So Lesnar and Ambrose can go months without defending their titles but Naomi can't?

I just figured that she was legit injured and so they took the title off her to build the heat in case she was able to come back at Mania.

If they'd kept the belt on her and she wasn't able to come to Mania, we'd have to figure that planning would be down to the minute, and that risks letting heat go to waste.

If they can have her out rehabbing, build sympathy/heat by having her essentially relinquish to Alexa, and come back on the go-home show or AT Mania, then you've got THE money moment.

Imagine them pulling the wool over our eyes thinking that she'll miss the show and then, SURPRISE....Naomi with the glow-in-the-dark entrance as the challenger. Wins it in her hometown after working hard to get healthy. :whew: :wow:

difference being they used the 30 day compete rule...and we knew how long those 3 were gonna be injured

while now they're actively putting Ambrose in WWE #1 contendership matches thus he's not defending his title

Becky was injured for over a month before defending/losing her title to Alexa and they simply kept Alexa busy until her title defense

She was out 2 weeks, stop exaggerating.

She clearly hurt her knee on the split-legged moonsault that won her the title. It was an awkward landing and she grabbed her knee as soon as she pinned Alexa. Reports even say she may have made it worse by competing at a live event the next night after Elimination Chamber.
:why:Why did they book a house show right after the ppv like the talent wouldn't be banged up?

I know the answer is money but this kind of stuff keeps people injured and working hurt.

And this is why I hate tokenism;

The only black woman champ has to be super human in order to stick around and rise through the ranks or we can't get a non-white champ.

She very well maybe hurt.

They are setting up scenarios here for future plans and building heat on Alexa.

1. If Naomi gets the thumbs up and is cleared, she will likely win the title in her hometown likely in a fatal 4 way against Mickie, Becky and Alexa with her winning the championship in her hometown completing a redemption story.

2. If Naomi is not cleared, it will likely be a triple threat between Becky,Mickie and Alexa. I am guessing Becky or Alexa will win.

The worst case scenario if she is cleared is a tag match between Mickie and Alexa vs Naomi and Becky.
