14 Hot Takes On The Week In Wrestling (Jan 13th)

9. Say You Want A Revolution

The current feud between Charlotte and Becky is what everyone imagined might come out of the Diva's Revolution. It's a story based on a conflict you can understand. Becky wants to win matches and progress up the card fair and square in order that competition means something. Charlotte thinks Becky needs a reality check. The in-ring is great, Lynch is killing it with her character and promo work, and the angle is only getting hotter. It might be the best thing on RAW at the moment, and Ric Flair's participation in the storyline as Drunk Dad is golden. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-DaFFiwj9I But we can still have more than one women's feud on RAW at once, right? Sasha Banks may or may not be sidelined with a knee injury, Nikki Bella is out with neck issues, and Paige is currently on the bench while they evaluate the effects of a minor concussion... but Natalya's only just returned from a broken ankle, and it seems like a great time for Naomi to step back into the picture... I've just read the last three entries back, factored in Seth Rollins' nasty ruptured knee, and Nigel suffering Christ, but WWE is cursed with these injuries. That's not even counting people like Daniel Bryan and Tyson Kidd, who've both been out for months. Maybe Wrestlemania 32 should just be a puppet show.
