So many superstars are on the shelf right now, battling injuries. Be it Kevin Owens or Seth Rollins or Sami Zayn or Jason Jordan or even Roman Reigns, WWE has lost a lot of its stars on the road to WrestleMania.
The company cannot afford to have more superstars contract the injury bug and miss the 'grandest show of them all'. This angle is the perfect smokescreen to have Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey get a chance to rest and recover before the big show happens.
Not long ago, Vince McMahon blamed all the low ratings that WWE has seen in the recent months to the fact that so many top superstars are currently on the mend right now. And if there's a sense of paranoia backstage, he will not want to risk his top stars getting hurt.
Flair and Rousey can sit out for a few weeks, to sell these injuries.
