Fastlane 2019 is finally behind us and we can move full throttle towards WrestleMania 35. The biggest takeaway from Fastlane is that the main event of the Show of Shows is now set. The Raw Women's champion Ronda Rousey is going to defend her title against Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch.
After weeks and weeks of twists and turns, we finally have all three women in the main event of the grandest pay-per-view WWE has to offer. Ronda's place was set on the basis of being the champion. Becky Lynch won the Royal Rumble match and chose Ronda as her opponent but had to earn her place by beating Charlotte at Fastlane.
Charlotte, on the other hand, was handpicked by the chairman of the company Vince Mcmohan. The match is sure to bring the house down, but, here are 5 reasons why the triple threat match was a bad move on WWE's part:
#1 Undermines the Royal Rumble winner
Royal Rumble is an annual WWE pay-per-view. The biggest draw of the PPV is the battle royale matches that are contested between both male and female superstars. The prize for winning the Rumble match is a guaranteed shot at a champion of the winner's choice at WrestleMania. By that logic, Becky Lynch should have been a shoo-in for the main event at 'Mania.
But, Vince Mcmohan removed Becky from the match just because she happened to have a "bad" attitude. Eventually, Becky got her match after the disqualification victory against Charlotte. But, if WWE can just null and void a Royal Rumble win, what incentive is there for a superstar to actually win the match?
Yeah, it created sympathy for Becky but WWE could have booked it another way around. Instead of having Becky earn her place, the match at Fastlane should have with stipulations where if Lynch would have lost, her place would have been taken away. In that way, Becky would have always kept her place at WrestleMania and would have had to fight to keep herself in the match.
#2 Charlotte is just there to take the pin
Charlotte Flair is the least favorite of the three to walk out of WrestleMania 35 as the RAW Women's champion. The feud was always between Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey. Only reason Charlotte found herself into this particular feud was the unfortunate injury suffered by Becky before Survivor Series. WWE could have had the Ronda-Charlotte match at Royal Rumble.
A one-on-one match would have brought out a better face-heel dynamic with Becky being the face and Ronda being the dominant heel. Charlotte seems out of the picture in the feud and has been booked like a loser up until now. While Becky's character has remained as the in-your-face type one, Charlotte's character has taken a cowardly turn whenever Ronda Rousey is present.
Even though Charlotte completely decimated Ronda after their match at Survivor Series. Charlotte is one of the best female superstars in WWE, but, she should have never been involved in the match at WrestleMania. A clean one-on-one victory over Ronda would have developed Becky's character more.
#3 No one is ready for Asuka
In all the hype regarding the RAW Women's championship, everyone seems to forget that both Becky and Charlotte are two of the biggest female superstars in Smackdown Live. With them feuding for the RAW title, Smackdown Women's champion Asuka does not seem to have a credible opponent to face at WrestleMania 35.
There are rumors that Lacey Evans is going to feuding with Asuka for the championship at WrestleMania. But, her gimmick of walking up and down the ramp without entering the ring has been pretty boring, to say the least. Evans has no credibility whatsoever on the main roster. WWE could have had the Charlotte-Ronda at Royal Rumble and then The Queen could have entered in a feud with Asuka. While Becky would have had her feud with Rousey.
The Asuka-Charlotte feud would have been the same as last year with the roles reversed. Both of them had an excellent match at Wrestlemania 34, and they could have had the same this year. In this way, both women's championship matches would have featured the top four women in the company at the Grandest Stage of Them All.
