She was the story at Survivor Series and 50/50 at TLC

It's obviously going to be a triple threat. Charlotte deserves to be in this match. She's got beef with both women, she'll be the one that'll lead during the match, which we all know Ronda needs badly. It'll be good.

That's so cheap though, it honestly would ruin a good thing, Charlotte doesn't need to be anywhere near this match, let her verse Asuka for the smackdown womans title.

enough of inserting people meaninglessly, even if she has beef, the story has been Becky-Rousey and to a lesser extent, Becky-Nia (elimination chamber match anyone).

She was the story because Lynch was out and they needed a filler. at TLC she was that half because of Becky's unresolved issues with her.

Its about time Charlotte took a backseat in this division anyway, long overdue in fact.

I wouldn't mind an Asuka/Charlotte rematch. In fact, I'd have Becky win the title at WM, Charlotte also win the title, having Bayley and Sasha win the tag titles...and have an official formation of the 4 Horsewomen.

I'd like this, except i'd have Charlotte lose (Asuka needs a win against Charlotte and it would make her even more bitter, good character development for a heel).

Randy Orton :lol:

Out of everyone AEW wants. I don't believe this for a second, Orton is a WWE lifer, nothing could scare the living hell out of Vince than this, Orton is about to get 5 mill per year from Vince. AJ also seems to be trying to leverage Vince (i mean, with AJ though, being in Jacksonville, its a stones throw away from his place in Georgia and they'd pay him the same money or more to work less dates).

Usos in AEW would be solid, but if any top team left, i thought it would be the New Day (Xavier and Kenny are boys, New Day and Young Bucks/Kenny have similarities, i'd see them becoming part of that inner circle tbh), Big E/Kofi could get that big singles push whilst Xavier and Big E/Kofi remain as a tag team. I think they're also trying to leverage a better deal.

That TV money is about to go to the wrestlers, which is a fantastic thing to be honest.

I believe that Cody probably reached out to Randy. I don't believe that he'll sign with them, although it would be cool.

No doubt given their relationship. I'm sure their would have been some discussion but someone would have to talk Vince off a ledge if Orton left the WWE for AEW.

Outside of the Cody Rhodes - Randy Orton connection from Legacy... Jericho is also really good friends with Orton.
It was Jericho that got worked and tried to fight Brock after Lesnar busted open Orton the hard way after their
SummerSlam match.

So I could see Cody and Jericho trying to make him a pitch but I agree it would be hard for him to leave the WWE.

Also I just read that WWE is kicking around the tires of having a Becky vs. Stephanie match at SummerSlam :cry:

95% sure Usos and Randy are putting that out there so WWE offers them more money

That's my thought as well, especially with Orton.

Yep. This is why I don't understand the fans that talk smack about AEW and want it to fail. Even if you're hardcore wwe to the bone, AEW at bare minimum will have trickle down benefits for wwe guys who will probably get paid more and hopefully not have to work as much.

I actually think the real damage AEW is going to do to WWE is force them to overreact and overpay a ton of guys who aren't worth it just to keep them from AEW. WWE already has more guys than they know what to do with, and they just keep signing more and more. Eventually all these bloated contracts are going to hurt their bottom line.

People want AEW to fail?

I don't think they are doing that. Charlotte is still a high priority for them and they will want her in the main women's match. Her going after Asuka again will seem like a demotion for Charlotte, and the WWE likely respects her too much for that especially since she played a big part in helping get Becky over by looking like a chump to Becky for like 5 straight months.

I also don't think they want either Charlotte or Asuka losing to each other at Wrestlemania.

And also Charlotte and Asuka have faced each other way too often in the last few months, both on TV and house shows. They usually protect Wrestlemania matches ahead of time by not doing them before Wrestlemania. For example, Becky and Asuka never faced each other 1 on 1 before the RR. Not even on house shows. So they were protecting that match for a big event. Asuka and Charlotte have faced each other 1 on 1 upwards of 20 times the past 2 months.

Well inserting Charlotte into the Rousey feud doesn't make much sense either because they really haven't had a lot to do with each other, it would just show the blatant favouritism they have towards Charlotte (part of the reason Becky is so over, is because Charlotte has become a golden girl and basically the female Roman in some aspects).

Charlotte has had a match with Rousey that ended up unresolved and was screwed by Rousey at TLC too. She has as much interaction with Ronda as Becky has. Maybe less promos, but she's part of it.

And yes, they'll lean into the Charlotte favoritism part to stack the deck against Becky. Notice how Charlotte has morphed into a pest role. They'll weasel her in, and fans will be upset. But it won't matter in the end because Becky is winning the RAW title at Wrestlemania--I'm 95% sure of it.

(As if Becky getting FOTC treatment isn't obvious enough already)

The SD women's title match is low priority. They probably don't even have a plan yet other than wanting Asuka to be the one with the belt going into Mania. Beyond that, it's not a main focus for them. It will likely end up a multiwomen match.
