling competitive matches and the rest of the audience feels the same. It's the reason why women can main event Raw and Smackdown and bring in strong ratings.

I'm at a loss for words. This thread needs to be gassed :chiefbytchofficer:

Charlotte and Becky haven't even been on TV in weeks.

Charlotte is understandable because of Ric

SmackDown has been fine for the most part with Naomi's injury earlier in the year being the hiccup.

They still haven't pulled the trigger on a Charlotte / Becky feud but they kinda blown that when Becky made Charlotte tap a while back.

RAW has been doing the hot potato since even before the brand split. Charlotte and Sasha had more matches with each other than the amount of people who care for Ziggler.

Except Asuka and Ember got a standing ovation. They care more than a Roman Reigns match apparently.

That's NXT. It's going to be different one they got the main roster
