Will Becky Lynch be cleared to compete at WrestleMania 35?

Believe it or not, that is the question the WWE Universe seems to be asking themselves after Lynch was suspended for not seeing a doctor and while this could just be the company's way to build up the match, it seems like a weird way to go about it. Beyond that, it seems like the company isn't clear on whether Lynch can actually compete or not.

In fact, between Lynch barely being able to lock in the Dis-Arm-Her before collapsing to her feet, to the way she walked to and from the ring, this could all be a way for the company to write her out of the blockbuster match-up at WrestleMania 35. If true, it presents two pressing questions that need to be answered.

The first is what this will mean for the rest of Lynch's career, especially with her getting injured during two white-hot runs at the top of the card and the second is who will be taking her place in the match against Ronda Rousey Interestingly enough, WWE has a lot of options to replace Lynch and some might even be better than the original dream match.

Here are four such options!


#4 Asuka

Would Ronda Rousey be ready for Asuka?
Would Ronda Rousey be ready for Asuka?

Watching Ronda Rousey and Asuka do battle for The Raw Women's title would be a once in a lifetime type of matchup and might even exceed the expectations set forth by Lynch versus Rousey. Furthermore, the match would be a brilliant mix of Rousey's hard-hitting offense and Asuka's aerial assault, which would be interesting to see.

As if that wasn't enough reason to give this match a chacne, it also would be a great first loss for Rousey and really redeem Asuka's loss at last year's WrestleMania.

If nothing else, the loss Asuka took last year from Charlotte was a travesty of justice and really killed Asuka's mystique, which is why she deserves a chance to gain it back!

#3 AJ Lee

Time for some fantasy booking.

AJ Lee has been away from WWE for a long time now and it's no secret that the WWE Universe is absolutely clamouring to see The Geek Goddess return. Of course, WWE already tried to contact her to make a return at the Evolution pay per view, but the company was turned down by the former Divas champion.

With that being said and the WWE Universe still wanting to see Lee back in action, she would no doubt serve as the perfect backup plan if Lynch isn't able to compete. In fact, unlike some of the other superstars on this list, the match would still be main event worthy, which is a huge plus for the company and the women's revolution.

In all honesty, a return from AJ Leee would probably be on the same level that a CM Punk return would be and maybe even more! Add in the uniqueness of a venue like WrestleMania and the likely one time nature of Lee's appearance and you truly have a match that will exceed expectations.

#2 Sasha Banks

Should WWE give Sasha Banks one more crack at the title?
Should WWE give Sasha Banks one more crack at the title?

Whether you like Sasha Banks or not, you have to admit that she and Ronda Rousey absolutely tore down the house during their match at the Royal Rumble. Maybe that is due to the fact that WWE is slowly wearing Rousey down for her eventual lose and thus allowed Banks to get in more offense during the match, but it was still a sight to see.

WWE also had Banks repeatedly rebuke Rousey's tries for sportsmanship after the match, which could be a great way to create a round two between the two superstars. As if all that wasn't reason enough for a rematch between the two, Rousey and Banks play very well off of each other on the microphone and would probably do the same if given the chance again.

In the end, it's not Rousey versus Lynch and probably wouldn't be deserving of the same main event spot that the aforementioned match would be, but it would be a serviceable substitute if the worst case scenario ever came to be. In fact, it could even steal the show with what these two superstars have shown in the past.

#1 Charlotte

Charlotte Flair versus Ronda Rousey Part two. Who wins?

Charlotte Flair vs. Ronda Rousey - while this was a match that the WWE already did at the Survivor Series pay per view, one can argue that the two have unfinished business after Rousey cost Charlotte Flair the Women's title at TLC. In fact, with Charlotte Flair's latest heel turn and her wicked skills on the microphone, she would be the best replacement for Lynch at WrestleMania 35.

Beyond that, Flair has shown she is more than capable of having a blockbuster match with Rousey and could easily do it again if the company were to script it right. Again, it's a match that already happened and thus will not be the first time ever match that Rousey versus Lynch would have been, but it would still be worthy of the main event slot.

If nothing else, there are very few other superstars on the women's roster that could warrant a main event match against Rousey at WrestleMania 35 and WWE needs to take that into consideration. They also need to take into consideration that they have a history between Rousey and Flair, which wouldn't be the case for many other possible opponents.
