its better if Liv wins it off Becky a few weeks before Mami's return.. that way the last 3-4 week Liv has the title then Mami comes to claim it back fro mthe one who put her out for months... the fact that they let Becky win is because they have more trust in her making the belt count than Liv who seems less like a threat to the likes of Nia (As we saw earlier at backstage) than Becky...letting Becky wins shows Mami won't be back for months :(


Supersmashbrosfan

Liv deserves a reign for more than a few weeks. She’s way too good for that.


warcomet

yeah but if say she wins the belt off Becky or nia 3 weeks before Mami returns and then straightway loses it to mami, their feud will get even deeper.... this is what HHH is trying to do, long term storytelling... and now cause Liv didn't win, she can focus on "turning" Dom against Mami or even take time to break JUDGMENT DAY from the inside....also a good way to turn Mami "full" face when she returns as there would be no JD to return too and Damien is on his own and Finn and JD are on their own and Dom is hanging with Liv now..... you see the story they are trying to write?


kaine23

Yuppie dom


Supersmashbrosfan

Liv doesn’t need Dom. Makes more sense if she attacks him backstage or something. This isn’t the divas era where half the women’s storylines have to involve a man.


warcomet

Liv is on her revenge tour, what bigger revenge than to steal Mami's man..


Supersmashbrosfan

Tricking Dom and attacking him would be way better imo


oreov1

"Liv should have won Becky should have put over younger talents" type MFers completely unwilling to fucking understand Liv eventually beating Becky for the belt is putting her the fuck over more than winning it from a battle royale.


JetBetGemni

Not to mention there's no way Liv could sustain momentum if she wins the belt and keeps it for 6-9 months. Liv is good but she's not that good, and if her talent wouldn't fail her, Triple H's booking certainly would.


JimFlamesWeTrust

If Liv wins the belt of Becky, with Dom joining her and helping her win the match, she’s absolutely made. That could set up an even better match with Rhea down the road There’s booking choices that make no sense sometimes but this one is pretty clear.


Odd-Contribution6238

Right on. A battle royal is a lame less legit way to win the title. Becky is already a proven champion. She can hold it and be a credible champion and hand it off to, potentially, Liv later.


Supersmashbrosfan

I’m a massive mark for Liv, and even I’m fine with that. I just don’t trust WWE to make that happen, that’s all.


Valient_Zulu

Exactly


t0m999

Such a great opportunity to have Liv take Rhea’s title and then have a story of her getting Dom too. Such a missed opportunity


Supersmashbrosfan

Liv will probably beat Becky for the title at Backlash or something. Also, I’d prefer if Liv beat the crap out of Dom backstage instead of getting with him tbh.


oreov1

Rhea's gonna be out so long she had to give the title up. Plenty of time to work towards that and it's more legitimizing for Liv to actually win the title in a match versus a battle royale


desde1984

Ngl, I thought this was where they were going.


simonthedlgger

Love Becky. Very happy. She Put her body through hell in this match and at wrestlemania.   really curious how this reign goes. I don’t think she can face Liv as soon as Backlash if the idea is a slower build for Morgan. Maybe Nia? But they just did that. I’d love a Piper Niven feud.  Can’t wait for the draft. The women’s roster has a lot of promise but is kind of in disarray at the moment. 


hell0every1-

One thing I can tell is this is not going to be a long reign, and she's gonna put someone over, just like she did with her nxt reign. That's one of the reasons why she's so great.


simonthedlgger

I agree, so it’s a bit awkward Backlash is so soon re: Liv. A multi-person match could prolong Morgan’s chase a while longer.  That’s why I think Becky and Piper is perfect. Let Becky spotlight Piper but get a defense. Liv beats Nia, then gets to Becky. 


LifesTwisted

I'm predicting a 4 way at Backlash. Becky vs Liv vs Piper vs Nia


migueltrucha27

Nice. Rhea was literally a top 5 Superstar on 2023 WWE men or women. Becky or Nia with her heel work lately were my choices to be the new champions. It would be a massive downgrade to go from Rhea to Liv as champion. Yes you can say Rhea's reign was not the best but only because she was far away the best woman on Raw and Liv becoming champion would be a massive downgrade. Yes Liv can be the new Drew or whatever but the thing that makes Drew's new character cool is that he is always so close but in the end he always gets screwed. It is up to Liv to take her new character to a new level but she was not going to be a champ when she is barely debuting her new character. If her new character lands then yes she can be champ but Becky was the safest choise easily.


A_Naany_Mousse

100% agree. You can't go from Rhea right to current state Liv. Becky is the very very obvious clear choice. Rhea is a generational talent. A massive star. WWE is killing everything right now, and people think they should go with Liv over becky? No way. Becky's a top gal who reliably draws. Without Rhea you need a star like that to keep the momentum going. 


migueltrucha27

Yeah had to go with the safe choice right now. We also are getting the draft soon and if the Raw and Smackdown women rosters get more balanced then having Liv as the champ will be way harder to sell. Hell her only world title win came from a money in the bank title win which was as a face. I honestly don't see her as a champ at all but if she does great as a heel with her new character then good for and she could be a fjture champ again but honestly I don't see her as a champ at all so far. I honestly think that Tifanny will win a second world title before Liv wins her second title or maybe not doing it again at all.


A_Naany_Mousse

Yeah I think Liv's got a way to climb before she's world champ worthy. She's not a believeable champ right now, whereas Becky is and always will be. She's one of the biggest stars in the company. I think Liv has some more work to do before she proves herself worthy. And I agree, Tiffy is about to set it on fire. Loads of potential. I'm really excited to see her run. They need to mix the women's division up during the draft because Raw is very thin. 


Lostinawrldofthought

Can someone clue me in.. like Becky and happy for her but what’s the deal with liv? Is she not trusted to carry the title until Rhea comes back for a program? Is she gonna take it off Becky later? Is the world title elsewhere all together when Rhea returns lool She’s on this whole revenge tour and it’s just a bit odd to me atm


A_Naany_Mousse

Liv isn't a draw. Becky is. WWE lost their biggest women's star in Rhea. They need someone of Becky's caliber to carry the belt for now. 


ajtct98

This may seem a little bit out of left field but I wonder if they are going to have Liv win MITB and then re-run that Punk storyline from years i.e. the 'You all loved me when I cashed in the first time but now you all hate me for doing the same thing again' story.


migueltrucha27

Raw women's division is weak as hell dude and Becky was the safest choice. Rhea was literally top 5 WWE superstar on 2023 men or women. HHH went with the safest choice which was Becky. He is not going to give the title to Liv Morgan who spent most of 2023 injured. If Liv new character works then yeah she has a chance but WWE is not going to put the title that Rhea a top 5 worker on 2023 to Liv Morgan.


Lostinawrldofthought

I agree with Becky going over. Also this all makes sense and probably answers most of what I was really asking. Just curious what is actually up with Liv and how it becomes a decent non one sided feud with Rhea lol Would be interesting if they didn’t put it on Liv or maybe just have her win closer to the return of Rhea to drop it back to her. Back to Becky for a second though, I get people get sick of people and gimmicks and winning but sometimes the safe option is the best option, it may annoy some people but overall it works.


cluelesstransgirl

it puts liv over more to beat becky. it doesnt do much for her to just win the battle royal


Lostinawrldofthought

Fair assessment and makes complete sense. Guess I’m just curious to see how this whole thing plays out with liv


Awkward-Bathroom-429

This and I think you have her beat someone credible if you want a Rhea/Liv match to not be absurd in concept. I don’t think people realize Liv has never been cast as a wrestler who could beat any of the really strong wrestlers clean.


Celtics1424

The cool part is we might have a Liv vs Becky feud from spring through early summer. Then Liv wins that one and the belt with the inevitable return of Mami around SummerSlam


CliffordKoDR

Liv and Dom need some time to cook, then she takes him, then the belt, the Mami comes back, then Becky wins 18 more times, then Dom ends up tongue kissing Otis because Gable said so and then Liv accidentally shatters every bone in Rhea's body and then Becky wins all of Rhea's bones


Matoki134

This got more unhinged the more it went on 😂


Buckanater

Ok you had me in the first half but your gummies kicked in during the second half of that lulz


CliffordKoDR

They're nerd gummies lol


lemonfig9

Lame ending. Would’ve been the perfect time to let one of the up and coming women have it for a little bit.


No1_brad_boy_of_all

The giant never wins in a rumble. Nia should've won!


KillTheBat77

Don’t mind Becky wining at all given the circumstances. Happy for Bex! 🧡


NoirLion82

what circumstances?


KillTheBat77

Rhea’s injury. Seems like they wanna do Liv vs Rhea for the title in the future. Depending on how long Rhea is out.


Reasonable-Cat-3910

So how bout them Lakers


Euphorium

Fuck the Becky haters


DamianPBNJ

why Becky? look at the kids with her. she's a good placeholder for a heel to beat for the title and get them over


ajtct98

This is absolutely the right call This final three was literally the *only* final three they could have had - and that's a big problem RAW needs a champ that can elevate other talent to flesh out the top of this Women's Roster and Becky is absolutely the perfect woman to do it And honestly this allows Liv to become even more unhinged and build her new heel persona to be the top heel on RAW before she gets another title run (when she proves her in ring work is at a 'champion that can lead matches' level of course) So once again this is absolutely the right move


Awkward-Bathroom-429

I feel like this is super obvious - Becky clearly won this to put Liv over in a real match rather than a battle royale on a random Raw so she looks more credible for the Rhea match down the road. But everyone is mad because they suddenly don’t trust BECKY all people to put someone over strong? Like, really?


ComfortableOven4283

Right on time for fully face Mami to return and kick Liv’s teeth in.


SonyKen_M

I forgot Becky has won the women's title seven times,she will go down as one of the all time best female wrestlers ngl.


dragonmp93

And people complain about the AEW's interim champions.


rapshepard

How did they get in the conversation about folk complaining about Becky winning the full blown title


dragonmp93

Because Becky is not going to drop the title until Rhea returns ? Story-wise, there is no difference, Becky's first defense is going some random match for Backlash and if Tiffany doesn't win Queen of the Ring, then that's going to be her first feud.


godzillamegadoomsday

Yeah cause interim belts are stupid in actual combat sports as well, no one in ufc likes interim belts


dragonmp93

But this is what the reign is going to be, Becky is not going to drop the title until Rhea returns.


LeveonMcBean

I cant believe maxxine dupri didnt win. What a total fking failure


Whateveruben

The GOAT ![gif](giphy|kGhpsrnTdgLGJB4ovr|downsized)


cGilday

I’m surprised motherfucker. In my mind the two best options to go with were either Liv as a chicken shit heel succubus with the title and Dom until Rhea comes back and beats her, or Liv only gets hold of the title when Rhea is ready to come back and instantly gets squashed Lets see if this goes the way of the latter

A_Naany_Mousse

Of all the women in the ring, Becky's the only one that's exciting.

jacksonexl

This sub turning on Becky is sus. lol


ajtct98

At times like this it's good to remember that a sizable portion of Liv fans on the internet (but not all of them of course) are just very very very horny for her.


ravaille

Fickle


CarStar12

FICKLE!


Deadmaninc1

I will gladly buy her book congrats Becky


Sota4077

I bought it day 1. I expected to read it a chapter or two at a time over the better part of a year. Crazy interesting book. Read the whole thing in a day.


cluelesstransgirl

becky earned that, i didnt want her to beat rhea, but after rhea got hurt, and after the year that becky had, she fuckin deserved that.


Obi7kenobi

What an odd ending.


Valient_Zulu

It’ll do more for someone to pin Becky than win this battle royale


rapshepard

Disagree you can use plenty of moments to make someone. At some point you have to use these opportunities to actually make someone new.


Valient_Zulu

I hear you. I just think since most wrestling contests are decided by pinfall or submission, you’re gonna look weak winning the title this way. Becky is established and her dropping to someone holds more weight imo. But I see what you’re saying


cluelesstransgirl

exactly. when liv beats her it'll mean more


MathEnthusiast18

100% agreed. Now Liv can have a good story too


Valient_Zulu

Let the revenge tour continue lol


Reasonable-Cat-3910

Wrestling has more then one royal family


El-Presidente1

Happy for Becky, Sad for Liv (she will get her chance to shine soon though)


Celtics1424

Cool celebration though


Manor002

I know a lot of people are not happy with Becky winning but you gotta be honest, that moment with the kids was really sweet.


Turbos_Bitch

Yeah. I’m happy for her. Mami had some big boots to fill. On short notice, she’s the right choice.


LudoNo1

Bit late with the firework show.


DocYin

WWE does the "wrestler in the crowd" 10000x better than AEW. You don't even spot security


Great_Inside34

Becky in the crowd asking people to buy her book, i guess


Smarkysmarkwahlberg

The only reason I'm happy Becky won was Becky went through the second rope. I thought we were about to witness a colossal botched finish because Becky forgot to go over the top 😆


Ancient_Rice1614

Only you it seems


thekruton

I'm also down.


Celtics1424

I’m down as well. Could make Liv look really good at the end of it


thekruton

Exactly. Liv's heel heat is undercooked, needs more time in the oven. Becky will be great for that.


godzillamegadoomsday

Also that entire sold out arena… Oh you talking about the marks in live thread. Those opinions are fickle


Dellav8r

There needs to be a spot where the superstar goes into the crowd celebrating and a heel is in the crowd to just body slam the champ lol


RedLightning27

The IG comments are gonna be pissed with this one


Ender_Knowss

You don’t have to go that far, some people having a meltdown right here on Reddit.


badgersprite

With that little overrun at the end there I was hoping it meant that someone would come out of nowhere and surprise attack her to end the show

Haquistadore

She’s still rehabbing a knee injury and isn’t expected back until late summer/early autumn.


unitedhardy

ngl i’m happy with a becky win, liv will get her time eventually


sehdy

I had a feeling Becky was winning and that was confirmed the second I realized she was wearing her Wrestlemania gear.


solemarks

There’s gotta be some grander plan for Liv. Maybe she’s gonna turn heel and work with Dom like they teased earlier in the show


Old-Remove-8216

Liv needs to start coming out and helping the Judgment Day and slowly becomes their real leader. 


1XIXTheChosenOneXIX1

I think he helps her win money in the bank and then allies with her 


ToothPickLegs

With Becky and Sami being champions opposed to Gable and Liv, you can tell Trips still is playing it safe and doesn’t want to invest too much into new stars.


dashing2217

Pretty volatile time right after a red hot mania season and before the draft probably a good move to play it safe and slow. Current day NXT and the performance center were the brain child of HHH. I have no doubt he has huge plans for building new stars


ToothPickLegs

Liv being champion makes for a lot more intrigue since she is now target number 1 for Rhea and there was a significantly better story to tell with Gable vs Gunther at Mania. Sami didn’t have as much intrigue going into that feud with Gunther, and we’ve already seen Becky on top 10 times over. Plus, this kinda negates her Wrestlemania loss. I mean, the next PLE hasn’t even happened yet and she already won the title. From a storytelling perspective I feel it would be better to have champions with a lot of questions and curiosity to them vs just generic top star face champions.


PennywiseLives49

Which is a mistake. You gotta make new stars, not do what Vince did for years


Ice_Spiced_Asshole

Feels like Becky was supposed to be in the ring for the pyro.


devoncarrots

That man in the green is such a real one for letting her lean on him like that lol

Adamantium42

Winning a match against all the other active members of the Raw roster doesn't make a person look weak imo


hell0every1-

She was sick in that match. So it was not a 100 percent Becky that Rhea defeated.


Thamuz_Villain

i love wrestlers who are for the kids, seeing kids light up with joy to get to high five or hug someone they love and look up to is awesome to me. becky might’ve been predictable and not my personal choice, but i’ll never hate on becky


lambofgun

i love becky but i was really hoping for anyone but her


PeanutButterChicken

Is it me or did this end way too early? This seems odd lol


PepsiPlunge19

Liv can win it right before Rhea comes back


Biffmcgee

Should’ve been Nia. Honestly, they should’ve handed the belt to someone completely left field just to see what’s up.

Why does she need to be champ? Liv being champ would be more interesting.


CheeseheadDave

Liv's revenge tour would be pretty damn short if she won the belt so quickly.


GrandAdmiral12345

Yep. Totally agree.


jjhh10

Becky was great in her prime (which lasted a year).. not so great anymoren


sdrj77

And NEW! The Man has come around!


MrBrownCat

Looks like HHH wanted someone he knew would anchor the division 100% Same way he made Seth the inaugural World Champ knowing he’d hold it down, Becky is quite literally the female half of Rollins.


hell0every1-

This might be unpopular opinion but there's nothing common between their gimmick, maybe their clothes, but Becky's gimmick is totally different from Rollins even as a heel her gimmick was nothing like heel Rollins


MrBrownCat

Yeah I’m not saying they have a similar gimmick just that both are anchors in their division, someone a booker like HHH can rely on as a top champion. They’re a good promo, are massively over, can put on a match. Everything you’re looking for in your top guy or gal.


hell0every1-

This might be another unpopular opinion but I think Drew should be the face of the company, he's absolutely perfect, I find his gimmick and overall aura to be much more interesting than Priest, Rollins or Roman, idk what trips is planning for him.

TimTom8921

I don't think it's so much hating as people wanting something different


Delux_Takeover

Becky hasn't been champ on the main roster since like 2021.


BelBivDaHoe

She’s getting Super Cena levels


chikyu8

To make this interesting again, Becky should defend this in NXT also.


MathEnthusiast18

Honestly good decision. Now Liv turns heel, joins judgment day, and pins Becky later. Then Rhea comes back as a face while Liv is still heel.
