Becky Lynch’s Career Narrative

It might be a good idea for WWE to orchestrate for Becky Lynch to lose her Raw Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 36 to whoever her Challenger might be. She could then go for a period of months where she is booked in the mid-card or lower card, much like the way she was before she became The Man and added that to her gimmick. Fans could then start to wonder to themselves “What the heck? This girl was the champion for a year and treated as the face of WWE, and now she is almost forgotten about it? Something about this doesn’t make sense.”

The WWE universe could then start clamoring for The Man to once again reap the rewards she has worked so hard to attain. This could lead to her winning another title at WrestleMania 38 or 39. There might be a narrative attached to Becky’s career that she has been forgotten about after holding a championship for a year and has finally gotten her due after WWE management has overlooked her for far too long.

WWE Cutting Back on Live Events

WWE will be cutting back on live events, which is sure to improve the health of their performers but reduce the size of their paychecks. This combined with the company’s recent struggles in the stock market and the success of AEW – which is regularly beating out NXT across the board in TV ratings almost every week in 2020 – is putting pressure on the company to step up their game.

Andrade Missing a Month

Unfortunately, Andrade has been suspended for the next month due to a violation of the WWE wellness policy and that is why he was written off TV this week on Raw by taking a hammerlock DDT from Humberto Carillo on the exposed concrete. All I can say is hopefully this doesn’t turn into a trend, since Robert Roode also recently served a 30-day suspension for the same violation. Brock Lesnar may need to continue making regular appearances on Monday Night Raw while Andrade is out so at least one champion is present on the show (since Andrade is obviously the United States Champion).

It’s a shame too because Andrade had a good amount of momentum going and there is no guarantee that he will get it back to the same degree. He is still obviously the United States Champion, so he is guaranteed to retain it, but it’s also a shame that Monday Night Raw will be without a championship of any kind featured on the show for the next month.
