Just a few short years ago, no one could have imagined that a women’s match would close WrestleMania<\/strong>, and now here we are – in 2019, it’s almost a certainty. “Not a prediction, but a spoiler”, as Paul Heyman<\/strong>\u00a0would likely say.\u00a0 So, why does Charlotte Flair<\/strong> need to be added to this match? Why add a third superstar to an already hot feud which needs no further addition?<\/p>\n

Charlotte Flair is one of the best – if not the<\/em> best – female wrestlers in the world today.\u00a0 That is a fact that cannot and should not be overlooked.\u00a0 If the WWE<\/strong> is going to go with a women’s match headlining WrestleMania XXXV<\/strong> – and all signs certainly point toward that outcome – you can certainly understand why Vince McMahon<\/strong> would want her to be in that match.\u00a0 She’s a uniquely gifted performer with talent, name-value and the ability to play an excellent heel.\u00a0 With all of that being said, this is simply not<\/em> her time.\u00a0 When Ronda Rousey\u00a0<\/strong>was revealed as the WWE’s newest signing at the beginning of 2018, there was always a belief that she’d be headlining WrestleMania<\/strong>\u00a0– and probably<\/em> alongside Charlotte Flair.\u00a0 What has happened since then, however, is the awakening of a superstar who has eclipsed Charlotte as the most relevant female superstar (not including Rousey) in the company.\u00a0 Of course, I am referring to the natural phenomenon that is Becky Lynch<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In mid-2018, Becky Lynch – after years of being the most criminally under-used superstar of either the RAW<\/strong> and Smackdown Live<\/strong> women’s divisions – started becoming the arguable face of the company.\u00a0 It was a rapid rise of a superstar not seen since the rise of\u00a0Daniel Bryan<\/strong> in 2013.\u00a0 Since Roman Reigns<\/strong>‘ leukaemia announcement back in October 2018, a case can be made that Becky Lynch has acted as the heir to the face-of-the-company mantle.\u00a0 She has grabbed Mr. McMahon’s brass ring, melted it down and turned it into a necklace which you’d have to kill her to take back.\u00a0 She has the rare ability to make anyone on the opposite side of the ring to her a heel by default; the live audiences will boo anyone<\/em>\u00a0opposing Becky Lynch.\u00a0 She has – alongside Rousey – kept alive a relatively entertaining “Twitter war” which will comfortably translate into a great in-ring feud and, likely, the best match of either of their wrestling careers.\u00a0 It will certainly be the most significant – and it would serve as evidence that the Women’s Revolution<\/strong> is not just a buzz-word, but an actual reality.<\/p>\n

Rousey\/Lynch was the hottest feud of 2018 and they never wrestled a single match together.\u00a0 It was almost a blessing for Becky that she was injured by\u00a0Nia Jax<\/strong>, because if the Becky vs Ronda match scheduled for Survivor Series\u00a02018<\/strong> actually took place, it might be a Charlotte vs Ronda match headlining WrestleMania this year.\u00a0 Now, to be fair, if Charlotte is added to the main event of WrestleMania, she would not be some random addition thrown into this match just to make Vince happy; she has been involved with both superstars for months, having great matches with both women in the process.\u00a0 She brutishly attacked Ronda Rousey – disqualifying herself – during their Survivor Series match – further adding to any story which might involve her in this feud.\u00a0 Charlotte could also quite easily be added to this match as the jealous ex-friend of Becky, who believes Becky is only where she is at right now because she adopted the Machiavellian traits of Charlotte’s heelish “win at all cost” persona.\u00a0 That outcome is certainly what was teased on Smackdown Live this week.<\/p>\n
