Triple Threats are no DQ, right?
So at the start of the match, just have Becky beat the shit out of Charlotte with a chair for about 5 minutes straight, then proceed with the match everyone wanted in the first place. Problem solved.

But she isn’t. I know we don’t know the true conclusion to the match, but it ain’t gonna be Charlotte winning lmao That’s my prediction for now. We will see where Ric Flair being on Raw takes us. Anyone else looking forward to seeing an old man get his arm broken by an angry Irishwoman as much as I am in two weeks?

Anyone else looking forward to seeing an old man get his arm broken by an angry Irishwoman as much as I am in two weeks? Hopefully it’d be Vince, because Ric hasn’t done anything wrong yet (and don’t give me “But, but Royal Rumble 2016”... if it was that pressing an issue she would have tried for revenge IN 2016, not 2019).

9 pages in just over an hour. It used to be, to get this active a thread about a woman, we had to compare her lady parts to fast food. Progress.

I imagine the birthday segment will have Ric really heeling it up with Charlotte so that Becky doesn’t come across as a jerkass when she goes after Ric.

To me it's more annoying that they had Becky apologize to the Authority than it was to add Charlotte to the match.

I actually think Ric is going to rip into Charlotte and goad her into putting her shot on the line at Fastlane against Becky. Then Becky beats Charlotte and it’s back to one on one with Becky and Ronda.

I legit don't see how he's trying to ruin or derail this thread at all when he is posing to you the question you don't seem to want to answer about this entire ordeal. You seem to be the one taking it personally here. You could answer him instead of jabbing back like "You're ruining my thread, take it to PMs", when he hasn't even been the only one to pose it to you or try and clarify his stance. That being said if you don't wanna talk about it anymore, fair enough, but this seems like the wrong stance to take when people are posing pretty civil discussion with you. I don't see what he's doing as insulting at all. Me and dude are speaking in PM about it like adults do. Stop this. Adults can be civil and discuss matters in your thread as well, which is what I've been seeing. I don't know what the issue is, but fine, I'll drop it. Glad you two worked it out.

Charlotte is awesome, I will say that. Even if a large portion of her act is cosplaying her dad, she's clearly one of the best women in the business today and a fantastic performer. She's also been Becky's bitch for the past six months.
That said, in Ronda and Becky you have two women who have spent the year dominating their respective rosters. They are clearly the tippy top with one being a crossover star and the other being arguably the most over performer in the company (for several months now). I was not thrilled when Ronda was announced for the WWE but I will admit that she has delivered on all of her matches. Becky has been on fire putting on fantastic matches even with people not named Charlotte. On paper this should be a big enough match on it's own. We can argue until the cows come home about this story or that story but we have two people at the top of their game, at the top of their rosters. I 100% believe this feud sells itself, especially with the slow burn they've had since Survivor Series.
Maybe they do believe Ronda is shook but the fact is, this woman has been delivering first in UFC and now in WWE. She's got two months to get her head on straight. This should be one on one.

I actually liked the way they did that, basically having her admit with her previous actions she didn't really have a leg to stand on (which she didn't) and backing off there while at the same time making it abundantly clear that she was still wary of them and would get swift revenge if they still wound up screwing with her. Which they did, so so long as from here she sets out to make Vince's life total hell like she said, I'm fine with the way they did it.

Yeah, they're effectively elevating Charlotte into a new level with this. So much heat. The more heat she gets the bigger cheers Becky will get but on the flip side the higher chance that mega-heel Charlotte beats Asuka for the SDL title post-WM. The more I see from this the more I think Asuka's days as champion probably ends at that first post-WM ppv. Charlotte's just on a higher level so she's probably going to flatten her. It's similar to the Styles/Ambrose thing. I'm seeing people like Naomi, Nia, EC3 and others join in on Charlotte trolling the fans too. Kind of interesting.

Having Becky have to go through a whole bunch of obstacles to get her match with Ronda? Good. That would be good storytelling, and a smart way of filling the time between now and Wrestlemania.
Throwing Charlotte into the main event so that Becky has to "overcome the odds" all in one match, while the McMahons gather around the ring to scheme and plot? Terrible. I really like Charlotte's new gloating, smug, bordering on crazy heel character. It really works for her, and makes her far more interesting than any other version of her has. But she does not need to be in this match.
Two weeks ago on Raw, Becky and Ronda made this match look like a big deal. A main event in waiting, between two badass women who take no shit and can't wait to fight each other. Two weeks later, we've got McMahon-oriented nonsense, a probable triple threat and talk of "joint main event".
They have time to save this, by making Becky beat Charlotte at Fastlane, for the right to face Ronda one on one. I don't think they'll do it, but they should.

I gotta say, Charlotte's shift back to being a heel during Beckypalooza has been exceptionally well done. Rarely (like never) do alignment changes feel as nuanced and organic as this has.

A couple of weeks ago, Becky and Ronda had me wishing Wrestlemania the next day. Now, by inserting Charlotte and the McMahons into the equation, they've taken a match that I was personally looking forward to since last November and making it something I really don't care to see. Plain and simple, the McMahons didn't need to be involved in this at all. In fact, they didn't have to do much at all to sell this match. It was already a match the fans wanted to see. And I've always enjoyed Charlotte's in-ring work. And her work as a character has been great recently. But, Becky and Ronda earned a one-on-one match at Wrestlemania. While Charlotte deserves a featured bout too, this isn't the answer. I'm so tired of seeing the McMahons on my TV screen and them not listening to fans. For me, until things really change, I think I'm done watching this company and giving it any of my time and money.

Our viewing party went from 8 people to 4 people last year.
No ones willing to host this year. Most people are out because of the spotlight on the women, I tried to convince them that Rousey vs Becky is cool...but I am not a miracle worker. No one can sell the McMahons in 2019.
Charlotte being in the match is actually deserving, but not the right choice. I understand that Vince isnt confident enough in letting those two go out last (but Roman with Taker was alright lol) but I think there is another problem
Vine thinks he found a compromise between his flair vs rousey and their becky vs rousey. The problem here you senile idiot is that it shouldnt be a compromise, you are a promoter.

According to Fightful's review of Raw, Sean Ross Sapp said he was told this week that Rousey is really leaving after WM and best case scenario is that they're expecting her back at Survivor Series and that's if she doesn't start a family. With that said, what they don't want is half of their first women's WM main event gone the day after or immediately following the match.

As I’m 99% convinced Lynch is going to close Mania 35 as Raw Women’s Champ, I don’t see this as that big a deal. Charlotte is a good worker and she’s great in triple threat matches. No complaints on my end.

I dont see Charlotte winning as she likely needs to go full mad woman after Mania, and Ronda is really just a third wheel in all this aside from being champion. (which is insane.)

This is going to be fun as hell to keep track of haha. Might have to make a Charlotte is roasting people on twitter thread next. I love it.
