Jaysin Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I like Becky, but she's in a rut and has been for awhile. She's stale and needs character development. I don't think her winning MitB is the development unless it changes her character somehow and I just don't see that happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since losing the title she went to film a movie and creative have given her nothing but rinse-and-repeat tag matches. Winning MITB might be worse because then they wouldn't need to push her at all until she cashes in.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CQI13 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Was it really a bust though? May not have hurt Punk financially, but Cabana certainly felt it by his own admission. Not petty/bullying - it's what corporations can (and usually) do when they are the ones suing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's very committed to the character and the fans love her, though the Scottish accent could be offputting to some people. For me the problem is that her crazy character limits her in-ring moveset except in special matches like the Last Woman Standing one with Asuka.</p><p> </p><p> I like Shayna because she's a legit bully and not just blowing smoke like a cowardly heel. But her voice is too weak and she got lost in the live promo against Nikki.

milamber Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 The 2 fatal fourways and Elias were good but the rest of the show was garbage. Smackdown had some first-time match-ups but being a go-home show I couldn't bring myself to care at all. 205 Live was good as always but it looks like they aren't getting a MITB match which sucks and the tag matches are meaningless without tag titles.

Macca316 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Can we all agree that O'Reilly is the suprise MVP of UE, Cole is the full package and will do wonderful things on the main roster but O'Reilly is just so arrogant and charasmatic, He's a wonderfully snarky heel.

Which is why Undisputed Era are pretty much constantly knocking it out the park match after match after match... I take it based on this you didn't enjoy Dunne vs O'Reilly?
