The fact everyone is mad is why they did it that way.
Sometimes they do things for bad heat but this is good heat. Ronda isn't a heel and neither is Becky and making people upset is the point.

Yeah fuck that ending. This story doesn't need Charlotte at all. Like Ronda vs Becky is the far more interesting storyline as they sell there hate for each other really well. The match may be good but it would of been good with just Ronda and Becky.
Becky can't literally win every segment.
This just cemented she is winning. The people who are mad about this are largely just getting worked. It works like that on purpose.
I'm fine with them adding Charlotte.
I just think the way they actually added Charlotte made no sense.

Also what makes this more bullshit is this protects Ronda from losing one on one seeing as this may be her last match.
It's not.
If she stops she's dropping to part time not quitting entirely.
This is just lame. "Oooh you think this sucks? You're just getting worked!"
I hope they feel good about "working" people while they hit new ratings lows.
If that angle has legit heat it would be dumb to not exploit it
Me, right here.
Charlotte is significantly better than Ronda is. In-ring she is better than Becky by quite a bit too, and Becky isn't a slouch.
They wouldn't need this if Ronda could a) talk or had a mouthpiece b) could reliably have a great match with Becky, which is questionable.
Charlotte negates both problems if she goes full douchebag. Unless you really thought a heel Ronda could be appealing (would have worked if she was silent most of the time)

Nope, they said cool, you can have your Wrestlemania match. Becky was happy, Vince came out, suspended Becky, and gave the match to Charlotte
I do not think it is about winning, at least not with me. Win/lose whatever. It is about fucking over repeatedly the chance they have at a strong character who could be a lynchpin (heh) for a company who is shitting themselves in the ratings over and over. They are handed multiple times a golden goose but since it came from someone else they fuck it up. Lynch is the big one, but Rusev Day and Rusev himself never really going over. Balor repeatedly getting shit on. Even Asuka they have no idea what to do with.
She is already that and she is 99% going over at Wrestlemania.
She opened a show she isn't on (and also every other show since Rumble other than the first Raw) and also ended it while appearing six times on the show.
Bad/shitty writing does not equal "being worked". This was lazy, dumb, and totally against Becky's character.
I do. Becky wouldn't be able to carry Ronda to a good match on her own, simply because everyone knows that she (Ronda) would fall apart like a house of cards the moment she started getting booed, and it would tank the match quality. Where if Charlotte is in the match, it'll at least cover that part up. And if this main events Wrestlemania as the first ever women's main event, I would rather look back at it as being a good to great match opposed to a match that was fucking terrible because Ronda can't handle heat.
Vince suddenly deciding things is the most realistic scenario possible
It being totally against Becky's character is legitimately the point of the angle.
She's apparently scheduled to stay one month past Mania.
So logic would say Charlotte gets pinned here and we get the one on one at the next show where Ronda finally loses on her way out.
Damn you really out here defending WWE's shitty booking of this.
*shrugs*
Whatever WWE's gonna WWE
Yeah, I got nothing for this. This line of thinking can be used to justify any bullshit creative
I mean, to the extent the issue is Becky capitulating, the entire show they hammered into that she didn't really want to apologize or mean it.
when austin did the first stunner on vince in 1997 he got arrested and laughed his way out of the building in handcuffs
the next week he dressed up like one of the cops that was supposed to protect vince from austin and gave owen a stunner then got the fuck outta there:
it sounds like mommy stephanie and daddy hhh told little rebellious daughter becky that she had to go in time out last week and that she wouldn't get to go to the big party with all her friends unless she said sorry
and then she said sorry

The best part about that closing segment is that they aren't even humoring the idea that Ruby might win on Sunday.
Also, I feel like we're letting ourselves get distracted of what's really important and that is that The Revival are finally tag champs!
SAY YEAH!

Jay White is actually good. He's miles better then fucking Jinder. White could be out here wrestling 3 star matches every night and would still be better then Jinder Mahal.
Putting the title on Jay White this early just feels like desperation by NJPW to create a new heel since everyone else that's supposed to be a heel tends to get cheered at some point.
Exactly.
Putting Charlotte into the match by beating Becky and people would have moaned more.
Surely they going to move someone from Raw to Smackdown now Charlotte and Becky are there. No idea who Asuka is going to face.
Sean Ross Sapp explained why Charlotte was added to the match in his review of RAW.
Ronda is leaving the day after Mania. And won't be back until Survivor Series at the absolute earliest. And WWE doesn't want half of their first ever Women's WM Main Event gone after WM.

Yeah, this is just some half assed Vince/Austin & Authority/Bryan feud retread with none of the heat or build up from either. Unless they have Becky go full Austin, giving zero fucks, throwing up double birds, and beating the everloving shit out of everyone on a nightly basis till she forces her way back into the match I don't see how she doesn't comes out of this storyline diminished.
The dangerous game here is they may be fucking up one of the hottest stars they've had in years.
You are marks.
Granted, this is a stupid ass way to do it and I guess Charlotte is the new Corporate Champion figure in the angle.
Becky is gonna put Vince or Steph in the armbar and the pop will be huge.
It's gonna be a triple threat, I just wished they did it Luger-Hart style.

Robbie Eagles will be back in New Japan for the Iizuka retirement show and both Honor Rising dates.
Also, still no sign of Kanemitsu on the next few cards, so it seems like he might not have been ready to come back after all.

Has Becky's character since Summerslam not been 90% being screwed by The business wanting Charlotte over her.
Cause I'm pretty sure its been that.
