We knew it was going to happen, people. Would I have preferred the one-on-one Ronda Rousey vs. Becky Lynch match to headline WrestleMania 35? Sure. Maybe a lot of us preferred that – but deep down, we all knew there was no way they were going to have this match without Charlotte Flair. Right?
I mean, look at how many firsts Flair has been apart of since coming up to the main roster. She’s essentially the cornerstone of the “Women’s Evolution” movement.
No matter how hot Lynch is at the moment, no matter how big of a draw Rousey is – that. main. event. is. not. happening. without. Flair.
So, it was made official (kind of) last night.
Vince McMahon struts out and announces that Lynch is out and Flair is in.
IS THIS FOR REAL?!@VinceMcMahon just SUSPENDED @BeckyLynchWWE for 60 DAYS, replacing her in the #WrestleMania main event against @RondaRousey with @MsCharlotteWWE! #RAW pic.twitter.com/kjLnnvL0gv

And, of course, instead of being patient and seeing where this storyline goes, people descended into panic.
I don’t care if it’s kayfabe and a swerve, I hate Vince inserting Charlotte into Becky and Ronda’s Wrestlemania match.#RAW @WrestlingInc

…that’s literally the worst way to put Charlotte in EVER. I actually don’t really care about having Charlotte in the match- she’ll make it huge- but FUCKING. HELL. You couldn’t actually think up a way to put her in the match through storyline? Just went- ‘lol she’s in.’?! #RAW

As the supposed authorities of the WWE, none of us wanted this to happen.

So, you better fix.#Raw https://t.co/Qr3fL3CAmk
Becky resuspended because Vince McMahon from the Attitude Era came out of a cryogenic pod to punish Stone Cold Becky Lynch and force Charolette in to the feud. McMahon Era is killing me. #lame #raw #wwe #vincemcmahon

Last week: “Charlotte, get outta here, this doesn’t concern you!”
— Too Sweet Wrestling! (@TSWchat2018) February 12, 2019
This week: “Charlotte, have this main event match you haven’t earned!”
WWE logic in 2019
Fuck Vince and #Raw. Hurry up #AEW!
@VinceMcMahon is a perverted old fart who drools over blondes like @MsCharlotteWWE #Raw #WWE #WrestleMania #FuckYouVince

Last night’s #Raw ending was one of the worst that I’ve ever seen in my life. How dare Mr.McMahon do that to #TheMan. Now, it’s like her #RoyalRumble win means absolutely nothing. This is so not right. #JusticeForTheMan

Honestly, if Charlotte’s replacing Becky, Ronda need to lose to Ruby Riott (Yeah, I know it’s not happening but still). We’ve already had a sorry DQ match between the two. We don’t need/want another one. It’s stupid. #RAW

Not arsed but WWE have blown up the only thing they had going for them. Regardless of wether Becky Lynch ends up at Wrestlemania or not, adding Charlotte Flair has taken away from everything that’s been worked on. No wonder the business is failing #RAW

I wish I had a significant platform to explain why everything that happened w Becky last night was the wrong move… but i guess I’ll just settle for screaming at my roommate for walking too fast up the steps. Fuckin dick. ♂️ #Raw

This is gold, especially the one about putting the strap on Ruby Riott and ridin’ that to profits. And, really – it’s a genius move on WWE’s part. They’re getting people riled up and so now, they’re even more behind The Man than ever.
Are y’all really taking the bait? Do y’all really think Lynch isn’t going to be in the main event? Do y’all really think it’s just going to be Flair vs. Rousey again, straight up? I don’t.
Part of me thinks they could go ahead and have Lynch vs. Stephanie McMahon at WrestleMania 35…but I just don’t think that’s likely. Lynch never got her shot at Rousey. Flair did, and while, sure – we’ve seen rematches take place at WrestleMania….it just wouldn’t feel as special given the magnitude of having the Women’s Championship headline the biggest show of the year.
That triple threat would be awesome.
Stay tuned and calm down – or don’t. Don’t watch anymore WWE ever. I don’t fuckin’ care. It’s not going to stop me from enjoying this feud – I just might have less tweets to make fun of in posts like this.
I’ve often joked that Balor could skull fuck Vince Jr in the WM main event and you nerds would still whine about it.
— BIG FRAY ENERGY (@TheFrayMovement) February 12, 2019
Well, Becky is clearly about 30 days away from taking Vince Jr’s arm on Monday night #Raw and getting her WM match back.
Put on your large adult diapers.
All hail, baby.
