Bianca Belair vs. Charlotte Flair for the RAW Women's Championship at WWE WrestleMania 37: 5 steps to make that happen

In 2020, WWE has been experiencing many hurdles that has decreased overall fan interest. As shown by the ratings, the COVID-19 pandemic — which has caused a live audience of little to none — has sucked up the energy of the product like a vacuum. In addition, the decline of ratings and live audience restriction has not given a fair presentation for WWE Champion Drew McIntyre and Universal Champion Braun Strowman, which has ultimately caused their reigns to lose some shine.

As the hope for crowds to return by the end of the year, the emphasis should be to develop a new echelon of top stars to prevent having to go to the well for old names. At WrestleMania, Brock Lesnar and Goldberg were used in hopes to provide torch-passing moments. However, the arena was empty, and the purpose of creating the stars of the future was severely thwarted.

Currently at the second half of 2020, WWE has another opportunity to build a new set of stars. For the RAW Women's Championship, Asuka has experienced a resurgence of her character by winning the Money in the Bank match, which she subsequently traded in as Becky Lynch was forced to relinquish due to being pregnant. While Asuka is justly receiving a title push, WWE is in dire need of developing new "larger than life" stars for the future.

Bianca Belair is a ready-made talent who checks every box of the checklist — talent, athleticism, charisma, and promo skills. As a result, she should undoubtedly be the face of the women's division, receiving a sizable push to elevate her character inside of being underutilized currently on television. Similar to the booking of WrestleMania 36, a legendary or typically protected name should be used to pass the torch to Belair. This person should be Charlotte Flair.

Here are five steps to lead to a Bianca Belair vs. Charlotte Flair match for the RAW Women's Championship at WWE WrestleMania 37.

---

#1 Asuka defeats Shayna Baszler at WWE Survivor Series

With Shayna Baszler returning to WWE television, she can be a dominant heel to make Asuka look good. For the foreseeable future, Baszler should dominate talent to continue building heat for her character. Currently, Asuka is feuding with Sasha Banks, and the two competed at Extreme Rules against each other for the Raw Women's Championship. The end of the match saw Banks "winning" the title after Bayley took the referee shirt off of the official and administered the three count instead. Moreover, this was following Banks hitting Asuka with the Women's tag team title.

Both Banks and Asuka are set to settle it out next week on RAW for the title.

As a result of the potential storyline brewing between Banks and Bayley, there is no need for Banks to win the title after the controversial finish at Extreme Rules. If she does, it should only be for a few weeks, with Asuka regaining the championship before WWE SummerSlam. This week on RAW we also saw Shayna Baszler have an interest in the feud between the Golden Role Models and The Kabuki Warriors.

Come Survivor Series, Asuka and Baszler should have enough momentum from their respective pushes to make a match between the two must-see. Asuka should win this match, continuing her push as a babyface.

#2 Charlotte Flair returns to WWE RAW after December pay-per-view; wins No.1 contender match

Charlotte Flair has been away from WWE television for a month, after being defeated by Asuka during their Raw Women's Championship match. During this show, she was attacked by Nia Jax, and written off TV due to The Irresistible Force attacking Flair's arm. Realistically, Flair revealed that she is taking time off from TV to addressing cosmetic issues.

Flair stated that she became sick after her 2018 WrestleMania victory. Although it was one of the worse cases the doctor has ever seen, Charlotte picked the option to allow her to continue competing.

Charlotte stated that a few months ago, she had to go back to the doctor because something was feeling off. Now, she has decided to choose the option that has a more long-term benefit, and she will be back when she is ready.

To go along with the rumors of Charlotte returning around the Royal Rumble, a return in December would be ideal. A 15-woman Battle Royal for the No.1 contender's spot at the Royal Rumble would be scheduled for the Raw after the December pay-per-view. Charlotte would be the last person introduced in the battle royal, and gain the expected return pop by eliminating Jax to set up the title match at the WWE Royal Rumble.

#3 Charlotte Flair defeats Asuka at the WWE Royal Rumble

At the Royal Rumble, Charlotte Flair defeats Asuka. To protect Asuka's character, Shayna Baszler would assist in the match while the referee is distracted in order for Charlotte to win. This would set the stage for Charlotte's WWE WrestleMania match. At this time, Charlotte still may need to get more heat in order for her to receive more jeers leading to WrestleMania.

This could actually occur at the WWE Royal Rumble. While Baszler is attacking Asuka following their match, Flair could push off Baszler, creating the illusion that she is going to help Asuka. However, Flair attacks Asuka with Baszler, turning into an even more menacing heel. This would allow Charlotte to elicit the necessary heat needed to make a babyface shine even brighter during a feud with her. Asuka could try to gain retribution by approaching Charlotte, but Baszler would step in the way, leaving Asuka no other choice but to focus solely on Baszler.

This would happen on RAW after the Royal Rumble. While Charlotte is cutting a heel promo, Asuka comes out furious and storming to the ring, ready to take out Charlotte, but she gets blindsided by Baszler. Baszler would attack Asuka, doing the arm stomp move, which would sideline her for a number of weeks. When Asuka returns, she is now solely focused on Baszler, which would lead to a match at WWE WrestleMania.

#4 Bianca Belair wins WWE Royal Rumble match

Bianca Belair undoubtedly checks all the boxes of a star in WWE. The entrance music, the charisma, the promo, and the athleticism certainly gives Belair that "It" factor that WWE should capitalize on. While in NXT, Belair was a featured competitor, which actually gave her an NXT Women's Championship match at NXT TakeOver: Phoenix during Royal Rumble weekend in 2019, and a very impressive showing in the 2020 Royal Rumble match. In fact, Belair set a Royal Rumble elimination record, ousting eight women.

2021 should be an opportunity to trump her past Royal rumble achievements achievements by winning the match altogether. WWE needs to capitalize on the popularity of Belair by placing the proverbial rocket on her back and not holding back on a babyface push for her.

To further gain babyface momentum, Belair should be between the 10th to 15th entrant, which would keep her fresh, but still allow her to stay in the match for enough time to build steam and get supported by the fans.

Ideally, defying the odds by defeating a monster heel such as Nia Jax in the end would further help her. This would also make her win not as predictable, since Jax would have some unfinished business with Flair as well, and this could be emphasized on commentary to make Belair look more like an underdog.

#5 Bianca Belair challenges Charlotte Flair at Fastlane for their match at WWE WrestleMania 37

To further hype Belair's Royal Rumble win, The EST Of WWE should compete on all three brands stating that this will help her decide which champion she will pick.

On RAW, there should be a Fatal-four way match to determine the No.1 contender for Charlotte's RAW Women's Championship. The participants should be Asuka, Shayna Baszler, Liv Morgan, and Nia Jax. Asuka and Baszler will eliminate each other early in the the match, leaving both eliminated due to a double countout.

Morgan and Jax is left, and the former initially is dominated by Jax. However, Morgan gains momentum, and comes close to pinning Jax. Suddenly, Charlotte appears, attacking both of them, thinking that she would have the night off at Fastlane. However, instead, it becomes a triple threat match for the title between Charlotte, Jax, and Morgan.

At Fastlane, Charlotte wins the Triple Threat match. As she is celebrating, Bianca Belair's music plays, and she comes out to a very positive ovation. Belair grabs a mic, challenges Charlotte for a match at WWE WrestleMania, and the stage is officially set.
