It's gonna be Charlotte vs. Rhea or Bianca or a triple threat with them

My early money (hypothetical because wrestling obviously isn't worth betting on) is on her beating Rhea at Mania, because it's the option that makes everyone unhappy: NXT finally treated as a main roster brand with its own place on the biggest show of the year specifically so Charlotte can win another title and get closer to Ric's record

A weird part of me kind of thinks she's gonna challenge for the tag belts. Maybe 2-on-1.

I just think there's gonna be some "Charlotte Two Belts" thing.

Nah, we're gonna get a last minute Charlotte/Bayley/Becky triple threat because Vince loves to serve up plates of poo poo and watch everyone eat it up

Yeah, that was my first thought. A rehash of last year's main event. If Shayna had kept the NXT title I would have thought she might win the SD belt and challenge Becky and Shayna to put up their belts in a Winner Takes All so she could be "Three Belts" with Shayna replacing Rousey. Then I thought maybe the tag belts where she claims both of them. Then I thought maybe she tries to do double duty and win two titles. Or maybe just Becky and the RAW belt but with Shayna in Ronda's spot.

Basically I'm just expecting some kind of rehash of last year in some form with Charlotte trying to match/one up Becky.

To the shock of no one, Dave mentioned in the daily update that Becky's WM opponent is going to be Shayna Baszler as of right now. Charlotte will not be facing Bayley. Which likely means she's heading to NXT to challenge Rhea. Which is insanely stupid but also peak WWE. It'll be interesting to see how Full Sail treats Charlotte considering she's pretty much public enemy #1 among online fans when it comes to women's wrestling in WWE.

I think Shayna winning at Mania will get a better reaction than whatever Charlotte ends up doing. A full calendar year since Becky won it at last Mania seems like the right place and time for that run to finally stop

ps darkstar you rule and certain posters posting right after you need to stop being jerks to you just because nobody likes them

COME ON DON'T BE SCURRED
I'd be willing to be a little bit more that there will be some sort of WM title stip with Baszler at Chamber or some other angle fuckery rather than a straight NXT challenge, but we'll see. Not as down on her returning to NXT if thats the play, she can deliver good matches when given the opportunity and motivation. That might do well to rehab her image with hardcore fans*

*WWE does not care about hardcore fans

I think the problem with Charlotte is that fans already know she is capable of delivering good matches, but they are also starting to learn that her motivation is almost completely tied into her winning as of late. If she isn't winning, she'll make the other woman look awful. I think the one somewhat recent exception is Becky, but that's probably because they are BFFs behind the scenes. And its going to take a lot more than good matches to rehab her image with fans. Especially after the Kairi situation.

There is zero reason to believe that Charlotte will put forth her best effort to put over Rhea or Io or Bianca or whoever she faces at Wrestlemania if she is losing the match.

As for Shayna, she doesn't really have motivation issues, just that she only really works one match style.

what?


yeah my read of that would be "bayley isn't champion going into wrestlemania", not "charlotte doesn't challenge the smackdown champion", unless dave said that version explicitly and I missed it.

could easily see shayna vs becky and ronda vs charlotte as the two headlining women's matches, w/ ronda killing bayley some time in between.

or a whole bunch of other options, idk. if it's rhea and charlotte, so be it, two kinda lovely people having a kinda lovely match.

This strikes me as more likely but I have no idea who Bayley could drop it to. Mostly because I have no idea who else is in SmackDown's womens division.

Charlotte challenging for the NXT title does a lot to make that belt look important and get more eyes on it. I'd prefer she doesn't win, but at the very least it's new and could lead to some fun stuff.
