WWE Universe might have seen a ghost on this week’s Raw when Charlotte Flair came out. Vince McMahon handpicked her to become the number one contender for the women’s championship. She will face Ronda Rousey for the title at the main event of Wrestlemania 35. This is happening despite we have a Royal Rumble winner.
Original plans with Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey
Becky Lynch won the 30-woman battle royal match on January 27th to earn the rights to compete in a title match. She already picked Ronda Rousey following that night making the women’s title match official. But the McMahon family robbed her of the championship opportunity with the help of an injury issue.
Predictions for Elimination Chamber 2019
They wanted Becky Lynch to go through a medical procedure to check up her knees. She was not willing to do that and instead attacked Stephanie McMahon. This earned her a 60-day suspension from Vince McMahon. It will span up to Wrestlemania 35 barring her to appear on the biggest event of them all.
This is why Charlotte Flair entered the scene all of a sudden becoming the most hated wrestler, at this time. Some might feel it was a sudden idea from the creative team to garner more sympathy towards Becky Lynch. This would also cement the villainous turn of Charlotte, too. Apparently, it was a long term plan sketched by the creative team.
Reports from cagesideseats.com suggested that WWE always had this plan reserved for Becky Lynch. It did not happen overnight owing to the recent actions of the internet wrestling community. McMahon always wanted to book this match in this way so that everybody starts talking about this. Only then it could shape up to be the main event match on April 7th.
Becky Lynch is the most over superstar in the pro-wrestling circuit. So there’s no way that WWE will keep her away from appearing at Wrestlemania 35. The sudden removal from her match against Ronda Rousey happened on a kayfabe way to continue the storyline. Eventually, The Man will end up getting the opportunity she deserves.
The popular belief is that Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair will compete in another match in due course. The Wrestlemania championship match will be on the line. The 2019 Royal Rumble winner will have to defeat The Queen once again in order to insert herself into Wrestlemania. There’s a chance that the match might get converted into a triple threat, as well.
