I personally don't mind long reigns, I actually love them because they make the championships feel more prestigious and important, but I do agree that knowing the current champions won't lose the titles until Wrestlemania or Summerslam is very boring. When any PLE is around the corner we know that nothing surprising is going to happen because it isn't one of those two PLEs.

[@ikesours6558]

Yeah... but there should be an inherent rotation so that a win at any random event or cash in on TV makes it more worth the investment. That's mostly from a marketing standpoint... but also from the view of being a fan. It's too easy to step away for chunks at a time only to reinvest Jan-April and July-Aug.

[@DexterasVI]

I like long reigns if they're done well and keep us on our toes. You're right the predictability makes staying behind champs kinda hard sometimes. It was why i kinda started to really dislike Bianca as champ and am still cold on her right now. But with Iyo I'm scared she'd drop that belt any time and it makes me root for her even though she's a heel because i think they're doing her run right. However on the other side i do appreciate my shorter reigns too because it feels like a lot of people can get their time to shine and also makes it feel like everyone in the main event card could be champion at any time. Kinda like when Rock, Stone Colde, HHH, and Jericho were just tossing the belts around between each other. It kept it exciting and was like "Oh whos getting the belt this time and how long until one if the other gets it.

[@AustenHilton]

A heel Tiffany Stratton cashing in MITB on Rhea Ripley turning her babyface and feuding with her would be awesome

[@DogOfWar1230]

More than Liv being put on the shelf by Rhea is the fact they were in a tag team together and Rhea betrayed Liv after their loss to Sasha and Naomi. Wrestlers will never get the chance to make those big moments for themselves if the booking is too safe. Becky hasn’t excited me much as of late, I think I would have preferred Liv vs. Rhea.

[@reddragon0624]

The booking is “too safe” because it has to be. The women just aren’t the athletes that the men are. Becky’s seemingly never been the same since she got pregnant, it’s like her body never bounced back or she’s just not in the gym as she used to as it makes her character work less believable.

Liv should turn heel. She is not over as a face. Her fans arent fans because of her character so it canonly help her.

[@jrod2510]

Problem is Liv isn’t a good actress. Turning her heel again would just not work the same as it not working as a face. WWE needs to bring back more jobbers instead of playing the 50/50 or 60/40 booking. Since it’s been like 7 yrs of Liv not working out, she just needs to be like a 20/80 jobber, problem also, she’s far from being a good enough worker to be considered enhancement talent cuz imagine Botch Morgan strikes again and takes out a star or an up and comer

Liv Morgan should turn heel. A feud with Raquel Rodríguez would be beneficial for the development of their characters. If Liv goes completely unhinged and extreme, and she cheats, and she tries to hurt her opponents, she'll be more believable against the likes of Bianca, Becky or even Rhea when she eventually turns babyface. I think the turn is actually coming because on backstage interviews and on the promo she cut the other day and on the Bump show, she's been acting a little different and in the match she showed heel tendencies too. She can be a heel for a few months, and if the fans reject that heel character and push for a face turn, she'll be a better babyface than she was.

[@kylefields3951]

I think this is always going to be true, but even more true for The Women's Division because it's less common. An audience's ability to suspend their disbelief is almost universally directly proportional to a Wrestler's ability to deliver convincing offence and appear as though they really are competing and that they want to win. Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit were *VERY* good at this. I think the reason the crowd has got behind Tiffany so quickly is because she is very explosive and fast with her movements. I like good Wrestling, no matter who's fighting, but it's become increasingly apparent to *ME* , I can't speak for anyone else, that many women in the Women's Division don't have great explosiveness, and therefore, more often, have to rely on good Match Structure, and Storytelling to have a good Match. Tiffany is a compelling character, and is very explosive in the ring. She can do her movements faster than a lot of the other women, and comes across as fierce, and clearly looks like she wants to win in every Match she has. I think it's no wonder fans are rallying behind her so quickly.

Also, we're tired of Becky. And I believe she is tired too. She looks it. She's so skinny. She needs to go home and be with her child and eat more protein. He moves don't even look believable any more, she's so skinny. And that poor child is either being dragged half way across the world, or without her parents. Either one is worse. And tbh, she just doesn't do it for us anymore. We've seen her wrestle so much, it's like you know all her moves & what she's going to do. Nothing new to see here. We're burned out on her. She was much better when she had the chip on her shoulder. Maybe she's going heel, because I got a feeling this will not go over with fans as the powers to be in WWE thinks it will. Might be another "Cody Crybaby Moment."

I still see liv Morgan going crazy on these ripley at the ppv which would hurt things.

[@senorbusyman]

It shouldve been Raquel. I know shes going through a lot rite now & recovering but this is her year. Becky had her time in 2019 & shes the past. Im so tired of Becky this & Becky that. Move on to the next. At this point Becky is like Miz win a title as a transitional champion

[@Wrestle_Kingdom]

Becky hasn’t been in the title scene since 2022 plus Raquel would have made no sense because they pushing rhea as the next dominant woman for the next generation so beating Becky elevate her

[@FuckBalls64]

@Jalon POOR BECKY, she hasn't been in the title scene since 2022? 2022? Holy fuck whatever would she have done?

[@senorbusyman]

@@Wrestle_Kingdom Honestly at that time it was Biancas year & Shayna who hasnt had a push since 2020 so again its time to push someone else. Rhea also shouldve lost to Nia cuz she put the effort & the fight unlike others

[@Wrestle_Kingdom]

@@senorbusyman ok then with this logic then guys like randy,Seth,drew,Bobby etc should be away from the title scene as well

[@johnface3474]

⁠@@Wrestle_KingdomNo after losing her tag titles Becky Hogan just went down to NXT and took the title off Tiffany for no reason only to put over boring Lyra. She hasn’t been in the title scene since 2022 though has she?

This feels like the birth of the #wewantliv movement.

[@AlleyinThrees]

Nia Jax's biggest flaw as a performer right now is just her ring gear. Her ring gear is lame and takes away from her overall presence and her improved in-ring work.

[@tedevelynmosby6944]

Liv just has no character dude and her fans don’t get that she just says watch me and loses lol

[@Richard__Cranium]

It's been a handful of years now where we've been waiting for Liv's big breakout. If she can't evolve past the *sassy head* "Watch Me" character then I think it's time to call a spade and spade and say Liv just isn't a main event talent. I'm rooting for her, but at some point, it's on the performer to branch out and add layers to their character. Liv hasn't done that really at all.

[@ghost-type]

I think a lot of the reason Becky winning got push back was because her act is kind of stale. To me, she's not longer one of those top female wrestlers, she's on par with Liv. Biance vs Ripley would be an amazing WrestleMania match.

[@jrod2510]

While Bex hasn’t been the same since she gave birth let’s not be so insulting.

[@ghost-type]

@jrod2510 how is that insulting? She's kind of gone stale. Nothing against her but she's not it right now.

[@jrod2510]

@@ghost-type Are you that clueless? Yeah, as i said, not the same since she came back but my god man, she hasn’t fallen so far to be the likes of Liv and Raquel. Christ, she’s a HOF’er to be, multi time champ, she’s not a no gimmick no character waste of space like Liv and Raquel.

the only thing Liv Morgan has done that's notible was the Sen-Ton off the ring post to the table spot... that's how shes gunna separate herself from being a generic "diva".

[@jasonproctor9896]

Naomi and liv Morgan are great but neither of them should be getting a title shot at wrestlemania at this current point. Neither of them are a draw

[@LondosWorld]

I don't find Becky/Rhea to be very exciting. Just on a physical level, Becky is not in Rhea's league. Down the road, Tiffany Stratton and Jade Cargill are much better opponents for Rhea. I would have rather seen Bianca win the elimination chamber. Becky is a fine character but Rhea has surpassed her as the dominant woman in WWE.

[@RomaroBrandon]

First of all shut up talking about "physical level" because Tiffany Stratton is not on either Jade Cargill or Rhea Ripley's even though it doesn't matter! Secondly I don't know what you mean by down the road or how far that is supposed to be but Tiffany Stratton is not close at all to Rhea Ripley and should not be facing her until SummerSlam at the earliest because she just got called up to the main roster and has not been in any major feuds so far.

[@FuckBalls64]

@Romaro You must be a blast at parties

[@DogOfWar1230]

I like Bianca but if she had won EC, I feel like the crowd would turn on her for getting Cena booking. I think Liv or Tiffany should have won, both matches would give off a “David vs Goliath”. Liv even has a built-in story with Rhea.

[@projectgraham414]

​@@RomaroBrandondude Tiffany Stratton is awesome. She's very believable against just about anyone

@@projectgraham414 "believable" because of her gimmick but it doesn't mean she should be facing Rhea Ripley right now.

[@drexeldragon1723]

People really wanted Naomi at WrestleMania? Really? Rhea vs Becky is generational. That's the match. And they're not having Rhea lose to Liv so then if they went with Liv, these people would be crying all the same when she lost. So they give us the biggest match possible. I'm hyped.

[@themachodan13]

Tbh. *Theory* can just play himself.

[@chrisjordan2332]

Just because some dummies don't like the predictable ending, even when it makes sense, and want swerves for the sake of it, doesn't make them right. Becky was the right choice.
