More importantly, who is there for Asuka? Nikki Cross would be cool, because she's getting really over. It'd also be nice to see her vs. Ember again, if they decided to start treating Ember seriously.

I was hoping the Ember would have won the Rumble, because there’s so many ways you can get to Becky/Ronda/Charlotte. It would have given her a well deserved boost AND set up a match for Asuka.

I can see Askua challenging the winner of the Women's Battle Royal at WrestleMania

Charlotte either gets Asuka or she's put into the Ronda/Becky match which makes it a triple threat and it closes the show
Bliss probably tags with Mickie and gets the tag titles or a shot at them

Problems like this is why I liked MITB being at Mania. You get to avoid shoehorning people around by having one big ol' cluster f*** that often stole the show.

Bliss is too over to be left off the card entirely, so my guess Mickie and Bliss are in the tag title thing. Yeah, that or being in(and possibly winning)the Fabulous Moolah Memorial Battle RoyalWrestleMania Women's Battle Royal.

Charlotte will probably win an Elimination Chamber match or something to get inserted into the Ronda/Becky match

I get what you're saying, but it would have backfired on Ember in a big way, not unlike the Sheamus vs Bryan 18 seconds match.

At what point does Lynch become a “company favourite”? She’s been given so much these last few months, yet we still worry about Charlotte and Bliss. I think at this point it's beyond Lynch not being a favorite and on to the issue the men face too; where do you put your top stars? It's almost removed from Becky here, it's just that Becky has a path to Mania now. But the more prominent women they have, the more an issue begins to arise of how they find space for all of them on a big card like Wrestlemania. Do you put your top women into a "scramble everyone onto the card" match just to get them there? It's a complicated issue the women were bound to end up running into in time.

And it’s also something that has exacerbated that same problem for the men, since in the past they could get away with booking the women in one clusterf*** or even not booking them at all. Now that they are actually trying with the women, there’s even less time to fit in even MORE men than they’ve had before.

Alexa Bliss vs. Lacey Evans is the most offensively bad match suggestion for Mania I've seen since 5-6 years ago when Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt was gonna be an amazing dream match. Mania? No. Holdover feud till like Elimination Chamber or Fastlane? I can see that.

It'd be an impossible sell, but WWE is going to have to make Mania a two day event if they want to try and sustain this madness.

Maybe she can even win it.

I am thinking that Charlotte raises hell about Becky getting into the Rumble under iffy circumstances, even if obviously Lana was kayfabe injured during Rusev's match. It's at least enough of a pretense to get the three way going if they so choose, though if they decide to have it be 1 on 1 (I do not think Ronda is reliable enough for that), then they could have Charlotte face Asuka again, which would be fine I guess. As for Alexa, not sure. Maybe that Andre Battle Royal-equivalent the women got that I can't remember the name of. I think Naomi won one?
I liked the logic of it because Charlotte legitimately has grounds to challenge the result, but she's also a total heel for doing so given how hard they presented Becky as a Roman/SuperCena 'overcome all odds' face. My guess is she'll appeal to Stephanie, who has been mysteriously largely absent over the last few weeks. Plus her being added to the match means they have a defined heel, they can pay off the storytelling from Survivor Series and TLC, have someone who can do a great job helping lead the match and making it memorable, and also be someone Becky fans will be paranoid about "stealing" the match somehow.
As for Becky being a "company favourite", if fans can see her being given so much for the last several months (her/Charlotte is at practically Bliss/Bayley levels of one-sidedness at the moment) and have John Cena spend ten minutes putting her over and still not see her as someone WWE is really behind, it truly speaks to the power of perception, and how effectively Becky works smarks.

I hadn't considered that yeah, Charlotte would give a heel dynamic to the match. Well, intentional one, Ronda's totally been the heel of this program even while being a popular face. They could have her heeling it up more leading up to the event, and given Triple Threat matches tend to be no DQ, anyway, have her be the one to introduce a table or something. If the women are going to main event with a woman who has been at it for like just a year, you're probably going to need to empty the toybox and spice the match up a little extra.

Honestly the Sasha / Ronda match was so bad I'm really not even worried about the idea of adding Charlotte anymore, just to prevent something like that from happening again. Different strokes and all, but calling that match "so bad" is....interesting

Nikki's getting damn good crowd reactions, and her Last Woman Standing match with Asuka back in NXT was absolutely amazing

Right, and Becky's two best matches last year (LWS, TLC) were both gimmick matches, so weapons could definitely add to the match and help with some memorable spots. As far as 'heel' goes, I also mean that while Ronda will be treated as a heel by crowds, she doesn't necessarily have to change her ring style to a heel's, so its less of an adjustment of her with not that long til Mania.
