I think it's ridiculous to give the Women's IC title, a title with zero equity, to a wrestler who is not over.

I just don't see how HHH is going to build equity into the IC title with Lyra who is not known for her promo ability, and nobody actually knows who she is or what her gimmick is supposed to be other than "bird lady" and that HHH is actively pushing her hard.

Becky is back and that’s the protege. Much better option than a 36 year old Dakota Kai

What I said had nothing to do with Dakota Kai and Dakota was never the option for inaugural champ. Dakota was likely booked into the finals because she needed some singles shine after returning from her latest injury.

And the age point is moot considering HHH has been known to push wrestlers who've built a 10-15 year foundation that translates to overnight success like a LA Knight, or a Priest or a Chelsea Green.

So putting the title on Lyra is either about one of two objectives:
building equity for the Women's IC title
or pushing Lyra, a wrestler who is clearly not yet over.

Lyra does not need the IC title to work a program with Becky. Again the IC title doesn't mean anything right now, it barely exists, so a program with IC champ Lyra vs Becky won't mean much more than a NXT call up Lyra vs Becky in a master vs apprentice program.

There's no need to risk the Women's IC title being dead on arrival for a feud that doesn't require a title.



And even if Lyra is carried over in a program with Becky how is she going to learn to maximize her minutes and be an attraction?

Chelsea Green is great at maximizing her minutes.

She spent years maximizing her minutes and getting over with the MR audience and even though she was never booked as being strong enough to be the top women's champion she was still respectable and capable of having great moments like that money in the bank bump she took.

So most people were happy to see her win the Women's US title, and thus the US title feels real and has some equity to it, because her entire WWE journey and the feelings people have towards Chelsea's career has been acquired by the belt.

Can't say the same for Lyra's IC title because her career has barely begun and she's still a total mystery for guys who didn't watch her in NXT.

I spent way too much time writing that out.

You spent way too much time on that to not provide better options. Between Ivy nile, Shayna, Nattie, Katana, Kayden, Raquel, Alba, Zoey, Zelina, Iyo who was a better option than someone associated with the top female star? Most of those names will never get a pop in the WWE again, at least Lyra has a chance with Becky at her side.

Also age matters plenty, Priest and LA smacked their heads against the glass ceiling last year and are sliding back down.

tk puts so much stock into awards from dirt sheets i just think it’s funny to post now that he’s not winning them anymore. same with observer awards, he’d have his social media team create graphic images announcing him winning booker of the year. :mjlol:
