5 Reasons WWE will unify the Women's Titles at WrestleMania 35

Sunday will mark the first all women's main event at WrestleMania and while a lot of the focus is on the history of it all, there are still a lot of unanswered questions floating around. In fact, between Asuka losing the Smackdown Live Women's title to Charlotte Flair and the title now being up for grabs in the triple threat main event, one has to wonder, why?

Seriously though? Why would WWE take Asuka, have her lose the Smackdown Live women's title and put it on Charlotte Flair out of all people? Sure, one could argue that it adds an extra layer to the match and also helps the company cut time from an already jam-packed event, but it seems like the reasoning goes even deeper than that.

With that being said and The Man, The Queen and The Baddest Woman on the planet set to face off at WrestleMania 35, here are five reasons why WWE will unify the titles at the event. As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments below, and tell us if you think WWE will unify the title.

#5. Lackluster Smackdown Live Women's division

Besides superstars like Charlotte and Asuka, the Smackdown Live women's division is pretty bare.

It's no secret that the Raw Women's division is far superior to Smackdown Live's and while some of that has to do with time restraints, it still doesn't make for very interesting television. In fact, writers seem incapable of making the Smackdown live women's division even remotely bearable at this point, which is insane considering how great Raw's is right now.

Sure, one could argue that WWE has been doing storytelling for the Raw Women's title match on both Raw and Smackdown Live, which has been very interesting to watch, but the division doesn't feature anything beyond that. It also almost seems like WWE has been using the Lynch, Rousey, Charlotte storyline to make up for a lackluster division.

In the end, this is a big problem for WWE, so unifying the titles and having the females on both shows is definitely a way to fix that. It also gives Fox Sports access to both women's divisions and is arguably one of the company's biggest assets right now. If nothing else, it's a good deal for the time being and could lead to some reinvigorating storytelling.

#4. Adds an extra layer to the main event

Is this the end of the Smackdown Live Women's title?

Let's be honest here.

The woman that ends up winning this match will be the undisputed champion of the entire women's division and that helps to make the marquee main event all the more special. In fact, it sets the winner, whoever that happens to be, on a separate pedestal than the rest of the division and could act as one of the greatest crowning moments in WrestleMania history.

Beyond all that, doing this creates doubt about what will happen once one of the competitors win the belt and what it will mean for the future of the division. If nothing else, this is one of the biggest question marks heading into the show of shows and it is honestly a very enthralling one to think about.

On one hand, WWE could just have the winner hold the titles for a period of time and then lose one back to a Smackdown Live or Raw superstar but on the other, they could just unify the titles and go from there. In the end, both ideas are very intriguing to think about and offer up some pretty groundbreaking possibilities.

#3. Crowning moment for Lynch

Will Becky Lynch finally get her own moment in the sun?

In all honesty, Becky Lynch has deserved this crowning moment for quite some time now and adding in the possible unification of the women's titles only makes that moment sweeter. Think about it! Becky Lynch standing tall over Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey as the undisputed women's champion.

If nothing else, this moment is the culmination of sustained hard work from Lynch and a great way to solidify her as the company's biggest star for years to come. Beyond that, it will also arguably be the biggest moment in Women's revolution history, which is only going to add to the value of Lynch.

In the end, its finally time for WWE to deliver and have Lynch tap Rousey out to the disarmer in front of the entire WWE Universe. Just picture in your mind how big of a moment that would be for WWE and you can easily tell why making her the undisputed champion makes it all the better.

#2. Ronda Rousey leaving

Will Ronda Rousey leave WWE?

If the rumors are true and Ronda Rousey is indeed leaving WWE after WrestleMania 35, then the company will be left without their biggest star and will be forced to make some very difficult decisions. Unfortunately for WWE, one of those decisions is could be to merge the two women's division into one.

Not only does that allow for stars from both shows to finally fight for the same prize again, but it also makes it easy where the company doesn't have to manage two women's title pictures at the same time. Of course, that doesn't mean WWE will only have one female storyline ruling both shows, especially with the tag team titles now on the scene, but the company won't have to deal with two major female champions at the same time.

If nothing else, they have proven ineffective in doing so and with The Fox deal closing in, it's time to make some changes that will work capitalize on their strengths. With that being said, and Rousey likely leaving the company after Mania, the company needs to find a way to keep the momentum going, which is why fusing the divisions together seems like a great idea!

#1. Fox Deal on the horizon

Is Vince McMahon's deal with FOX Sports playing a role in all this?

Another thing that the WWE Universe needs to be honest about is the fact that Fox Sports didn't pay all that money, 205 million dollars yearly for five years to be exact, just to get access to half of the roster. With that in mind and the company already starting to bend the rules on brand exclusivity, it looks like unifying the title is a way to have the women on both shows.

While doing so will definitely present its own challenges, including how the women are going to sometimes work double and triple duty, it is at least a way for Fox sports to get access to whoever they want and will also help make each show just a little bit more exciting. If nothing else, it creates a chaotic situation and opens up tons of possibilities for the title picture.

In the end, that's what WWE needs to continue to do in order to keep the women's division fresh, entertaining and keep it in the spirit of the original women's revolution. It's also what they must do if they want to impress their new network and eventually extend their deal on major network television past five years.
