3) Charlotte Flair Wins The NXT Women’s Championship
WWE has officially confirmed that Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley will be facing off at Wrestlemania 36. This will be for the NXT Women’s Title and will be the first time that an NXT belt has been defended at Wrestlemania. I am definitely excited about this match and it should be really good.
I am a fan of Charlotte but I don’t think that she needs to beat Rhea here to win the NXT Women’s Championship. Rhea has much more to gain with a win here than Charlotte. Rhea would get the obvious rub of winning a match against a top star like Charlotte. It would also put over that the NXT Women’s division is just as strong as what we are seeing on RAW and Smackdown. That could help push some of the casual fans to start checking out NXT on a weekly basis.
Plus, winning the NXT Women’s Championship would move Charlotte back to NXT on a full-time basis. WWE needs her star power on either RAW or Smackdown, so it doesn’t make sense to me to move her back to NXT.
I think that it would be a mistake for Charlotte to beat Rhea at Wrestlemania 36.
2) WWE Rushes The Break-Up Storyline Between Bayley And Sasha Banks
Bayley will be defending her Smackdown Women’s Championship at Wrestlemania 36 in an elimination match. She will be putting her belt on the line against Naomi, Tamina, Lacey Evans, and Sasha Banks.
A popular theory from fans is that Sasha Banks will turn on Bayley and walk out with the Smackdown Women’s Title. I disagree with this idea and I want to explain why.
I think that the upcoming feud and storyline between Sasha Banks and Bayley has a chance to be really good. Their friendship unraveling could be a strong storyline that WWE can tell for several months on Smackdown. If Sasha wins the Title at Wrestlemania, it will feel rushed to me, just to give Sasha a win at Wrestlemania. Instead, I would have tension teased between Bayley and Sasha during the match. Then, I would slowly tell the story of their friendship unraveling over the next several months. This story would cumulate with babyface Sasha winning the belt in her hometown of Boston for Summerslam.
I think that this storyline has potential and it would be a mistake for WWE to rush it.
