Before the punch they were doing Ronda/Becky at Survivor Series. I doubt it would have been Wrestlemania too.

Yeah, but Becky wasn't even on the radar for the Mania main until the Charlotte and Ronda feuds caught fire. Plus main eventing SurSer is different than probably being the semi-main at the Februrary or March show. (remember they're doing two shows between RR and WM this year, because gently caress building Mania up with a longer build to add to it's stature)

Don't mania triple threat main events have a pretty good track record?

Thinking if wm20 and wm30. I know there was another one with cena but wasn't watching at the time.

I do know wm2000 main sucked though

Trust me, I get the logic of wanting a singles match, especially given that a lot of matches, women's matches in particular, at Mania the last few years have had the air of desperately throwing as many women in as possible (hiiiii WM33) but, I think you guys need to just kinda face facts and admit Charlotte is the best worker of these three women by a pretty big margin and her being in the match will make it a lot better.

Also Charlotte murdering Ronda was like one of the only things WWE did last year with any real heat behind it.

Charlotte kicks rear end

I think my point got kind of missed. I'm not mad that Charlotte will be in the WM match. I'm mad that they're having the one combination that hasn't been done yet done before Mania. They could NOT do it and preserve the freshness of Ronda and Becky in the same ring and still have Charlotte involved. Hell, even have it in the build where she talks about having beaten them both.

I'm curious where that leaves the Smackdown Women's Title though. Assuming Asuka is still champion, she'll need someone to face. And the only real names who spring to mind are Nikki Cross (if she's on Smackdown, which seems really likely since she's been working the house show circuit with them), Sonya Deville, and potentially Mandy Rose (if the rumors of Vince being super high on her are true).

I mean I see Asuka retaining, because I think Ronda will probably stick around after Wrestlemania but jump ship to Smackdown. And that's another match that WWE will want to run. Asuka vs Ronda Rousey. Which I could see being done at Summerslam, assuming they aren't doing the 4HW vs 4HW stuff.

Yeeeeeeah. If they think Ronda's splittin' to go have kids relatively soon, I kinda get it? But she can't wait until, like, MitB or SummerSlam to have the singles match with Becky?

And that in the leadup, we will get a Becky vs Ronda singles match before Wrestlemania.

Obviously plans subject to change, but I have a bad feeling about Asuka's title reign at the Royal Rumble if that's the case.

I don't believe that.

Asuka was a means to getting the belt off Becky & back onto Charlotte.

If the triple threat match takes place at Wrestlemania like what Bryan is claiming, then neither Charlotte or Becky should be champion heading into it. And I imagine after that, they'll probably start moving the pieces into place for a 4HW vs 4HW feud. Trade Ember and possibly someone else over to Smackdown in exchange for Charlotte and Becky.

Charlotte and Ronda should be champion going in and Becky can win both belts at once.
