Hogan literally pulling the "I'm not racist, brother! My co-host is a black man!" Ultimate Warrior and Santa Claus would have been less problematic. Macho Man, and Stephanie would have been less problematic.

Even with it being four years since their last real match the idea of Zayn / Owens is setting off major, "No... Not again... Never again..." alarms for me.

Interesting little note is that Charlotte was removed from the latest round of advertising for Wrestlemania. Whether that means she is just going to be added in later or something is going on, I have no idea.

That would be awesome.

And at least there's the variation of it being babyface Owens v heel Zayn, which hasn't happened at any point in WWE, I believe.

And they really haven't interacted much over the years They got an established relationship so a match at Mania isn't bad and both guys been working hard and no doubt this would be a check off their bucket list

No real coincidence she goes MIA when Andrade ask for his release Add on her getting her own show, I can see her outside of WWE at some point. Let Rhea beat Asuka

Let Rhea beat Asuka Rhea being advertised for Raw Monday. Yea you have a quick replacement if anything I think either way all roads were leading to Rhea anyway but now Asuka should drop the belt to her and you have a new star tho with a still bad division

Honestly I dunno how I feel about Asuka losing at Wrestlemania again if so. It feels like this will be her last major one, and she has never won at the event itself, and she really does deserve a win considering she carried this godforsaken company through the pandemic and has not been given the spotlight she deserves.

Have her beat Rhea after Rhea passes out in the Asuka lock, next night Rhea says she never gave up....heel interrupts setting up Rhea vs. Peyton, Rhea wins a couple more matches, next PPV Rhea vs. Asuka will a flukie finish with Asuka winning. Rhea destroys her next night on RAW. You could have her destroy Asuka on RAW after Mania, but I'd build it more to go through SummerSlam.

Becky will be back eventually. Shayna and Nia probably wonβt last much longer as a team, so then thereβs two more legitimate, credible singles stars for the division. And we really donβt know if Charlotte is on the way out, itβs all speculation based on a poster.

Hell of a helluva kick though - Owens sold that like a champ.
As for the Asuka/Rhea problem - at this point you might almost tag them together for the tag belt win but foreshadow a future match. After all Asukas been feuding with Shayna for 4 months now...

Asuka vs. Shayna would be a logical step title match wise due to their feud. As for Rhea, well a triple threat between her, Asuka and Shayna could be crazy fun. Or a one-on-one between her and Asuka.

I'm kind of suspecting they're just going to do Asuka / Nia / Shayna while Rhea wins a battle royal that mostly consists of NXT people.

I'm wondering how on earth they didn't realize the optics of this. It'd genuinely not look as bad just having Hogan solo as doing it this way, you're just drawing attention to it. Optics is the first word that came to mind when I saw this announcement. I genuinely think people in charge believe thisβll help Hogans image.
