Definitely due both in that she's a workhorse who fully deserves the break and also she's overexposed as all hell and some time away would do her some good.

Yeah, well deserved. Wrestling a lot and a hectic media schedule while being the top woman in the company. She deserves a break.

The important thing would be changing something up once she comes back to TV. Because Flair has had a lot of breaks and time off in the last few years and it didn’t mean shit because she just kept getting put back in the same spot with the same act.

They could do a full fledged heel turn, but she might be in that Cena category where they don't want her heel. The crazy amount of media appearances and community outreach she does might put her in the "Don't turn heel" category. Seriously, companies outside of WWE seem to freaking love her, she was a got-dang guest picker on College Gameday. |

Give her till the Rumble off, have a nice surprise return pop around 25-30, then have her screwed out of the match by Insert Heel Here. Insta-Mania-feud. |

It's interesting, because in some ways Bianca has changed her character even less than Charlotte has (she's been the EST as far back as the 2017 Mae Young Classic and already had her basic look by the WM 34 battle royal, though played heel in NXT), but by being positioned as a Super Cena-like face and never having her dominant booking become kayfabe in the way Charlotte has since 2018/19, it's less criticised. In terms of where they are in their careers (both different of course, but both had athletic backgrounds and entered wrestling relatively late), Bianca turned 34 in April, so is the age Charlotte was in 2020, when she had a long spell off after Takeover In Your House.

I assume we're seeing Bianca/Charlotte and Rhea/Becky at Mania. Charlotte's been repeatedly talking up the match again in her recent interviews, and Bianca's often talked about wanting a Mania match with her.

They were talking that same talk last year, though, and they didn’t end up doing that match at WM39. Not saying it’s not possible, or even that it’s unlikely… Just wait until it actually starts getting built on TV first. |

Kairi v Asuka v Iyo, triple threat of awesomeness for one of the titles, is my guess. Because I hope if we mention it, it'll happen, like that time this forum made HBK/Cena happen. (That was a while ago now.) |

If you trust reports (and there's every reason not to), the original plan for WM 39 was Ronda/Rhea rather than Charlotte/Rhea. |

I'm not a big fan of her OP Mary Sue booking and think it's been very damaging to the division overall.
I agree she should probably not turn heel. Little kids love her, and she is a really good to use in that Cena-like roll. There's currently no other woman on the roster that can pull that off since they have all been back and forth face/heels at one time or another.
When she comes back, hopefully they can have her as a face without booking her as an unstoppable Superman with no weaknesses.

love her and think she's one of the very best the entire company has but as long as she rarely loses, there is only so much you can do with a gimmick change

A well deserved break…but when she comes back she’ll just resume bulldozing the division like Charlotte before her.

Glad she gets some rest.
But this will mean nothing for her on air if she just returns exactly the same...and the way she went out is already set for her to completely bulldoze Dmg Cntrl when she does so.

She's a pillar of the women's division so she's earned this time off.

It’s a wise decision that will prevent burnout and overexposure. People who thrive under the Cena/Miz-PR schedule are usually workaholics who get bored at home so that and her husband being on the road leads me to believe it’ll be a short break.
