I disagree, I just think the match that they are going to go with, is what will make it subpar. It sucks, because there are way more talented women on the roster, than the two or three that will end up in that match.

And if the match bombs, it'll be a while before they get that chance again.

Bex doesn't really have the most exciting matches, and all of the Ronda matches have sucked except maybe two (IMO - Against Nia, and against Charlotte where Charlotte murdered her and got DQ'd)

I think the story has been terrible but the match itself has a chance to be great. Charlotte VS Ronda was a very good match and if you go back and re-watch Becky VS Charlotte at Evolution, they absolutely killed it. They always work so well together and that chemistry can help carry this match while adding in spots for Ronda.

Becky and Charlotte also know that being given the top spot means they need to bring it and I have no doubt that they will.

Kofi VS Bryan will almost certainly be the MOTN but this match has an honest chance to be a very close second.

If the Kofi-Bryan match holds up, this is gonna be like WM 18( I mean X8) where Rock-Hogan stole the show. No one cared that HHH beat Jericho lol.

I've said the same thing nf4l said as well. It doesn't hurt WWE, if anything it helps them being this open to women now. But WWE is doing something very wrong if guys like Rollins, Lesnar, Reigns, etc., guys who are getting payed 10 times more than the women, and they get a lot more publicity (daily shows, commercials, etc.) and the storylines are definitely built more around the men, but for fans to be uninterested? If you're Vince, that's not good...Long term wise this isn't good for the WWE.

I'd get it if women were the top money makers, get all the pub, and the ME story lines, but that's not the case. This shows what a bad spot they are in right now. I like Becky and her character, but there's no way she would in the ME over Austin, Rock, HHH, Jericho, UT, HBK, etc...

It just sucks because Ronda is leaving after Mania so there's no way this story pays off. Becky will win and feud with no one, fans will cry WWE dropped the ball.

She and Charlotte should be on opposite brands post WM. But a feud with Nia is obvious, a proper feud with Asuka, turn Banks back heel after she and Bayley drop the tag titles, a Shayna feud if she gets the call up... they have some options.

Please no more Sasha & Bayley, until they find their stride again. They are pretty bland at the moment. Please bring up Shayna, Kari, Use Ruby Riott correctly.. etc. New blood, new stories. Sasha and Bayley are now in that Cesaro / Seth Rollins spot in my Eyes. Talent, who I was behind at one point, but after so many failed attempts and bad storytelling, need to fade away. They need to fade away until they can create better stories (not likely) or until they revamp their stale characters.

As bad as the Ronda/Becky/Charlotte build has been, the Brock/Seth build has been worse. Same old Heyman promos. Same old little man underdog story with the Universe behind them. And Seth is boring AF on the mic.

I can see maybe Bayzler coming in to interfere but still meh a f.

I really hope AEW surpasses the WWE because it is pretty much unwatchable now.
