Losers: Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair

This rivalry is seriously getting overexposed. Now all of a sudden, Ronda Rousey feels like the most interesting part of it, and Becky Lynch is simply rattling off her "greatest hits" collection. Her momentum has certainly cooled since the Royal Rumble with the convoluted booking this angle has taken.

There was no reason for this promo to happen. It simply took time from the blue brand's own WrestleMania buildup. Both of these women should have been on Raw to respond to Ronda Rousey.


Winner: Kofi Kingston

Kofi Kingston is rapidly overtaking Becky Lynch as the hottest act in the company, and Vince McMahon poured fuel on the fire last night when he announced that Kofi Kingston would take part in another gauntlet match. If he could defeat Randy Orton, Samoa Joe, The Bar, and Rowan next week, he would get his WWE title shot at WrestleMania.

In other words, Kofi Kingston is going to get his shot, and he's going to partake in a probable match of the year contender to do it, heating him up at just the right time.

For Kingston, this rise has been astounding, and unlike what happened with Seth Rollins last year, WWE looks like it might just pull the trigger at the right time.

See you next week!
