If they toss Bianca aside just to do this, I don’t want to hear the “let it play out” excuse again. Many complained about them going the Becky-Bianca route for the Mania main event, and now they might be pivoting to a fresher marquee matchup in Becky-Rousey. Could always have Bianca end up challenging Charlotte too if they wanted to switch it up.

It is funny how many dangling threads WWE have loose that they are gonna potentially toss aside for Ronda. If she goes after Becky well the last few months of Becky and Bianca end up being a complete f***ing waste of time. If she goes after Charlotte well Alexa's entire return arc has been one giant waste of time Someone is getting cut at the knees sadly.

Becky vs. Ronda is not “fresh.” Also what a slap in the face to your full time women to bring Ronda back and IMMEDIATELY put her in the top spot again.

Top spots go to the top stars, usually. If Lesnar and Rousey happen to be those top stars, they’re going to be in the main event. Ronda also worked fairly regularly when she was in the company, she wasn’t a typical part-timer. And Becky vs. Ronda is definitely fresh. They never faced one on one and the one triple threat they had was 3 years ago.

The claim Heyman was mentoring Ronda through her bizarre worked shoot millennial bashing "Maybe I'll go against the script" nonsense honestly should've been the line crossing moment of "Oh okay maybe Heyman just totally sucks now"

Yeah her MMA has been over for years and ended on a whimper. And she hasn’t been a major force in pop culture for quite awhile.
This ain’t like The Rock or Brock coming back. No need to sacrifice new stars you should be building for the future.

Ronda hasnt been a top star in any sort of media for a long time. In wrestling, 3 years ago.

Ronda also worked fairly regularly when she was in the company, she wasn’t a typical part-timer. And Becky vs. Ronda is definitely fresh. They never faced one on one and the one triple threat they had was 3 years ago. Agreed. Rousey may not be as big as she used to be, but she is still a name, & was treated & pushed as a star during her last run. Ronda had a very strong first year with the company, & at a time where they've lost a lot of audience goodwill (for many reasons), having a well-known name make a big return in the run up to their annual megashow may get some to tune back in. Ultimately it sucks for the person who misses out of having their story arc completed (whether that's Baszler or Ripley), but with two women's titles, at least one of them should get the payoff. And yes, Rousey vs Lynch is fresh, as they never did square off one-on-one. To me, the positives of this vastly outweigh the negatives.

Keep telling fans how much less important your new people are and then wonder why they don’t care as much. It’s long term damage for no good reason. Sooner or later, you need to bite the bullet and stop relying on nostalgia pops.

The only people who wanna see Becky/Ronda at WM are Ronda stans who had no problem with her dominating everyone and Becky stans who somehow still don't see an issue with her booking and want her to beat Ronda in a 1v1 match. If they toss Bianca aside just to do this, I don’t want to hear the “let it play out” excuse again. Not even the people who usually say "let it play out" was saying that about Bianca. 99% of the people on this forum have been against how she's been booked.

Well, either that's just Becky trolling or it's a bit of a giveaway that she's coming back. Guess we'll see soon enough.

This is the only way a womens match should mainevent a night if Wrestlemania atm. If Becky/Bianca happens I think that would/should main event night 1. The story is 8 months in the making and Bianca finally getting payback seems like a bigger way to end the show than whatever the non-Roman/Brock title match is probably going to be (Rollins/Lashley?). I think there's a smaller but not-zero chance of Charlotte/Sasha main eventing night 1 if they want to finally give Sasha a big Wrestlemania win and make it a big deal.

Ronda had an excellent debut year, but I'd gladly never see her wrestle again. I have no idea how both of those things can be true, but they are.
