5 Ups And 7 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Feb 25)

1. Rousey The Savior

WWE seemed to have it figured out with the Becky Lynch saga: Lasskicker gets suspended, keeps showing up, gets arrested, and keeps wreaking havoc until she gets what she wants.

Nope.

After Lynch got arrested Monday night, it was Ronda Rousey who demanded that the McMahons – Vince or Stephanie – change the Raw Women’s Championship match and add Becky to it. Ronda demanded that Steph reinstate Becky, telling her to do “what’s best for business,” even invoking Steph’s three daughters.

It got stranger when Rousey threw down the title, which she called a “belt” that didn’t mean anything because she couldn’t defend it against the best (read: Becky). And thus she left Stephanie and Triple H in shock.

So, what? Now we’re supposed to accept that it’s Rousey lobbying for Becky to get a match rather than Lynch forcing her way into the match? Is that supposed to make us cheer Ronda? Why? Why not have the fans demand the match if they don't was Lynch doing her "Stone Cold" act to force the McMahons to put her in the match?

This is just damn odd.
