Becky Lynch.
Think she is the most interesting/entertaining worker in the company right now. |

Watched a 3 minute clip of Becky's promo. Was there ever a thing about her having issues on the mic, because she seemed comfy and confident tonight.

So if the SmackDown finalist loses, they're fired
Orton going to Raw feels pretty likely |

I like Joe and I like Styles, but I've had more than my fill of them wrestling each other this year.

She's always been good, but most of her good promos came on WWE.com or Talking Smack, while on TV she just had to do the generic "smiley face" promos. When she actually got the opportunity to speak.

There was also "newz" about Kevin Dunn hating her accent and not wanting her to speak ever (or much).

Accent isn't bad. It's not like we can't understand what she's saying. I thought her promo and overall cadence last night was pretty good

She did Sam Roberts' show and she's articulate as hell. Plus yeah, her promos recently have been very good. Like... they don't sound written... sounds like she's actually saying it.
I'm not saying she's MEGA STAR MAIN STREAM material, but she's doing quite well. Better than any other woman. IMO though Ronda is where the money is, but that doesn't mean Becky can't be the Rock to her Austin. |

Exactly. Two badass women from completely different walks of life can coexist.

She's the reason we all fell in love with wrestling. A character with a personality and swagger that is uniquely their own.
I don't know how much of her promos are written for her, but if they are, she does what most of the roster can't by making it her own. Its not just the savage burns that make her awesome, but her delivery, mannerisms, and facial expressions. |

there's no way they aren't written but she's figured out how to make them authentic.

Didn't he just move there fairly recently?
Orton or Hardy makes a lot more sense to me. |

The Miz did move to SmackDown in April (even though it feels like he's been there much longer) but I just can't imagine Orton or Hardy getting fired by Shane though.
Hardy being fired by Shane wouldn't really make Shane look good. They're both faces and a face firing a face just doesn't make that much sense to me as it would hurt Shane in a way and make him look bad, unless it's the beginning of a heel turn for Shane (which I doubt). If it does happen, then Hardy's firing is going to be this "Shane: You're fired. Hardy: I understand." deal and that's just really boring. This stipulation of being fired wouldn't have been added pretty much at the last moment if something noteworthy wasn't going to come out of it. Orton being fired by Shane does make more sense than Hardy but at the same time, Orton right now is this big sadistic bully and I can't imagine Orton being fired by Shane and then just accepting it and leaving. That wouldn't really do his gimmick any favours and he can't really throw a tantrum or scream "noooo" whilst being forced out as that isn't the kind of heel Orton is. That's more of something The Miz would do. If it does happen and Orton is fired, then Orton will definitely do something to Shane as a way of keeping the gimmick up as he transitions to Raw. If he doesn't and then just accepts his firing, then I can only assume that he'll appear on Raw as a face but (probably) with his sadistic side intact. The Miz being fired by Shane just makes the most sense to me. Miz is always going on about how great he is and getting to the finals of a tournament to "determine the best in the world" has The Miz written all over it. The Miz losing to Angle in the final would give Miz something to cry about and his firing will be one of those "hey hey hey goodbye" moments on SmackDown next week. The Miz could then appear on Raw the next week holding the claim the he's the best active superstar on the roster (as Angle is not an active competitor and just a GM, unless that changes) as he got to the finals of the tournament. I can also see him moving to Raw as a way to have him chase the Universal Championship. The Miz has been excellent for so long now but I get the feeling that Vince & Co. don't want to put the WWE Championship on him for various reason but they're happy enough to give him the Universal Championship instead. There also doesn't seem to be anything left for him on SmackDown. He's had his feud with Daniel Bryan, which I'm sure was the main reason why he was moved to SmackDown, and there isn't really any titles he can go for as the WWE Championship is out of the question for him (as I mentioned why) and the US Championship is being held by a fellow heel in Nakamura and either one of them turning face wouldn't work as they're both doing great jobs as heels at the moment, so risking one of them accidentally turning during the fued isn't really a good idea and finally, I think having The Miz chase the Tag Team Championships would actually hurt him, so Raw seems like the only option for him if Vince & Co. don't want him to drift off into obscurity. Also, I know that this is way into the future but having The Miz as the loudmouth, arrogant, cocky, chicken shit heel that he is as Universal Champion, and then having a returning Roman Reigns beat the shit out of him and take back "his title", sounds like something Vince (and possibly the fans) would love. Vince has already had Reigns defeat "powerful enemies" such as Strowman and Lesnar, so this would be another route to go down. |

I could see Jeff or Rey moving though to “fill the void” of Roman.
