Is this the most logical trajectory for the women's title match at Mania? Ronda is currently out the picture. And not sure how long Becky is going to be gone as well. Plus, Becky vs. Bianca and Becky vs. Charlotte has already been done.
Who else is left for Bianca at this point that would be a WrestleMania quality opponent? I think Rhea is the only credible opponent she wasn't beat yet. But Rhea is currently tied up the Mysterio storyline and there's unfinished business with her and Beth Phoenix. I can see Beth entering the rumble and eliminating Rhea, which will lead up to some sort of hardcore match at Mania.
On the Smackdown side, there's Lacey Evans. Maybe a potential opponent for Charlotte. But there's been so many starts and stops with Lacey's pushes they where it seems her value is not the same had it been a year or two ago.
I am going with Charlotte vs. Bianca in a winner takes all. It's already been established that a champion can enter the rumble with the stipulation that if they win, they can choose their opponent for Mania. I could see Charlotte winning it, then issuing the challenge to Bianca.
What do you think?

I'm guessing Charlotte loses the belt back to Ronda and then goes after Bianca for #17, while Ronda defends against Rhea.

No nor do I think it happens. Not sure who Charlotte defends against but I'd be stunned if we don't get Rhea vs. Bianca.

Rhea's got so many potential major feuds lined up that it's hard to say which they'll go with. They've hinted at her/Bianca, but there's also been some unsubtle teases for her/Becky, and then there's the question of if/when Beth is gonna avenge getting Conchairtoed at Extreme Rules.

The women's title matches for Wrestlemania seem completely up in the air which I don't think they usually are this late in the game. Hell, even the men's main event is normally 95% known by early January but most people still can't seem to decide yet if it's going to be Roman v Rock, Roman v Cody or even Roman v Sami.
A month or two ago I was pretty sure it would be Ronda v Becky and Bianca v Charlotte but with Ronda losing/Charlotte winning the title last week I don't think either of those are very likely anymore.
Rhea/Becky is probably the biggest match they could do now but neither have the title right now so Rhea/Bianca is probably more likely and would be great too.
I still think maybe Damage CTRL turn on Bayley in the next couple of months and we end up with IYO and Dakota v Bayley and Becky for the tag titles. Maybe Ronda and Shayna will be in that too as Ronda has hinted at going after the tag belts now.
Charlotte I have no idea. Surely they're not going to do Charlotte/Ronda or Charlotte/Becky again. Maybe Charlotte v Asuka's new character? Or Charlotte v Beth? You'd need to build Beth up to some degree though after barely wrestling in years. Maybe a win over Rhea at EC which Rhea could probably afford take if she just got the big Rumble win the month prior and was about to win the title.

Going by Pearce’s comments about the tag titles, I think they may be looking to de-unify the titles, rather than to unify more.

I think Becky/Rhea and Bianca/Charlotte are what the two singles title matches are going to be. I'm guessing Rhea wins the Rumble and then Becky wins the Raw title in Elimination Chamber. Granted then I have no idea how they get to Charlotte and Bianca with them both being on different brands. I guess maybe something as simple as Bianca challenging Charlotte as she's the one high profile woman she hasn't beat yet. Ronda can team up with Shayna in some way. I agree with you about Bayley getting turned on as that seems to be the only way to get all three Damage CTRL on the card.

I'd prefer to see Bianca v Rhea but as others have said, Rhea might end up with Beth after what happened at Extreme Rules. Charlotte v Bianca as a match could be decent but not sure I'd want them to unify the titles personally.

They need to get away from unified titles and back to clear rosters on each show, with clear titles for each of those rosters.
They have too many people for so few titles, and doing to the women what they have done to the men wont help.

Rhea should absolutely be the one to take the title from Bianca. I have no idea what to do with Charlotte as I have no desire to see her vs Ronda again, and there is no heel on Smackdown that fells Mania-worthy. Maybe Bayley?

I've said before that WWE really should unify their women's titles for the main roster; it's shitty enough having two world champions in one promotion, having that for your women's division when you don't really even have enough talent to support two shows' worth of said division is over the top.
