The fans only like Becky because it spoils Vinces' plans of pushing Rhonda and Charlotte.

All are good to look at but Charlotte is the most talented let's face it.

The fans like her because she's entertaining and has a new edge to her that she never had before. Hell its an edge that no female wrestler has really had for a long time. Plus we can actually understand her so that helps too. Asuka needs a manager so bad. Her little catch phrase is practically all she can do.

Some Meltzer rumors . this guy is wrong alot so it's whatevs

According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, part of Vince McMahon's reasoning for this week's NXT call-ups was that the current product "is stale" and the current roster "aren't gonna be Superstars".
McMahon is not happy Undertaker is doing Starrcast, per Observer Radio.
Uncertainty about what they're doing with Taker is part of why the entire WrestleMania 35 card is "in flux". Meltzer also says WWE has never not had a card for 'Mania in place this late in the game.
However, according to Bleacher Report's Jeremy Botter, Daniel Bryan is set to face Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 35.
Follow-up on an earlier rumor about Lacey Evans, Meltzer says WWE sees her as the Roman Reigns of the women's division. After Ronda Rousey leaves, they hope their "big three" will be Evans, Becky Lynch & Charlotte Flair
Vince really needs to walk away.

In NXT (as with most of them) Asuka was awesome, the streak, the intensity, the fact that she clearly looked better than her opponents. Her catch phrase, and the crowd, chanting "Asuka's gonna kill you" was awesome.

....and then she lost to Carmella.

I can see why they want Lacey in the main event. She's got that Charlotte look and build.

Plus I gotta support my fellow former military brethren

I heard that as well. Here in VA, he along with Kane were suppose to sign autographs and do a photo op with fans at a local high school this month. The wrestling organization (AWE) were the ones promoting it. Tickets were $250 a person.

Weeks later, after announcing it, it was cancelled. I'm assuming because they weren't selling enough tickets to make any money after paying that price to the Taker and whatever Kane's price was.

I really like her gimmick so I'm all for it. Surprising how Bayley and Sasha have become afterthoughts to the titles though.

They are boring though. Bayley, boring in the ring, and only half a step better than Ronda on the mic. Sasha, is cool in the ring, but tired of her "boss" gimmick. Maybe she needs a change.

If they gave them less scripted lines I think they'd be way better especially Bayley. You can tell she's reciting the script every time she talks. I think she's one that Vince doesn't give much freedom to. Same with her work in the ring. She's been held back a bit since she got called up and I definitely think she needs a new finisher.

Nah. Asuka is a good worker and she's always been over despite creative having nothing for her on multiple occasions.
