WWE has officially announced that Ronda Rousey, Becky Lynch, and Charlotte Flair will be main eventing this year's WrestleMania, which is a huge step forward in the Women's Evolution and perhaps the most inevitable announcement in WWE history.
It has become a well-known observation that WWE is doing everything that can to push forward the women in the company right now since Rousey has brought in a new breed of fans and the women can finally be taken seriously.
This is a huge step forward for the women of WWE after the years of bra and panties matches, evening gown competitions and women who were signed as playboy models, but at the same time there are a few drawbacks to this plan since the company will need to continue to push forward after this and it's easily the biggest thing that the women have been rewarded.
#5. What's next?
Over the past few years, WWE has realized that the WWE Universe has gotten behind the Women's Division which is why they have been happy to push forward the Evolution as much as they possibly can. This has included the first ever Women's Royal Rumble match, Hell in a Cell match, Ironwoman match, Elimination Chamber match, solo pay-per-view and even the Women's Tag Team Championships being unveiled next month.
The WrestleMania main event was the one thing that always alluded the women of WWE and now that they have finally checked that off the list, the big question is "What's next?" WWE has found it hard to continue to push the Women's Evolution year by year as seen by this year's Royal Rumble when Lynch's win was rendered pointless by the WWE Chairman merely weeks after it was confirmed.
Does this mean that the women will never be able to main event again or that every year WWE will now push a male and female main event even if the match itself isn't up to grade for the show?
#4. Is this only happening because of Ronda Rousey?
The women of WWE were doing just fine before Ronda Rousey appeared and decided to "carry" the Women's Division forward since she only debuted following the first ever Women's Royal Rumble and has never actually stepped foot inside the Elimination Chamber.
Rousey has taken a lot of credit for the fact that the women are now at the main event level of the company, but in actual fact, she hasn't done very much to put them there. Rousey's name has been the only thing that has helped the women to move forward and be given this opportunity and the worrying thing now is that Rousey is set to walk away following this WrestleMania main event, so where does that leave the Women's Division?
Rousey has only been in WWE for just over a year, whilst the Evolution began back in NXT in 2014, but still, it appears that the company itself holds the current Raw Women's Champion solely responsible.
#3. Is it too soon?
It's a valid question, are the women ready to step up on the Grandest Stage Of Them All especially after the way the feud between Ronda Rousey, Becky Lynch, and Charlotte Flair has been received in recent weeks.
Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns found out first-hand last year in the WrestleMania main event exactly what happens when the WWE Universe is not a fan of what is happening in the ring and after the things that Ronda Rousey has said about WWE over the past few weeks, it's hard to believe that the fans would be happy with her retaining the Championship.
Of course, Ronda Rousey does look set to lose the Championship in the WrestleMania main event but given the hate that the WWE Universe has for the former UFC Champion at present, it's hard to believe that she won't be booed out of the building.
#2. What about the women who aren't included?
Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch have been two of the women pushing forward the Evolution over the past few years, so it's only right that they are given an opportunity of this caliber. The issue is, that there are women like Sasha Banks, Bayley, Dana Brooke, Alexa Bliss, and even Natalya in the locker room who have been trying to push this division forward and will not be given this kind of chance.
Rousey might be leaving WWE after WrestleMania, which is when the women who have been pushed to the back of the line will finally be able to step forward and be counted. It's expected then that the popularity for the women's division will drop heading into SummerSlam and then WWE will state that it's because of Ronda Rousey's absence.
Rousey isn't currently being advertised for SummerSlam, so it will be interesting to see how the company is able to maintain this level without her.
#1. The Match Itself Doesn't Make Any Sense
Ronda Rousey is the Women's Champion and Becky Lynch won the Women's Royal Rumble for the opportunity to face Rousey after their match was canceled back at Survivor Series, but the question that many fans have been asking for a number of months now is "why is Charlotte Flair in this match?"
Obviously, we all know that the real reason is that WWE wanted Flair to be part of more history, but inside kayfabe, she's technically a bigger heel than Ronda Rousey since she sucked up to The Authority and was handed a place in the match with minimal effort. She lost the Royal Rumble match to Lynch and lost her match to Ronda Rousey at Survivor Series so there is literally no reason why she should be in this match, but WWE has once again bent the rule to include Charlotte Flair.
