WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long and veteran journalist Bill Apter share their insights on a recent unexpected booking decision in WWE, stirring discussion among fans and industry insiders alike.
Following Rhea Ripley’s unfortunate injury-forced relinquishment of the Women’s World Title, WWE held a Battle Royal to determine the new champion.
To the surprise of many, Becky Lynch emerged victorious, clinching her seventh championship reign on RAW.
In a candid discussion on The Wrestling Time Machine, hosted by Mac Davis, Teddy Long expressed admiration for the match’s intensity and praised Becky Lynch’s triumph.
“I really enjoyed that last night. Those girls really worked their butts off man. I mean, unbelievable man. That was really great. And to see Becky Lynch walk out with that, I think they made the right choice on that,”
Long remarked, highlighting the unpredictability that keeps fans engaged.
Meanwhile, veteran journalist Bill Apter offered a different perspective, suggesting that Liv Morgan’s victory would have served as a better long-term storyline.
Apter proposed that Morgan’s potential heel championship run could have set the stage for a dramatic showdown with Rhea Ripley upon her return.
“I think Liv Morgan should have gotten it in case Rhea’s gonna be back for SummerSlam and Liv Morgan could have cheating and cheating and cheating till SummerSlam while defending the title. And then the fever for that revenge tour from Rhea, from Mami coming back…”
Apter mused, presenting an alternative narrative arc.
As speculation mounts regarding WWE’s next moves, fans eagerly anticipate the unfolding drama and the impact of these unexpected creative decisions on the wrestling terrain.
