5 reasons why Charlotte should be added to the Wrestlemania main event
If everything goes according to plan, Wrestlemania 35 may be the first time where women headline the Showcase of the Immortals. While women have already headlined various PPVs in the past such as Hell in a Cell 2016, Evolution 2018, and Tables, Ladders and Chairs 2018, they are yet to climb the top of the Mount Everest of professional wrestling.
Women's wrestling is more relevant now than it ever was, and a huge chunk of credits goes to Becky Lynch.
Lynch's rise in popularity is the single most reason why the women's storyline is heavily invested in by the WWE Universe. A huge pop and standing ovations accompany every single of her entrance. She is a massive merch mover and a crowd puller.
As mentioned before, if everything goes according to plans, Lynch will take on Ronda Rousey for the RAW Women's Championship in the main event of Wrestlemania 35. However, one huge name lurking in the shadows of this match is Charlotte Flair.
Flair has been a top contender in women's division ever since she made her debut in the main roster. "The Queen" is already a seven-time women's champion - tied for the most women's championship reigns with Trish Stratus. Thus, her constant involvement in the title picture has been stirring the pot for many WWE fans.
It is unclear if WWE would be looking forward to inserting the daughter of Ric Flair into the match between Rousey and Lynch, but all the signs suggest that WWE is considering the idea of such of a move. In the latest episode of Smackdown Live, Charlotte was emphasizing on her taking on Rousey at Wrestlemania 35.
Even though many fans would be angry at this, I feel Charlotte could bring in many positives to the RAW Women's Championship match. In this list, we will take a look at a few of those reasons.
#5 Better match quality
Both Lynch and Rousey have proven to everyone that they are good workers in the ring. Even if both of them gave their bare minimum, the build-up and the match would be memorable.
However, the past few Wrestlemania main events have been nothing but lackluster. From 2016, the main event of Wrestlemania has been underwhelming. However, WWE needs to ensure that this time the main event delivers. Thus, adding Charlotte to the mix would be a good choice.
Charlotte is a different athlete compared to Rousey and Lynch. While both Lynch and Rousey are leaning towards a technical side of wrestling, Flair is more of an athletic one. Flair can easily perform some of the memorable spots like a moonsault and Swanton bomb with ease. Moreover, in the triple threat main event between Lynch, Flair, and Asuka at TLC 2018, Flair was the MVP.
Thus adding Charlotte to the match will only make it more memorable.
