It Yeah this is one of those rare times when the obvious winner is the right one and an overwhelming majority of people want to see it, but they've also somehow done a great job getting people to doubt it.

Meltzer is not that sure today that Becky is winning.

Any result other than a clean Becky win is idiotic

It's the dumbest choice possible No, the dumbest possible choice is for a cross-dressing Brooklyn Brawler to get inserted into the match at the last minute and winning. I would laugh so hard if that happened.

2014 & 2015 Rumbles, Rusev Day split, Roman retiring The Undertaker, Brock vs. Roman again and again, a non-existent midcard on Raw, a non-existent tag division on Raw, the bitchification of Samoa Joe, Braun feuding with SNL writers, squandering of NXT callups, Dean Ambrose: Germaphobe, Shane Mcmahon winning a tournament he wasn't in, Brock's eternal stranglehold on the Universal title.. Yeah, cynicism about the WWE has been cultivated by the WWE. It goes so much farther back than that. That shit all happened after I got tired of watching the WWE do that shit to me non-stop. Becky Lynch has finally piqued my interest enough to start watching segments of her stuff online at least, but I still expect them to go right back to shitting on what actually interests me in their product. Do you have any idea how much you have to piss off someone who watched your product from 1983-2013 to make them finally stop watching? I have no faith left in them.

Do you have any idea how much you have to piss off someone who watched your product from 1983-2013 to make them finally stop watching? I have no faith left in them. Of course. I just listed some of the more egregious things that have happened since I started watching again in 2016; I wasn't watching or following the product much for a few years. I included the two Rumbles because I did go back and watch the endings to them, and it's been well documented that they were total disasters.

Nope. She doesn’t need it. This is Becky’s crowning moment. Kind of like Steve Austin at Mania 14. It’s just too obvious that she’s winning. Charlotte is in there because she can have a great Mania main event worthy match. Ronda is decent but she’s there for her name more than her ability to wrestle well enough to headline Mania. Becky is the most over performer in the company. This is an eight hour show. They need to send the fans home happy after sitting through all of that. It’s also the first time women are headlining Mania. Charlotte is there to make sure it comes off great. Becky must win for this to get over. She has to win for the match to go down in history as one of the greatest Mania moments. Otherwise it’s forgettable and it fails. I can see the argument that since it's the first women's main event it has to be special, however the main events of late have been far from sending the crowd home happy or great matches. Last year was Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar where for once most agreed Reigns should go over and he failed. Roman Reigns vs a broken down Undertaker was the year before that and a real wet fart of a main event. Go back a few more years you had Miz beating John Cena thanks to interference from the Rock (though that match was marred by concussion as well). That's just in this era. Go to some older ones and there are some truly iffy main events. Often it's what makes the biggest spectacle. However, it's bugged me a bit that the women's apparently has to be awesome in the ring and check off a bunch of other things that the men don't have to. Maybe after this one if the women ever main event again it'll be treated like other main events.

There is zero chance Charlotte wins.
Most of the logic supports Lynch: you don't have the first women's main event ever for Wrestlemania and not end it with a feel-good triumph!!
Then there is the very very stupid possibility that they will be very very stupid and try to get buzz by having Rousey "shoot" and demolish her opponents.
But those are the only possibilities. Charlotte isn't on the map.

Maybe after this one if the women ever main event again it'll be treated like other main events. There’s a first time for everything. There was a ton of pressure on he first Mania to succeed. Hogan and Mr. T had to beat Piper and Orndorff in part to make that successful. Mr. T was there for his fame more than anything else. Much like Ronda but Ronda’s clearly had more training. Just saying there are some parallels there. I think the fact that it’s an eight hour show isn’t being considered strongly enough here. That is an extremely long time for so many people to be sitting there watching wrestling. No commentary either. Just watching whatever WWE throws out there for eight hours. I don’t care how good the show could possibly be. That’s too long. I think they want to make sure they send them home happy after all of that. I know that I would.

I've joked about wanting to see Ronda or Charlotte win for the reactions, but for real, Becky not winning tomorrow just might get me to quit watching Raw (since Kofi's on SD and I'm pretty sure she'll be on Raw going forward either way).

The double (possibly triple if Brock retains) whammy of Kofi & Becky losing their matches would get me to quit watching main roster WWE and focus solely on NXT moving forward.

Yeah I've heard reports saying that no one's sure if Becky's winning but it's not due to Charlotte. It's purely due to Ronda. If Ronda says then Becky's not winning yet since Becky's going to "send Ronda off" but if Ronda's leaving then yeah Becky's winning. That's why Becky keeps saying she's going to send Ronda out of the company.
Kind of ironic how Ronda, that new shiny toy last year that everyone loved, ends up being the one element that can give a nightmarish result.

I feel like Ronda should lose even if she isn't leaving. She has to be pinned or submitted at some point and there's still no better time and person for the job. If they want to do Ronda vs. Becky at the next PPV and have Ronda win the title back so be it (though it's not what I'd do).
It's just... they've had Becky talk for months about not just main eventing WrestleMANia but winning and to not have her do those things would just be crushing for her character and her fans.

Lynch is winning.
They did this with Benoit AND Bryan. They LOVE putting the plucky babyface into a triple threat with the two other guys "Everyone" knows WWE wanted to face off at the big show.

I wouldn't be particularly surprised if Ronda won but if it happens they're a bunch of total f***ing idiots. Her presence has done jack shit in terms of ratings or general interest over the past year (and when she pops up in other things, like MK, the public at large seems to still entirely associate her with UFC), and the kinds of people who'd report on her being in the Mania main event would report on it being a women's match anyway so it'd accomplish literally nothing besides pissing people off.
Even if Ronda isn't leaving right away then fine, whatever. She can lose twice, it won't kill her. She's done it before.

Yep, I agree. Ronda needs to lose not only for Becky but for her character as well. After all she's said and done her walking out of WM with a win's just not something that anyone wants to see. Nobody benefits from that besides her.

Even if Charlotte's the one who loses the match, it'd be completely fair to jump on Becky like we did Joe for talking shit and not winning.

And for bonus points, if you want to convince people to give a damn about the women's Rumble next year it'd help if the winner doesn't go into it with a 0% success rate.
