WWE News: Road Dogg Replies To Fan Criticism Over Becky Lynch’s Booking

Since SummerSlam on August 19th, the booking of WWE Superstar Becky Lynch has remained a hot topic among the WWE Universe.

Of course, we all know Becky turned on Charlotte Flair after losing a Triple Threat for the SmackDown Women’s Title and ever since, many fans have been displeased with the WWE’s attempt at positioning ‘The Lass Kicker’ as a heel. One man who has always gotten the majority of grief or praise for SmackDown Live’s angles is Brian James (Road Dogg), a lead writer for the blue brand.

This week on Twitter, James responded to a number of fan comments regarding Becky’s booking:

Pick a side. That’s what I’m asking you to do, pick a side!!!

We’re listening, what would you have us do? She’s in the best women’s story, arguably the best story going today? What else can we do?

— Brian G. James (@WWERoadDogg) September 13, 2018

I don’t see her as a heel. I just see her as a Bad A$$ but I guess we see things differently

Also, “pops” aren’t what I’m shooting for mate but I get what you’re saying.

Well, it’s nice to get “a pop” but pops don’t pay the bills

EA’s Take: I mean…the guy isn’t wrong. I’ve found the crowd “rebellion” for lack of a better term to be just one of many absurdities when it comes to wrestling fans. We get it, you love Becky and you’re a fan of her, but that’s why you can’t see both sides of the spectrum. I hate to break it to people, but Becky had not been interesting for a long while and now, bam! She attacks Charlotte Flair and is instantly hotter than she’s ever been as a character, gets better reactions than she ever has. It’s not a coincidence that all happened at the same time. To me, it doesn’t matter if a character becomes successful as a heel, babyface, tweener, whatever. Success isn’t specifically exclusive to being a babyface so I don’t understand why people can’t just be happy that she’s in a prime spot. That’s what you should do if you REALLY support her.
