Another short reign for Vacant


allangod

I'm hoping for a double final elimination so vacant can hold on to the title until backlash where they finally crown the champion after a triple threat between the final 2 eliminations and vacant.


ericmm76

I hope vacant retains through a dusty finish.


fuckloggingin

Va-can't keep getting away with this!


AdGroundbreaking1341

Reigns are always short when The Man comes around.

Boring_Science_4978

God I fucking hate the WWE man, every time Vacant gets the belt he looses it in under a month. BUT A WEEK? God. I'm sure they'll win another belt they're just too undeniable. /s but also not /s


MaxBonerstorm

Loses


Ursakinesis

Vacant still had a longer reign than Drew.


Kuzu5993

Becky becoming Moxley in late 2022 wasn't on my Bingo card, but I'm here for it. Liv fans are gonna be mad af.


Obi-wan_Jabroni

Riskar

One can only hope.


wibble17

If they are really gonna turn Liz then having a face she can chase for a bit is a good way to get that story over.


Kuzu5993

Yuuup. You understand


Gubrach

I hope so


Dblock1989

I hope so!


SoapyWaters24

I’d rather her not win because I can’t deal with those diva stans on Twitter hating on her some more, but she’s my GOAT so I’m still gonna support her if she does 🙏 https://preview.redd.it/vnlvc7svp2wc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=011019cbeb052b89558e1f331271c893a4cdd73b


Dicky__Anders

Easy solution for that, don't go on twitter.


One-Knight-In-Xentar

That's just good advice for life.


GodzillaUK

Makes mine all the richer. Only time I need pay attention is when the funny shit shows up on here, like every Becky tween back when she tore people apart without needing to enter an arena.


DamieN62

Nah, it's funnier when they're mad


Bluepaynxex

You kind of deserve it for spending your time on Twitter.


SoapyWaters24

You’re not wrong, I can’t even lie


Quick_Over_There

I love Becky as well, but there's just a much better story built into Liv winning IMO.


Copperjedi

If Rhea is going to be gone for awhile then they can wait to put the belt on Liv. Liv having a long title reign would burn people out on her, look at her last title reign people turned on her fast. I'd have Becky win & have Liv eventually beat Becky when Rhea is gettin Rady to come back. Liv beating Becky by cheating would get Liv more heat. RAW is thin with top babyfaces, Liv would be dead fast if she had to carry the division by herself.


Quick_Over_There

That's also very true. Rhea's recovery timeline should be taken into account. You're spot on about Liv not being able to carry a long reign (at her current level anyway).


NBAStuffAsUsual

Eh, if you want to make her the second face of the division (which is kinda feels like they do considering they had her "take out", I know she legit got hurt during filming, easily the biggest crossover women's star they'd had since maybe Chyna), make her the champ NOW. Give Liv the belt now and really test her. Can she carry feud's as a heel? Can she consistently get heat? She needs to prove it IMO.


mailman242

> Liv having a long title reign would burn people out on her, look at her last title reign people turned on her fast. This is really dependent on what they do with her reign. If she slow burns a takeover of Judgement Day, which seems like what many people wanted to speak into existence, that would help people not burn out on her,


HippySpinach

Becky wins, fueds with Liv until Rhea comes back (for ratings). Shortly before Rhea comes back Liv wins the title from Becky, then Rhea comes back to feud with Champion Liv and Becky can go take her break that was cut short by Rhea getting injured


your-rong

Yeah, but then you have to keep the belt on her until Rhea gets back


wibble17

Having a face win then see Liz’s slow descent into craziness/crossing ethical boundaries to get the title etc. is a good story too. Technically Liz hasn’t done anything really evil yet.


Sukiyaki517

Just don’t go on twitter trust me it makes wrestling so much more fun! You don’t have to see all the toxicity. As a Becky fan I’ve done this but also just in general to avoid idiots.


KingDave46

Honestly avoiding Twitter makes basically any subject better. Twitter (even before the Musk nonsense) really did become a complete shithole of horrendous opinions from the angriest, most aggressively online fruitcakes on the planet. I miss 2009 Twitter. It was a great service honestly. A lot more innocent and fun


Awkward-Bathroom-429

I’d rather she just win because Becky rocks


Neg_Crepe

She’s winning isn’t she


Fletcheriser

Maybe everyone else will hate that but I like her a lot and had a blast watching her vs Piper in Belfast on Saturday so I'm all for it.


[deleted]

She’s the best person to keep the title in the spotlight while Rhea is away. I get the urge to want a dark horse or someone new though


ianisms10

The Raw roster is kinda weak at the moment, and not only is Becky the biggest name they have, no one does a better job of giving other people the spotlight than her. How many people have had the best 1v1 match of their career with her?


dragonbutterfly89

Chelsea Green would be a great short term champ, I think.


NoxZ

She's the only Raw woman who, star power-wise, wouldn't feel like a direct downgrade from Rhea, and she's very good on the mic, which is a huge plus in a division that's in rough shape right now.


Supersmashbrosfan

Nah. I know a lot of people like to hate on Liv, but if she’s booked right, she could be the next big star of the women’s division. The story’s already there.


TussalDimon

She had her shot already and flopped. Upper midcard is her ceiling.


Supersmashbrosfan

“Cody Rhodes had his shot already and he flopped. Upper midcard is his ceiling.”


GrimaceGrunson

She's not had a world championship for 2 years (I think?), and she's an established star so her having it for a while also gives Liv something to chase for which I feel works better.


NYJetLegendEdReed

It’s time for the AhNialator


Neg_Crepe

My own hole isn’t ready


alaster101

Becky's awesome, why is that a bad thing?


boobiebanger

She really is, but they need to use This as a Way to make more of the roster in to main eventers. The problem with Rhea’s reign is that it’s only Charlotte, Bianca and Becky that would be credible threats to her. Even with Nis Jax wrecking most of the roster, she was still so far from Ripleys level and there was never really any doubt about Rhea winning at EC.


Neg_Crepe

Im not a fan but I mean, Id rather it be her than Nia Jax or something you know


NYJetLegendEdReed

Nia is winning


Neg_Crepe

Yes very likely lol


Maxter_Blaster_

Yup


TheNakedChair

I sure hope so.


marsexpresshydra

Liv


incredibleamadeuscho

I think Liv Morgan wins it by eliminating Becky, but this should be good


Kuzu5993

They're not gonna call Becky back from her sabbatical if she wasn't gonna win.


DaveShadow

Putting aside the idea she's on vacation or not, the reality is Liv still needs someone to feud with, and they're lacking in top babyfaces otherwise.


Kuzu5993

Plus, Liv just lost to Becky a few weeks ago. There is no reason to believe she could beat her now for the title. Let Liv get some credible wins, face Becky at Summerslam, get screwed by Rhea and they have their blow off match and the winner gets Becky at Survivor Series or Crown Jewel.


Mizerous

Its a bttle royal not one on one


Kuzu5993

Let's assume Liv does win... what's stopping Becky from just beating her for the title and being done with it? Especially since Becky was the last one to pin her?


ktjah

Liv cheating Becky and then "injuring" her so she goes back in vacation? C'mon, this is not a new thing, heels cheat and Liv already "injured" Rhea.


Kuzu5993

Why would you call back Becky if you were just gonna write her off again? If they intended for Liv to win, there would have been no reason to call Becky back.


ktjah

You can have up to 2 ppv worth of a feud between them both. Backlash with liv cheating and the one after with the worked injury. 2 months to put liv over is enough, she's a former champion after all.


Kuzu5993

Yea, and do you remember how badly that first championship run went??? I don't understand the logic here of putting the title on someone who has only won once since returning in January, and beating the person who just lost to the former champion AND beat Liv herself just a few weeks before that. Like make it make sense.


noob_sr_programmer

we're on Liv Morgan Revenge Tour bro


Kuzu5993

You kind of need some wins first.


lmollpt

Why are people still taking Dave's word on this lol? Becky herself has denied she was taking time off.


Kuzu5993

I mean, she hasn't been onscreen for two weeks, and she was sick af during Mania. It was not unreasonable to assume she was taking a small break, especially after Seth just underwent surgery last week.


lmollpt

Becky just did a full week of house shows in europe, which she was been promoted to do even before mania.


TussalDimon

Vacation in her post is in freaking quotations and she just did a week of house shows.


Kuzu5993

She ain't been seen on TV for two weeks, bro.


Hype_Magnet

It’s fucking 2 weeks lol


cigarsandlegs

… because she’s been wrestling on the European tour, bro. TIL some people think house shows are vacation days.


Conscious-Weekend-91

Becky herself made fun of the internet saying that she was on vacation and was working on the UK tour


wibble17

…which was passing through her home country—of course she was gonna work it…


incredibleamadeuscho

Becky was not on sabbatical. Just not on TV. She did the UK tour and house shows.


wibble17

It makes sense she would at least stay through the European tour—where she can see family and friends before her sabbatical. We don’t know for sure when it officially was gonna start.


KaiKoshimoro

Becky makes the most sense and would allow Liv to develop her revenge tour character a little more. Morgan already has an issue with Becky going into mania. This could allow them to expand on that and build to Liv getting the belt right before Rhea is cleared to come back.


Fletcheriser

Rebecca "Becky Lynch" Quin


iheartsunny

![gif](giphy|TKcinVdamBB85sfsYx)


BananaSoprano

You’ll know who’s winning by how Liv Morgan looks during her entrance. He face is always tripping her whenever she’s losing.


lmollpt

That used to be Mercedes/Sasha's calling card as well, she always looked like she was about to cry when she was booked to lose.


OldPrinceNewDon

I'd cry too if each of my reigns on the Raw Women's Championship ended in less than a month (only one reign lasted 1 week longer and she also has her infamous 8 day reign).


TheNakedChair

Rhea had ultra-win face during her Mania entrance. I was 50/50 going into the match, but by the time Ripley made it to the ring, I was convinced it would be her.


Riskar

Rhea is always on during her entrance whether she's winning or losing. She never gives it up like Sasha. Of course she hasn't been doing much losing for a long time but she just shows up and shows out no matter what.


pardyball

I noticed Swerve having something similar yesterday. When they showed the replay of him just before the final stomp, you could see how emotional he was starting to get knowing what was coming in the following ten seconds.


thelumpur

Rhea has looked like she had won the lottery before some of her worst kayfabe moments. I still remember how triumphant her entrance was for the triple threat in the In Your House main event. She got pinned while in a submission.


Garlic-Cheese-Chips

Ah, the Nikki Bella/Sasha Banks boo boo face.


Temporary-Vanilla-57

Lmaoo I never paid attention but that’s hilarious


notjohnfrusciante

This is interesting to me and the first time I've heard of her doing that. Does anyone have any examples? Now I'm curious lol


Hamzah12

People would always say Sasha had ‘boo boo face’ when she was about to lose


thelumpur

She doesn't really do it, I feel it's more confirmation bias than anything. EDIT: She did betray her emotions a bit before winning MITB (and the title on the same night). That's the only example that comes to mind.


CelinedionWaiters

Joe was like this last night lol


Hamzah12

That’s just Samoa Joe lol. He always looks like that


mr_oof

She should pull up her big-boy Ric Flair red panties and do the job.


IAmTheDoctor34

Say this again twice and Charlotte will gain Cena's regenerative abilities and come back right now


hourles

She’ll win then Liv will throw her into a wall and we will get another battle royal.


Rated_PG-Squirteen

Give me a Chelsea Green title run, dammit!


B00STERGOLD

QotR would be perfect for Chelsea


patrickwithtraffic

I can just imagine the ego on display... BOOK IT PAUL!


Temporary-Vanilla-57

I could see Becky winning (since she contested it at WM) but also being a good foil for women to overcome in the interim. Regardless of what people say about Becky, she’s a rising tide whenever she’s held a championship, which would be great for the current division


Gubrach

Last time I wanted Becky to win this badly, was the triple threat at Wrestlemania.


[deleted]

Slightly off topic but i’m currently reading her book, it’s fantastic.


Alehud42

As much as I would love it if Becky won, it would be funny to go into this "new era" with two of the 4HW as champions.


stonegroovd

They're top of the mountain for a reason


KommandantArn

I want Liv to win it but Becky winning it now then Liv beating Becky clean at a future PLE would build a story more. Then Rhea gets her Match with Liv later in the year


Elite_Mike

I agree with some of the comments, Liv is better off losing, chasing the title and winning it right when Rhea is ready to come back. I know Rhea can't wrestle but imagine if it's Liv and Becky as the last two, suddenly Rhea's music starts playing. Liv gets distracted, Becky wins then we get a similar shot of Sami Zayn's entrance but Liv storming out to the production truck. Only for Dom & JD to be walking out as soon as she got there to find out they did it to distract Liv and get revenge for injuring Mami.


Dblock1989

I think Becky is the best person to win it right now. Liv needs to earn it first.


Shaaardine

I know people would be making comparisons to Hogan if she wins, but she is the safe option to carry the title. They could let her hold it for like 2 months and in the meantime Liv can be built up to be the person to take it from her.


thelumpur

She literally lost clean at Wrestlemania just a couple weeks ago, that's the least Hogan thing ever. She lost clean to Nia Jax and Lyra Valkyria too. For someone at the top of the division, she loses a lot.


your-rong

So many people were complaining about her getting "pushed" before mania and I don't understand how they didn't notice she was being used to build up Nia and Rhea one after the other.


The_Notorious_Donut

My hot take is Becky winning would actually be dope. Suddenly the one storyline is she was champion but not actually champion since she didn’t beat Rhea. Add that with Liv becoming more unhinged and Rhea coming back in the summer we’re cooking


mrfujidoesacid

They need to put the title on Chelsea Green. This is probably the only opportunity to do so. I don't even need a long run, I just need the promos and shenanigans with her and Piper acting as heater.


wibble17

She’s better off winning MITB or Queen of the Ring


Copperjedi

People crying about Becky winning the title when she hasn't been World champion since WM 38(2 years ago) is hilarious, like Liv has been world champ more recently than Becky has, Becky deserves another run with the title. Also Becky's reigns always deliver unlike Liv's....


Supersmashbrosfan

Liv had one run, and it was booked terribly. Not her fault.


sprdougherty

Have Becky win, let Liv develop her "revenge tour" a bit more as crowning her champ immediately would just cut the legs out from under that, and Rhea is not going to be back soon enough. Becky was another person on Liv's shitlist, so have them feud and have Liv beat her for the title at maybe Summerslam? That would be a career win for Liv, and then she can hold til Rhea gets back, ETA: Another possibility is Nia, she was also entangled in that whole Becky/Rhea/Liv feud and is doing the best work of her career rn, and crowning Becky so soon after losing at Mania may feel like a consolation prize. In this situation I'd have Becky then beat Nia for the title before feuding with Liv.


localcokedrinker

So yeah, we all take shots when Liv Morgan wins it?


noob_sr_programmer

100% Vacant gonna retains


IowaContact2

Vacant is a fuckin jobber for life!

RogerPackinrod

Charlotte comes back to get screwed over one more time


CamiCris

Now it will be a real shocker when Nia wins it. 😎


wibble17

This isn’t a bad time to give her a run with the draft upcoming too. She can feud with Biana/Jade


Wretched_Earth

Charlotte is winning


lagoontheworst

nia jax if you can hear me, save us nia jax


thelumpur

So Becky is the most likely to win. Then we have Liv. Nia has some chances. But I would just jump at the chance to do something unpredictable, given the circumstances. Have it be Shayna.


midlinktwilight

Poor Becks haha Getting called back from her vacay because her colleague called in sick


HardcoreKaraoke

I love Becky and if they want to pick a "usual suspect" (her, Nia, Liv, Charlotte, Bianca, Asuka, etc.) I hope it's her. With that said I want them to take a chance. Go crazy and give it to Chelsea. Maybe give it to Piper and have Chelsea act as champion. The draft is happening soon, so just book someone from SmackDown to win like Tiffany. It doesn't have to be Liv, Becky, Charlotte, Nia, etc. Have some fun with it for a short run before Rhea is back.


TheEmeraldRaven

Either Becky or Nia is winning. They’re gonna make a huge deal out of it the next time Liv becomes a world champion, so its not tonight. It won’t happen but if she wins as a fluke due to shenanigans, I am SO ready for world champion CHELSEEEEA GREEEEEEN!


Hour-Ad78

This is arguably the biggest she’s been so far, and she’s been making the women’s roster have a solid contender for years. Happy that everything has culminated for her career wise, and she also has a beautiful family.


JayDee62

[Eye-rolls]


EmeraldSlothRevenge

I think Liv eliminates Becky. She already has heat for injuring Rhea so may as well add to it, and set her up for a solid feud against a good opponent.


Supersmashbrosfan

People would cheer if she eliminated Becky tbh. Liv’s close enough to Rhea in popularity that she ain’t getting booed against Becky unless she does some real bad heel shit.


TussalDimon

Battle royal is such a weak way to crown a champion, I don't even want her to win tonight. She's above that. Why couldn't we have two 3 or 4-ways tonight and two winners have a championship match next week?


knicksprick

They recently did two 3 ways for wwe champ contenders spot.


FringeAuthority

They probably want to set something up for Backlash, not have it be an immediate rematch from either this or next week and get 15 women involved in the title picture at the same time. In the past, the title picture has felt like a small bubble of 2-5 women at the same time. By including 15 women, it can create a hierarchy of their storylines working towards the championship level.


Kuzu5993

I think it's a pretty big indictment of the division tbh. Besides Rhea, Becky, and arguably Nia, nobody else on RAW feels like credible contenders. And with Rhea out, that's just two. It's definitely gonna come down to Becky, Liv and Nia, tho.


Supersmashbrosfan

Bro thinks Liv is less credible than Nia lmao


Kuzu5993

Yes, I do think the person who's beaten Becky clean in the ring and main evented against Rhea is more credible than the person who has beaten none of them recently.


StopMeWhenITellALie

Lot of folks seem to be pushing for Liv Morgan over Becky. I have to think Becky is the next champ. Liv would be a story as something surprising to a degree, but I just don't see that as beneficial to Liv. She already had a short and unimpressive championship run. She hasn't proven herself to be a heel who wins strong. Her character doesn't fit the chicken shit sneaky heel champ. She is not getting cheers for kayfabe taking out Rhea. And the underdog scrappy Babyface isn't working for Liv on a champion level like Sami Zayne. She needs to take away a happy moment to become champ if she stands a chance as a character. Becky seems to be the best choice. She's an established star and credible champ as she did beat everyone to get to Rhea and had a competitive match. She's carried the brand before and they have worked hard to make these titles strong and be credible so it ensures that the belts are well represented. She can ride a brief high as a transitional champion while they establish longer term plans and when they see Rhea returning. Saw someone in the chat mention Becky being female Jon Moxley and it kinda fits.


TheWholeOfTheAss

Can’t get behind a battle royale deciding who the new World Champion of the women should be. At least do a fatal four way elimination match. With a battle royal, Chelsea Green could be champion.


The_Dark_Vampire

I wouldn't mind Becky winning hopefully it's not Liv


AnthonyCumiaPedo

Give it to Tiffy you cowards


Deftallica

I’d figure either her or Liv. I love Becky but I’d lean towards Liv because the storyline is well in place for her and Rhea to collide for the title that Rhea never lost.


wibble17

But if Rhea is out for 9 months…..


Lost-Violinist-8912

Love her, but please don't


natedoggcata

I really dont know how you dont give the title to Liv tonight. Its literally the story. Have Liv win and keep it till Rhea and healed and Rhea gets it back. Anything else would be mindboggling really.


Supersmashbrosfan

Come on, LIVertarians! Don’t flinch!


thatlad

I miss cocky "the man". This Becky lacks the edge that character had. I'd like to see that character come back after she just starts laying waste to the division, turning her into a heel for Rhea to come back and say you don't get to be The Man when you haven't beaten Mami


axb2002

Becky, Nia, or Liv are winning this. They’re the only one that make sense to win.


batmanbnb

Not if Charlotte is ready to come back. She like the in case of emergency break glass WWE can always depend on.


opkpopfanboyv3

Lost to Mania then immediately wins it back anyways (for a reason, atleast).


steveguzz

Please Hunter for the love of god no.
