The Triple Threat Match we have wanted

We are less than a month away from WWE’s biggest PPV of the year: WrestleMania 35. The card for the show is shaping up to be a really solid one. And in the center of it all isn’t a match for the Universal Championship or a match we assume to be The Undertaker’s retirement match. The highlight in the build-up to WrestleMania 35 has been: Ronda Rousey (c) vs. Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair for the RAW’s Women’s Championship.

We have already seen WWE do everything possible to make Becky Lynch, Charlotte and Rousey’s Road to WrestleMania an unforgettable ride. In fact, there have been stories about WWE writing and rewriting this feud every week. Here, we present you with 5 more things WWE should in this possible ‘Main-Event’ of WrestleMania 35.

#5 Let Charlotte flair destroy Ronda Rousey

This would be great to watch, If nothing else.

If you’ve paid attention to WWE Programming or have seen/read a single report about the RAW Women’s Championship feud, you’d already know that Charlotte Flair is the clear third wheel in this main-event feud. It’s almost apparent that Charlotte Flair is there to tap-out on April 7, whether it’s to the Disarm-her or the Arm-bar.

While Rousey and Lynch have been wild and hungry, Charlotte has played the tamed tigress. WWE has almost overworked this story, yet there hasn’t been much for Charlotte, who is definitely one of WWE’s best women’s performers ever. Now, that should change on the Road to WrestleMania 35, irrespective of the end result.

Fans need to believe that The Queen can realistically win the Championship at WrestleMania. And, what better way than to let her dismantle the ‘Baddest Woman on the Planet.’ Not only will a crazy beat-down establish Charlotte as a real threat to the title, but also give this story another layer.

The way Charlotte and Becky Lynch’s match ended at Fastlane, and all the things Rousey has been saying off-late, even a heel Charlotte has enough reasons to make a statement.

#4 Make Ronda Rousey feel more vulnerable

WWE fans need some more of these images.

While Charlotte Flair needs to punish, Ronda Rousey needs some real punishment ahead of the Show of Shows. Yes, we have seen Rousey been bruised and beaten. Yes, we have seen her accept punishment at the hands of both Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair. But, the two epic beat-downs of Rousey happened before and at Survivor Series in 2018.

Not only did the beatings leave a lasting impression, but also made for some entertaining television.

WWE likes to present some of its performers as badass and untouchable, but this feud and the WrestleMania match doesn’t need to have Rousey as the undefeated monster, rather a wounded fighter. Again, Charlotte decimating her serves a dual purpose. This feud becomes more compelling with a slightly ‘broken’ Ronda Rousey, rather than an untouchable UFC fighter, cum ‘no-kayfabe’ Professional Wrestler.

#3 Get rid of Becky Lynch’s crutches

Regardless, this was awesome.
Regardless, this was awesome.

When was the last time Becky Lynch was 100% fit? We know she was fine before injuring her leg at the Royal Rumble. While she has continued to grow and ascend to the top, we remember she was on the kickoff show last year to a possible main-event slot at WrestleMania this year, her story has also descended from a broken nose to an injured leg. It feels like her entire story has been sandwiched between the two occurrences.

While much of what Rousey tweets are perplexing, one of her tweets, still perplexing, was funny. She said, “That’s what I’m trying to do dumb***. You hobbling around trying to be a ginger crutch ninja and taking fake prison photos in the hallway isn’t helping."

A 'crutch ninja!'

Dear WWE, please let Becky Lynch walk without the crutches. We have seen her walk, and know she's fine.

#2 Let Rousey break character on TV

"Hey Vince McMahon, I'm about to drop a pipebomb."

A moment of silence for all of us as Ronda Rousey called Pro-Wrestling ‘fake’ and ‘made up.’ She said she will ‘disrespect the wrestling business’ that all of us love. Well, to clear the air, she has been a WWE fan since childhood. In fact, she had previously said that she had dreamt to wrestle in a WWE ring.

Though some of us, WWE fans, hate the idea of WWE moving forward with the story of Rousey over the pro wrestling business, it has definitely set the internet on fire. And, that’s exactly why WWE should let Rousey break character on TV.

It’s an interesting prospect to have Rousey lose her cool on live television, getting real with ‘Rebecca Quinn.’ Though their tweet feud has often been on the lines of annoyance, all of this is the perfect material for the Soap-Opera that WWE presents... and we enjoy (Oops!). The bird is already out of the hat, this is just a case of WWE letting it fly.

#1 Advertise Becky Lynch vs. Ronda Rousey vs. Charlotte Flair as the closing match

Women main-eventing WrestleMania had been a dream a year before; one that we felt could come true in the next decade. Then, Ronda Rousey came to WWE, and Becky Lynch became ‘The Man’. These women have made the RAW Women’s Championship the hottest prize in WWE at the moment. Now, all WWE needs is to run with the torch.

Not only should this RAW Women’s Championship match headline the ‘Show of Shows,’ but Vince McMahon should go a step further and advertise the same in advance. There’s no doubt that Lynch, Charlotte, and Rousey will deliver a match for the ages on April 7. WWE should build this as the ‘First-time-ever’ event it is.

Though, in the wake of the Women’s Revolution, WWE has overplayed ‘historic moment’ songs, mostly to pat its own back. However, this is one thing that they should truly celebrate, so it's loud and clear to everyone that the winds in the WWE have truly changed.
