Been running a few scenarios through whats left of my mind of the womens rumble. No matter whether she wins the rumble or even chamber Rhea is gonna challenge Charlotte for the SD womens title. And however way Rhea gets to that will be the opposite of how Asuka gets to Bianca who I believe is gonna be the one to challenge her for the Raw womens title at Mania. Rhea/Charlotte would be a bit of a disappointment. They have 3 possible fresh opponents for Rhea who've all gotten big reactions when they've interacted with her in recent months in Bianca, Becky and Beth. Surely one of those is Rhea's opponent. There's been zero hints of Rhea/Charlotte on TV plus they already had a Wrestlemania match in 2020 and another feud in 2021. I've struggling to think who Charlotte will defend against though. I don't think it will be Ronda again. I don't think they're unifying the titles so not Bianca. Becky's been done too many times. Naomi if she returns? Asuka? Even that's already been done at Wrestlemania though. People may not love it, but I think there's a real chance Bianca somehow drops the belt to Alexa via shenanigans, Bianca comes back and wins the Rumble to get us to get Charlotte vs. Bianca at Mania for SD and Becky vs. Alexa vs. Bayley vs. Rhea for RAW.

Even that's already been done at Wrestlemania though. Rhea and Charlotte have a built in story already in that Rhea has never beaten her and has had both her reigns ended by her and wants that revenge , it is a very low effort story to tell that WWE wont have to put a lot in just retread old ground although the thing here is the alignment is all f***ed up and would up with Rhea being the babyface here. The thing with Rhea though is she has a weird stop gap with Beth who anyone with a quarter of a brain knows is going to be in the rumble and this is a case of her having a little too many things going on at once...people have her pegged to win the rumble..,but she also teased feuds with Bianca and Becky and still has the Beth feud..and Rhea fans will be upset if any of those do not happen sooner than later or not given enough time. Sending Rhea to face Charlotte IF she wins the rumble is the easy way out of this mess and free's Bianca up for like I have predicted Asuka to face her at Mania.

Might be a bit of a rush to get done but I’d go with Bianca losing to Alexa. Alexa loses the title at EC to Becky. Bianca wins the Rumble. Rhea is eliminated by Beth. Rhea vs. Beth at EC as well.
Mania title matches: Becky (c) vs. Rhea Charlotte (c) vs. Bianca

They are letting Sunny out for this? Nope. This woman isn't like most girls. God, I hope this isn’t true. Keep her out of that f***ing ring!

If it's just a one off in which she's in for a very short time and is just used as fodder for like Rhea or someone then I guess I could tolerate it. Otherwise please no.

I would be happy with Rhea versus Charlotte as long as Rhea wins. It always annoyed me how Charlotte always got one up on her.
By the way, will NXT wrestlers be in the Rumbles?

I don't think they did any last year so I think they are cutting back on that. I guess maybe a little more likely with the women since they have a much smaller selection and always have to look elsewhere to fill it out. However even with them I don't know as the MR womens roster is a good bit bigger with all the returns even if they have to use women who have been used almost exclusively as valets (Scarlett, Zelina, B-Fab, Maxxine, Vahilla). Also I see them likely going to legends and past women not under contract for the spots needed to fill rather then NXT. Even last year when the roster was a lot smaller they used no NXT women and instead elected to use a ton of non contracted past women instead.

I wouldn't complain if Alexa had one last little run with the RAW Championship (depending on how long it is before she moves on from WWE). Having said that, I wouldn't complain if Bianca retains either.

I think the biggest thing that gives me pause on Alexa winning is Bray. They're clearly building up to the two of them in some way intersecting, and while the brand split is pretty loose these days anyway Bray seems pretty strictly a SmackDown-specific act outside of this week which was a special occasion. They could always quickly get the belt off Alexa I guess, and I can absolutely see Bianca winning the Rumble then facing Charlotte happening, but it kind of seems like it'd be unnecessarily messy. Why I kind of figure they might just have Rhea win it instead, though I'm not really sure where that leaves whichever belt she doesn't challenge for.

The ONLY way I’d be open to seeing Rhea vs. Charlotte again is if Rhea got to WIN this time.

Felt like doing a Rumble sim in 2K22 and wonder how people would react to Edge eliminating Cody in the middle of the Rumble, Priest eliminating Brock, the final four being Rock, Drew, Edge, and Corbin, and Edge eliminating Rock to win.

That sounds really plausible. And gives a lot of the RAW women a chance to be showcased. Here I figured Rhea would face Bianca and Becky would face Charlotte with a third woman somehow finagled in.

How about Rhea vs. Bianca, and then a Mania rematch with Charlotte vs. Becky vs. Ronda again?
