Report: Charlotte to Be Added to Ronda Rousey vs Becky Lynch at WWE WrestleMania

Mike ChiariJan 29, 2019

WWE is reportedly planning to add Charlotte Flair to the Raw Women's Championship match between Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch that is currently set for WrestleMania 35 in April.

According to Dave Meltzer onย Wrestling Observer Radioย (h/t Robert Gunier of WrestlingInc.com), WWE intends to put Charlotte into the mix and make it a Triple Threat "somewhere down the line."

Lynch chose Rousey as her WrestleMania opponent on Monday's episode of Raw after winning the women's Royal Rumble match at Sunday's pay-per-view.

Meltzerย noted that whileย WWEย could call an audible, current plans will result in Charlotte staking claim to a place in the match at The Show of Shows on April 7.

Lynch opened the Royal Rumble by losing toย Asukaย in aย SmackDownย Women's Championship match.

When Lana was set to enter the Rumble match at No. 28, she hobbled down the ramp because of an injury suffered while serving as Rusev's manager during his United States Championship clash againstย Shinsukeย Nakamuraย earlier in the night.

The Irish Lass Kicker ran down and took Lana's spot in the Rumble before going on to eliminate Charlotte and win the match.

Adding The Queen to the match between Lynch andย Rouseyย would make sense on several different levels.

Charlotte has a legitimate gripe since The Man was technically an unofficial entrant in the Rumble, as she received clearance from Fit Finlay, who is merely a backstage agent.

She also has longstanding issues with both Lynch andย Rousey.

The Lass Kicker turned on Charlotte atย SummerSlam, which severed a longtime friendship. They then went on to face each other in a Last Woman Standing match at the all-women's Evolution pay-per-view, which Lynch won.

Charlotte later replaced an injured Lynch asย Rousey's opponent at Survivor Series. She lost the match by disqualification when she launched a brutal attack against The Baddest Woman on the Planet with aย kendoย stick.

At TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs,ย Rouseyย pushed over a ladder holding both Lynch and The Queen, which allowedย Asukaย to win theย SmackDownย Women's Championship.

There is seemingly a strong chance that a women's match will main event WrestleMania for the first time ever this year, and it can be argued Charlotte deserves to be in that spot just as much as The Man andย Rousey.

Lynch is perhaps the hottest thing in wrestling right now, andย Rouseyย has more crossover appeal than anyone inย WWE.

Charlotte has accomplished several firsts with regard to women's wrestling inย WWE, though, and she was the standard-bearer in the women's division for several years before Lynch developed into The Man.

Theย storylinesย between Lynch,ย Rouseyย and The Queen intertwine perfectly, and it is difficult to think of a better match to close out WrestleMania 35 than a Triple Threat between them.
