I'm mostly curious how the hell they're going to drag out Edge / Finn to Mania at this point given that seems to be the plan and they've already done, "Judgment Day beats Edge's ass and he takes his contractually mandated vacation," like 60 times in this storyline. Booking team: "GET THIS, what if Edge...gets his ass beat by Judgment Day again and takes a contractually mandated vacation until Wrestlemania!"

Do Edge and Beth vs. Rhea and Balor at EC. Then Edge vs. Balor in the Cell at Mania. That’s probably what’s going to happen. Where’s everyone getting the HIAC thing with balor and edge though? Did one of them mention it or something? Edge-Balor probably would need a little sizzle to the steak cuz Edge-Styles was “alright” ..but HIAC feels huge for them.

I don't think its confirmed who Rhea is going after. Plus I imagine the women's chamber will likely be to determine a #1 contender for whatever women's title Rhea doesn't go after. With both RAW and SD women involved. Because after the reception Asuka got on Saturday, she's likely going to find her way into the other title scene. The only thing that got a louder pop than her that night was Sami turning on Roman. I think it's fairly safe that Rhea challenges the Raw champion. If she challenges Charlotte then she's not part of Judgement Day anymore and I don't see them wanting to do that as they are a pretty hot act right now and she's a big part of that. I guess maybe Asuka beats Bianca at EC and fights Rhea at Mania. However then where does that leave Bianca? I know it's been speculated it will be her and Charlotte but thing is how do you get Bianca to Smackdown? Also can't see anyone on the current SD roster getting a Mania title shot against Charlotte. I guess maybe Liv or Raquel but both of those would be reaches. Asuka is on Raw so you can't have her against Charlotte. It's actually hard to figure out what they are going to do as Bianca, Charlotte, and Rhea are all pretty much locks for the two title matches. It's just who the fourth person is going to be and how they are going match everyone on up. You are putting a little too hard stock on the brand split here....they have not been treating it as an absoloute that someone needs to remain on their brand and are only allowed on the other show under strict circumstances...just look at KO and the entire bloodline. Whoever Rhea chooses then the EC will be used to determine the challenger for the other title...which I expect will be Asuka because idk how HHH ignores the reaction she got at the rumble which overshadowed every other woman in the match.

It's just who the fourth person is going to be and how they are going match everyone on up. That's why I said the EC could be both RAW and SD Women, winner gets the match against Charlotte. Also it's not like WWE is strictly enforcing the brand split either right now. Asuka could win and be moved over to Smackdown full time, assuming she wins the title at Mania. WWE is in a bad spot right now with her, because she came back way hotter with the fans than they likely expected, and there's no one really on Smackdown over enough to face Charlotte at Mania. Liv has cooled off massively, and Raquel can't even get a pop in her own home state. And the heel side of the division is absolutely dire, with only Lacey Evans being presented as a threat, but she's too busy sinking herself in numerous controversies and is still absolutely awful in the ring. Lacey Evans is the only threat on the Heel side, but she's got negative chemistry with Charlotte.

I've never really been that much of a Lacey fan but I thought she actually looked surprisingly good in the Rumble. A lot more crisp then usual and she actually came off as kind of a bad ass with how aggressive she was especially with that cobra clutch on Zelina. I don't think she should be challenging for the title at Mania but if they keep pushing her and she keeps wrestling like she did at the Rumble I think she could be a challenger somewhere down the road. Problem is she's had so many chances and so many turns that it's just super hard to care at this point. I mean we're on what? The seventh or eighth repackaging and attempted push for her?

Sometimes I turn on Chicago Fire before Raw out of morbid curiosity and there's this one EMT who has the exact same vibe as Austin Theory

I feel like it has to be Rhea/Bianca and Asuka/Charlotte. The brand split is dead, they can find a way to do it.

I'd like to see a Liv/Asuka/Charlotte triple threat at WM, but I don't know how you'd do that if there's going to be an EC match for the SD title shot.
