Should Becky Lynch return to NXT?

[MartialHorror]

We were all taken aback when Sasha, Charlotte and Becky made their Main Roster debuts at the same time, when we figured that it would just be Charlotte. Whether you liked the Diva's revolution or not, Becky's presence made sense as it rounded out the teams.

Personally, I would've had Paige, Charlotte an Sasha a team...which would make the subsequent breakdown be more plausible while keeping the storyline focused...but that's just me.

But now, Becky is just sort of...there. Charlotte is supposed to be the focus, except she's really not. Paige is beginning to steal the show and Sasha is getting stronger reactions. Then you have Nikki competing for the belt...That makes Becky sort of irrelevent right now. She's just there to back-up Charlotte and I don't think it's ever good to be presented as 'the friend' or 'the sibling' or 'the 'hench(wo)man'. Look at Nikki and Tamina. They're just Sasha's lackies and it makes it difficult for fans to care about them. Brie lost almost all of her momentum after turning heel, because now she was just second fiddle to Nikki and whether you like Nikki or not, it's universally agreed she's the better performer- making Brie look worse. Alicia and Naomi might be good performers, but...sorry girls, you've had your chance. Now people are interested in the newcomers.

But Becky is being treated in the same way, even if she's not jobbing as much. I still think she deserves a real run in NXT. Some can say the same thing about Tyler Breeze, who is rumored to be making his Main Roster debut soon, but he has been around for quite some time. He has had his time to shine, even if it has always been as support. Owens might've been elevated quickly, but the crazy way he was booked in NXT made this feel natural.

The Main Roster doesn't need her. NXT kind of does. When you look at the performers, you have Bayley and Asuka being the most interesting right now. I can't tell how good (or bad) Bliss is based on the one match I've seen from her. Eva Marie is Eva Marie, Dana Brooke is still green and Emma hasn't set the ring on fire yet since her return. Royce and Kaye seem good, but they've just been jobbers and Jax is the female equivalent of Braun Strowman from what I've seen from her. Not long ago, you had Charlotte, Sasha, Becky and Bayley- all exceptional performers- trying to get that top spot and it was compelling.

Now it's just Bayley and a bunch of maybes. Becky would make the difference, in my opinion.

I wouldn't mind if all 3 of them went back to NXT... The woman's division in NXT is kinda stale now and Sasha and Becky are both irrelevant on the main roster, sure Sasha has her Team B.A.D shit going on, but what have they really been doing? Nothing really.. Charlotte is the champion but hasn't been the main focus lately and The Bellas are still in the spotlight.. You think the divas division could use these 3 woman but WWE has no clue what to do with them.. Vince doesn't know how to book woman, he never has.. The divas division has been a joke since it started in 97. He's always had them prancing around in bikini's making fools out of them and the past 5 year's he's had them in filler matches that meant nothing.. Now he has a clusterfuck going on with all these woman and their silly little factions.

 

[Kodo Sawaki]

What people need to understand that not everyone has got to have the spotlight at the moment. Charlotte has spotlight now and in little lesser extent Sasha Banks. Beckys time could maybe come sooner later then later because cant see her as someone who just walks Charlotte to the ring and they will probably try to do something with her. Getting her to NXT would just be step back. Emma got back because she hasnt find her place at main roster but its still too early to call Becky debut a failure. She was a part of that "Revolution" thing and as much as it can be considered failure because it changed nothing its still big thing for WWE. So instead of getting her back to 3rd rated show they will maybe do something with her on main roster in future.

 

[Vanilla Midget]

Instead of sending her back a step, why not just use her? Because that's just it, she's a supporting player in a muddy angle that seemed destined for a logical conclusion, yet stammers on.

There has been one storyline, and one only, since the NXT divas debuted. That's it, nine women, one amorphous blob of a storyline. When Paige dropped her pipe bomb, that seemed like it, the factions would break up, but they haven't really.

The only development in the last three or more months is that Paige is evil for some reason. Banks is on TV less than Lynch, and she just shows up to support Charlotte. Team Bad has drifted to the back and Lynch is the one people are noticing as just occupying space.

Lynch can be Charlotte's bestie, but she needs her own beef. How is she furthering her career? Who is her foil and/or nemesis? Too many women are feuding at once in a stale angle that needs to stop.

Instead of dropping Lynch down, she should be feuding with Sasha, or Naomi, or Tamina, or somebody. The divas division could support 2 to 3 angles, but instead focuses on one. No wonder someone is standing there looking useless.

 

[MartialHorror]

Do you know what would be funny? After Charlotte beats Nikki in the rematch at HiaC, Nikki decides to have her own revolution and invade NXT.

Then we'd see the Bella Empire attacking Bayley, Asuka, etc. It might be horrible as the NXT womens division would not produce the highest quality of matches, but it would be different and might free up some space on the Main Roster for the likes of Becky and Sasha.

 

[Kurgen]

It was recently reported that Becky has officially moved to the main roster along with Sasha and Charlotte.

 

[Softcore Holly]

Going back full time would be a major step back for her. Sure she isn't be used as well as she could be but she is still seen on major television and on house shows across the country, which gives her more exposure and a bigger audience to build a new fanbase from compared to NXT where she is limited to mostly Full Sail and the WWE Network where she already has plenty of fans. The main roster is the best place for her to advance her career and for her and WWE to get the most money.

It also doesn't help that she wouldn't even be the top woman in NXT since it's clearly Bailey's time right now and unless she gets called up really soon it's pretty unlikely Becky would take that spot from her. For the most part she just needs to be used properly but as long as she stays at least somewhat relevant on the main roster she'll get her shot eventually, compared to NXT where who knows when she'll even get brought back up again much less get a chance of being divas champ. Yes it does kinda suck that she never got the NXT women's title like the other 4 horsewomen but I think she much rather stay and try to succeed in the main roster than be on top of NXT.

 

[OYDK]

Like somebody else said, they just need to use her. What's hurting her right now is the fact that she doesn't do anything and seems content to just stand in Charlotte's shadow. Give her a direction. Give her the role of trying to "prove" to the WWE Universe that she is also championship material. I mean, if they gave her a mic and she said simply, "this whole revolution has revolved around Sasha and Charlotte, but I'm going to prove to everybody that I'm just as good as they are", than boom, I'm invested in her.

Becky will be one of those long-term projects for WWE I think, but in the long-run it will benefit her. I think she'll be a good fit for the underdog role as there really is no true "underdog" in the Diva's division right now. Than again, the call-up of Bailey might hurt her chances there as well. Once WWE starts giving Becky something to work with, I'm sure she'll be fine. But they need to break her and Charlotte up... it's not like she adds anything to Charlotte's title run.

 

[Navi]

I see Becky Lynch as the female equivalent of a Dean Ambrose to Roman Reigns. Just put Charlotte into Reigns position. She will get involved in matches if she has too, but otherwise she's part of the team, just like Naomi, Tamina and Alicia Fox.

To tell you the truth this Diva's Revolution for me is over. it was over the night that Charlotte won the title from Nikki Bella, so why they are continuing with it I have no idea. Let the other girls wrestle for shit's sake. To anyone new who just started watching they might think that Charlotte and Nikki were the only two. The rest stand around like cardboard cutouts.

Keep Becky on the main roster, but give her a feud for God's sake. And stop having the Bella twins win every damm match they are in.

 

[Hollywood Naitch]

Although I can see the positives in using Becky in NXT again, I hope she remains on the main roster. She's certainly my favourite female wrestler in WWE at the moment, and does deserve more than being a supporting player behind Charlotte, Paige and the others. I'm pretty confident we'll see her come into her own when this current storyline finishes (it should have finished a while ago, it's been dragged out for too long).

She's really talented and in my opinion GORGEOUS, so the more Becky Lynch on TV the better I think!!

 

[ShinChan]

Nopes she shouldnot return to nxt....
She should be wrestling more frequently... atleast 1 per week and alone too.... not tag macthes.....

 

[Jack-Hammer]

I do think more can and will be done with her. As of right now, WWE's giving Charlotte a push and, as another poster said, not everybody can be in the spotlight at the same time. A month or so ago, people were complaining that they needed to move past the various tag team matches with the Divas and put more focus on the championship; as of now, they're putting more focus on the championship and the two women who're actually in the title picture are getting the most attention and that's exactly how it should be.

Becky Lynch's time will come, I've little doubt about that.

 

[Prince Vee]

She's the ultimate underdog now. Look, we got only 3 baby faces in the Divas division. Charlotte, who's the champion right now, Natalya, whom the WWE will always find a way to explain that she isn't giving them satiable reasons to be the champion and then Becky Lynch. If they move her back Down to the NXT once again then the Divas divisions will get flawed by a huge blowhole. WWE can't afford to do that. Let her be the underdog and she'll raise to the occasion in the future.

Cheers!!

 

[mancini999]

All of should have stayed on NXT. The casual fan does not care one bit about any of these ladies. Everyone says Sasha is the best of them but her gimmick is not going to work on the main roster for long. Really she's the BOSS of what? Her rings and glasses and other jewelry look silly. The Divas revolution is all hype and no substance. Women's wrestling has been and always will be a niche, small group of fans. The main problem I see with the divas is that can't connect on any level with the fans. Most can't talk to save their life to move a feud along to get people to care about it.

 

[Bischoff's Knob Slobberer]

lol....you guys take this female wrestling seriously don't you? No one cares about any of those no talents with the exception of Sasha. No one cares about Charolette, or Becky except for the OP.

 

[Dagger Dias]

Have you lost your mind, MartialHorror?

Sure, let's take the very best in-ring worker in the entire divas division and demote her back down to NXT. No! That's an awful idea and I disagree 100%. Becky Lynch is above NXT at this point and that's another statement. The only one who even comes close to being at her level in NXT is Bayley. She's leaps and bounds better than everyone else on the NXT divas roster, no one would ever be believable in defeating her. Becky should remain on the roster and wait for her chance to get a Divas Championship shot. The Raw divas division is the strongest now that it's been since Trish and Lita left in 2006. You have Paige, Charlotte, Becky Lynch, Sasha, Summer Rae, and Natalya all on the same roster. Why remove a top tier competitor? Sure she may not have been booked as strongly as Charlotte, but Charlotte having an ally is a good thing considering a certain underserving #1 contender has an annoying sister in her corner all the time. Becky needs to remain exactly where she is, she will one day get a Divas Championship reign of her own.

I guess it comes down to what you consider a demotion. Right now, I- and most people- believe that NXT is the superior product. The Ascension was the #1 tag team for along time and then they moved up...by becoming one of the biggest flops on the Main Roster in recent memory. What are the Lucha Dragons doing nght now? I dunno.

You say Becky helping Charlotte is a good thing for the story, but wouldn't standing alone make Charlotte the ultimate underdog? Imagine if she conquered the Bella Empire by herself. Then maybe she'd stand out as the current champion. Of course, it all comes down to where the WWE goes with this angle. Maybe Becky's 'Brie' status will have a satisfying pay-off. Or maybe she'll just be the girl who conquers irrelevant people like Alicia Fox, but is designed to put over the next contender for the belt.

Who knows. This topic is merely a question. Sasha Banks and Charlotte had strong reigns in NXT and from what I hear, Paige did as well. Becky never was given her moment, so she doesn't feel as important or as threatening. But as the Diva's division doesn't get as much time, she'll at least have to wait in line behind Charlotte, Sasha, Paige and probably Nikki too. There's too much competition on the Main Roster and not enough room to utilize it. I'd rather see Becky compete on NXT consistently than sporadically wrestle on "Superstars" or only appear in Tag Team matches. Just my opinion.

 

[kumarjtk]

if becky failed to make an impact or creative mis handling her then she go back to nxt and make a character change. It happend already to emma. She is famous when she make to main roster. But creative team spoil her whole character. Now she went back to nxt.

NXT may be superior in terms of quality of the in-ring product.... but as much as we all love NXT, it's a developmental show. So, yes, Emma going back to NXT was a demotion. Becky Lynch getting sent back to a developmental show from the flagship show, is in every sense of the word a demotion. What happened to The Ascension, The Lucha Dragons, and what some fear will happen to Neville, is all the creative team's fault. Someone as talented as Becky should be on the most important show, which is Raw. If anyone currently in the Divas Revolution should be sent down to NXT it's Brie. Becky would be dead last if I were to make a list of who needs to go to NXT the most.

 

[Mustang Sally]

I wouldn't mind if all 3 of them went back to NXT... The woman's division in NXT is kinda stale now....

I remember wondering how the players on a minor league baseball team feel when their leading batter or pitcher is promoted to the majors; it's probably similar to what the roster of NXT feels when their best performers go to the main roster.

On the female side of the NXT line-up, it was probably a mistake to send the heart of the 'batting order' to WWE at the same time. As already stated in this thread, it really decimated the impact of the gals, leaving poor Bayley to hold up the whole shebang. (Get it? Shebang? )

Still, I would think the goal of everyone who performs on NXT is to get to the 'majors' and if Triple H & company were able to find and develop such an effective roster before, they're likely already in the process of doing it again.

As for Becky, she probably loved moving up but was hopefully made to understand that all the divas couldn't be featured at the same time. They were surely told in advance that Charlotte and Sasha would be the newbies with the focus on them initially.

In a wrestling sense, Becky is just fine and they'll hopefully work her into the spotlight more once the excitement over Charlotte & Sasha fades a bit.

I agree with the entire post and then I spotted something...something just wrong. Are you trying to sneak your favourite diva into the mix without people noticing?

Also Natalya is the best in-ring worker IMO, but Becky is exceptional so it might just be a matter of opinion there.

There is nothing wrong with Becky Lynch's character. The problem is the WWE can only seem to focus on one or two people at a time. We're seeing in the men's division that half the roster is forgotten about, and thrown into tag matches, and now it's happening in the women's division.

There is no reason why we can't have numerous feuds happening. It would highlight wrestlers, give us a break from the same old every week, and freshen up things in general.

As for Emma, she was sent back due to a couple of reasons. Her character worked with Santino, but he retired, and it didn't seem to work on it's own. Then she had that unfortunate shoplifting incident, and was fired for a day or two. I'm not surprised they sent her back down, and it's done her a world of good.

Becky Lynch is not in the same category as Emma. Lynch is a seasoned professional, who came into NXT knowing her stuff. She is a far better wrestler than Emma and should remain on the main roster. They just have to start giving her a feud. For someone with her talent to just be standing around is a waste. Let Brie Bella and Cameron and the other lamewads do that.

 

[Dagger Dias]

I agree with the entire post and then I spotted something...something just wrong. Are you trying to sneak your favourite diva into the mix without people noticing?

No I wasn't trying to "sneak her in". While she may not be as good as Sasha or anyone from PCB, Summer is much better than people give her credit for.

Also Natalya is the best in-ring worker IMO, but Becky is exceptional so it might just be a matter of opinion there.

Natalya is excellent in the ring and I don't disagree that she is among the very best. I do rank Becky as the absolute best in the ring at this time on the main roster though. This is why I disagreed with the opening post. No one should return to NXT unless they are in bad need of improvement whether it be they suck at working a match, cannot cut a promo, need a complete overhaul of their character/gimmick, or any combination of these three issues. Becky Lynch is not having problems in any of those three areas.

 

[BigDaddyKewl]

I think most of us can agree that the divas revolution has been a flop so far. But I don't neccassarily think they need to send Becky Lynch back to NXT. Paige will probably be challenging Charlotte heading into Survivor Series. So Becky will probably have a few matches with Paige on TV as part of the build up. Eventually Charlotte and Becky will have a falling out and they can feud with each other. So I think she has some direction but I don't think she's someone that there going to build the Divas division around.

 

[BillAlfonsos_Whistle]

The womens division will be worthless and never taken seriously until there are only three girls being featured.

Paige.
Sasha.
Flair.

In that order.
