And there we have it! Becky Lynch was made to apologise to Stephanie McMahon and Triple H to make it to WrestleMania. But just as she did, things just got worse for The Man.
After weeks of speculations, Vince McMahon has announced the inclusion of Charlotte in the RAW Women's Championship match! However, there is a twist and he has suspended Becky Lynch for 60 days – taking her out of the main event altogether.
The Queen has yet again stolen the spotlight off The Man and this time, on the grandest stage of them all! Here are 5 reasons why WWE have replaced Becky with Charlotte in the RAW Women's Title match:
#5 Making it a Triple Threat match
The simplest reasons to start off with. With Stephanie McMahon and Triple H guaranteeing Becky that she will be going to WrestleMania if she apologised, this looks like the easiest way to make it a triple threat match.
In the next few weeks, there will be a lot of talk on the show between the McMahons and both will be sticking to their decisions. Triple H and Stephanie will be seen going around trying to convince Vince to change his decision.
In the end, like we have seen a lot of times before this, Vince will end up saying “You want your match at WrestleMania? You got it...but, Charlotte is not going to be taken out of it and this will now be a Triple Threat match!”
Or, there might be a role reversal with Becky winning a match and earning her way to the main event like Charlotte did at SummerSlam – when it was supposed to be Becky vs Carmella.
The ideal 'opponent' for Becky at that stage might just be Ruby Riott who is set to take on Ronda Rousey at the Elimination Chamber.
#4 To protect Becky Lynch
The Man is currently carrying a knee injury and the rumours suggest that she is legit hurt. She suffered the injury at the Royal Rumble and it has been in the storyline ever since.
While some suggested that Becky Lynch was going around every day wearing the knee brace to make the storyline look legit, others speculate that she is actually hurt and that was the reason why she was suspended by Stephanie last week on Monday Night Raw.
If her injury is actually a legit one, WWE are doing the right thing by introducing Charlotte in the main event of WrestleMania right now. It gives them enough time to see if Becky can recover on time and it wouldn't look like a last-minute decision to pull her out of the match.
And if Becky is still unable to recover on time, it gives WWE the chance to have Charlotte and Ronda dominate the match and just get The Man to sneak in the win.
#3 To make McMahon vs Becky even more interesting
After Stephanie McMahon suspended Becky Lynch on Monday Night RAW last week, rumours suggested that WWE were planning the have a match between the two at SummerSlam.
The storyline was being matched with that of Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Vince McMahon and this twist might be another step in that direction. WWE are planning for a feud between The Man and the Authority and are sowing the seeds for it right now.
The Irish Lasskicker might be the final match in the ring for Stephanie McMahon as her 'in-ring performance' contract expires later this year. While it is just a formality for the McMahons to extend their contracts, it might just be the ideal time for Stephanie to retire from in-ring performances.
#2 Restarting the Becky vs Charlotte rivalry
Without a doubt, Charlotte Flair vs Becky Lynch has been the best rivalry in the women's division in recent history. While WWE have also tried the same with Sasha Banks and Bayley, it has not gotten anywhere close to The Man vs The Queen.
Even though WWE have run and re-run this rivalry several times over the last few years, fans seem to enjoy it every single time. With rumours of Ronda Rousey taking a break after WrestleMania, WWE are once again, planning for the future.
WWE creative reportedly wants to have two women in the main event whose future in the company is secured. Ronda reportedly wants to start a family and is set to take a break – a year after she debuted on the grandest stage of them all.
It will be interesting to see what angle WWE go with this time as the 'you stole my limelight' angle is already done and dusted.
#1 Making Becky Lynch the Ultimate Babyface
No WWE superstar is 'over' with the fans like Becky Lynch is right now. She is the top babyface in the company and WWE are making sure that her status remains that way for a long time to come.
The Authority going against the babyfaces and making things difficult for them is nothing new. We have seen it with Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns in recent times and if we start looking at the history, where a similar storyline has taken place, this list will go on and on.
But the storyline that matches Becky the most right now is that of Stone Cold. The involvement of Vince McMahon out of nowhere tonight might just give her the added push and cement her place as the top babyface for the year, at least.
