    Because what the Authority storyline was missing was a McMahon taking the place of the put-upon face?

    All McMahons, all the time?

    What do you know. Ronda actually managed a decent comeback for once!

    I mean...over time, Becky is still the obvious winner here, but Ronda's retort was half decent this time. Congrats to her.

    This is the sort of thing I'd love to see Lynch do if she's gonna emulate some of Austin's traits. For those not familiar, this was during 2000 when The Rock was going to face Triple H at Backlash. Earlier on RAW, Linda McMahon ruled that Austin would be in Rock's corner to counter the likely interference by the rest of the McMahons to help Triple H keep the belt. This is what happened on the following Smackdown.

    I want to get really hyped for the announcement of the match, but I'm worried about getting overhyped. On the other hand Janela hasn't failed to deliver yet.

    My prevailing memory of Joey Janella is me saying I didn't like Spring Break 2 and then him blocking me on twitter.

    And just as quickly as Ronda makes a decent comeback, she shoots herself directly in her own foot again by trying too hard.

    Chill out, ma'am.

    Multiple problems here.

    1. That's a perfectly fine Fujiwara armbar and if you watch the footage, Ronda was screaming in pain during the segment.
    2. More importantly, why are you talking about Becky wanting a dick? This is just weird and stupid and ignorant.

    If transphobic tweets bother you, I've spoilered them. Don't click if you don't want to see them.

    It's not really me liking it, necessarily. It's more like I find it newsworthy that one of the biggest stars on the roster is saying such things. It should be known by people so we know what kind of person we're dealing with.

    I've spoilered the tweets, however, just in case anyone isn't interested in reading it for themselves. My intention isn't to harm anyone, only to inform. Sorry.

    Seriously, between Becky complaining about Ronda's acting and Ronda calling Becky's mugshots and her moves fake, this is all feeling very late stage WCW.

    Becky did have a pretty good comeback to that last Ronda tweet though.

    Travis Browne (Ronda's husband) is a massive tool, though.

    Totally fine with him being called such on Twitter.

    Yeah, I wish Becky was framing it as lack of charisma and poor public speaking ability rather than bad acting. I also think spreading Rhonda's dumb hateful comebacks are a public service though. Any attempts to portray her as a face need to be shot down hard. She is a real life heel and even notoriously awful wrestling fans need to make sure she knows it.

    Anyway, here's some actual wrestling stuff.

    Roman is now being advertised for a 2 on 3 handicap match with Seth at Fastlane.

    Will WWE be able to hold themselves back from doing yet another Shield reunion here?

    I'm going to say no!

    Dave said in the newsletter Ciampa's hurt again and trying to work through it until Takeover NY is done. PWInsider just confirmed it's a neck injury and while severity's unknown, it was significant enough he couldn't work Monday, causing a script rewrite for Raw

    I'm wondering if the tweet was reported by people, Twitter investigated, then said, "Wait, she's verified, why are we trying to do anything" and then let it back on.

    Anyway Becky continues to win at Twitter. A glimmer of her old silliness:

    That's a pretty serious break of kayfabe, to me, and exactly why twitter should be off-limits for kayfabe bullshit.

    Honestly at this point I no longer want to see Ronda vs. Becky at Wrestlemania. I don't want Ronda anywhere near other talent, frankly.

    Well the bigger issue for me and Ronda is she's a sandy hook truther. That she's a bigoted asshole on top of that is also awful, but sandy hook trutherism is like king awful of a shit throne.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    In a way it's good because this is probably the most serious that women's wrestling has ever been treated. But at the same time that kayfabe break is bad, and Ronda is meant to be the tweener between Heel Charlotte and Anti-hero face Becky. It's kinda getting lost in itself here and I'm worried they're gonna balls the landing by having it end with a low blow on Becky leading to a series of low blow finishes between her and Charlotte for the next 3 months.

    It’s one of those things where they have a way of doing things, and there is interest in New Japan in women’s wrestling, but it would be a separate company the same way there is interest in kickboxing but that’s a completely different company that Bushiroad has.

    Becky is not innocent of bad tweets

    but holy fuck Ronda can you not decide it's okay to bury the business and be a trash person at the same time

    if Becky wins the title Ronda is getting booed out of the building on Raw the next night

    and hopefully out of the business

    Eh, I actually do fear for most other wrestlers' safety. Not all of them have actual fighting skills, and detecting when Ronda is legitimately trying to fuck you up vs. just being stiff is probably not the easiest when she's stuck to some of her MMA style.

    I am still fairly confident that her takedown of Sonya DeVille last year was super fucking stiff to send her a message, which I just add to the pile of reasons I don't fucking like Ronda.

    To be fair, she's only bad in comparison to other highly trained and highly ranked fighters. And there are still women on the UFC roster that she could trash.

    That's to say nothing of what she would do to pretty much all of the women on the WWE roster and even some of the men.

    Ronda says extremely stupid and downright line-crossing things, but she's still an Olympic champion.

    I have no problem with saying she's very dangerous in a fight while also saying that she is a flaming idiot.
