God I hope they don't add Charlotte to Becky and Ronda.

Beer wrote:God I hope they don't add Charlotte to Becky and Ronda.

They probably will and have some logical reasons to do so, but I agree, I'd rather see a one-on-one. Ronda vs the last of the 4 Horsewomen.

With Sasha doing the Four Horsewomen thing to Ronda after the Rumble, I'm hoping that alongside Becky v Ronda we get Charlotte v Shayna Baszler and Sasha/Bayley v the other two at Mania.

The Lynch/Rousey segment was the first piece of Raw I’ve watched in over a year that didn’t involve Alexa Bliss in a towel or someone getting their face broken so they’re moving in the right direction

I genuinely enjoyed that Raw. Weird to say. All the stories work for me and the transitions between them felt smoother too.

Weirdly into whatever Mojo is on

That would be brilliant. Would absolutely hook people in, and generate huge buzz, Vince will absolutely not do that. Instead, we'll get Charlotte v Nikki Bella with the fallout live and exclusive on Total Divas.

I also find it amusing that Nia finally gets her punishment for breaking Becky's face, by taking finishers from the men, and then buries Ambrose.

Care so little for Mojo it's ridiculous. What's that you say? His best mate is in the Superbowl? Free marketing? Makes sense to me.

I don’t care about Mojo, but I did like the segment. It was different and more layered for a single character than anything they usually do. Probably more interesting than Dean’s turn - I’d have loved that kind of thing from Ambrose.

I’d be well into a four horsewoman feud. They’d need to integrate Charlotte back into the “goodies” quickly, but there’s huge potential there. I’d bet we’re more likely to have Bayley, Sasha etc come storming out during the match to save Becky from outside interference.

With rumours though, I’d bet it would be a good way to keep Ronda happy. A post Mania, full on FHW vs FHW feud would keep the division on fire

Easy to get Charlotte on board with the booking. Problem is, you need Becky to be the leader. Becky/Ronda, Charlotte/Shayna etc.

They could do a mini invasion angle.

As for Rousey, i've not read any rumours about her being unhappy. She has a multi-year deal, it's also well documented she wants to have a kid.

All this comes down to how much Vince wants Charlotte vs. Ronda. Becky got over organically, and as we've seen with Braun, they are completely capable of ballsing this up.

I saw the theory that the end of Mania could be Charlotte as SD Champ, Becky as Raw Champ, Sasha and Bayley as Tag Champs, then sets up the 4 v 4 throughout the summer.

Becky is also very different to Braun. Far less limited

Also, there were Ronda rumours about wanting to wind down after Mania. Can’t be bothered to look for the full link, so:

January 24, 2019—Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (h/t Wrestling Inc) reported Ronda Rousey was on her way out of WWE, as she looked to transition out of her full-time role in favor of starting a family. Though noncommittal, Rousey was dismissive of these reports, and even TMZ Sports noted she would still remain with WWE in some capacity even if she planned to wind down after WrestleMania.
