With WrestleMania 36 just over four months away, it is safe to assume that Becky Lynch will be involved in the RAW Women’s Championship match at the event.

Given the number of matches that the two women have had in the past, it seems highly unlikely that Lynch and Charlotte Flair will battle it out for the second year in a row at WrestleMania, which means “The Queen” would almost certainly switch brands if she wins the 2020 Royal Rumble.

From a storyline perspective, WWE could potentially revive Flair’s rivalries with Sasha Banks and/or SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley in time for WrestleMania. However, it might not prove to be a popular decision if they kick-start that story with a Rumble triumph for Flair, whose frequent victories in high-profile matches are often questioned by fans.

That being said, this is Flair we are talking about, and WWE has shown on multiple occasions that fans’ opinions on her 10 World Championship victories are not going to stop the WrestleMania 35 main-eventer from being one of the most decorated Champions in WWE history.
