Juan Carlos Reneo checks in to ask the burning question: to Charlotte, or not Charlotte? Do you add Charlotte Flair to the presumed WrestleMania main event?

For quite some time now we’ve known that the WrestleMania 35 main event would involve Royal Rumble winner Becky Lynch and Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey. Reports have told us the plan is to add Charlotte Flair to this historic match…but should Charlotte be part of this match?

In Favor of Charlotte Flair

Charlotte Flair is with no doubt one of the best female wrestlers of WWE and the business history and her match record of great performances with most women of the roster help her case for her inclusion to this historic match. Charlotte being in the match would help the quality of the match in a significant amount and will help specially Ronda Rousey. Ronda Rousey during her match with Bayley on last week’s RAW, saw a very sloppy performance by her and it could be made the case she didn’t have time to practice and the crowd was not of her side and both factors affected her a lot.

Ronda Rousey will have a lot of pressure during this match because like it or nor she will be the heel in this feud with Becky Lynch and fans in both arenas and in social media have made it clear with booing the former UFC champion, Charlotte has proven she can also be a amazing heel and this would only make things more interesting and a difficult challenge of Becky Lynch to overcome.

Against Charlotte Flair

During last week’s RAW the promo exchange between Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch was one of the highlights of the show and both women delivered great promos but most important the crowd was into the idea of a singles match over a triple threat. Another thing to consider both Lynch and Rousey have been building up this feud in social media for quite some time now and most of this interactions have been a great way to build up this dream match the problem comes that Charlotte made a few interactions into this twitter war Ronda and Lynch are having from time to time but she was never really part of this feud and looking now that was a huge mistake from her and she should’ve done more to help her case.

Another against Charlotte case is the fact her addition to this match leaves a big hole for the SmackDown women’s title and current champion Asuka does not have a credible opponent for the championship she has, and unless they build someone from Smackdown to the levels of Becky and Charlotte but looking to Smackdown’s women’s roster no one is credible right now. A WrestleMania rematch between Asuka and Charlotte would be a interesting match for the WrestleMania card and fans would not be disappointed to see this match again.

Final Take

In my opinion I would prefer a singles feud between Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey. So, we separate Charlotte and Becky for a while and not keep going to the same feud over and over again. The addition of Charlotte is understandable as well since she has been a constant factor in the success of women’s wrestling in WWE and she is being on the WrestleMania main event would be a gift for her consistency. Only time will tell what direction WWE will go but most likely is a triple treat match for the first ever women’s WrestleMania main event.

WWE WrestleMania 34 Charlotte Flair Asuka

Chris king is back with one of the most underrated matches in WrestleMania history–Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka!

We look back at Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka at WWE WrestleMania 34. ‘The Empress of Tomorrow’ put her unprecedented and historic undefeated streak of 914 days on the line against ‘The Queen’s’ SmackDown Women’s Championship.

For years, this was considered a dream match while Asuka dominated the roster in NXT, while Flair won numerous championships on the main roster on both Raw and SmackDown. The Empress made her long-awaited debut on the September 11th episode of Raw and began to tear through the competition.

Asuka outlasted all twenty-nine other women in the historic first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble match to challenge for the title of her choosing. At Fastlane, she made her choice.

The WWE Universe was so excited for this match myself included. Both superstars delivered a fantastic performance on the Grandest Stage of Them All executing counter after counter. Asuka showed off some nasty-looking kicks to her opponent, and Flair hit a thunderous Spanish Fly off the top rope. Flair was seconds away from defeat at the hands of The Empress but she locked in Figure Eight and Asuka was forced to tap out.

I can’t even begin to explain how shocked I was at this outcome, as nearly everyone expected The Empress to continue her undefeated streak and walk away with the women’s title. This controversial decision was the downfall of Asuka’s momentum. She would ultimately win the SmackDown Women’s Championship at the 2018 TLC pay-per-view in the triple-threat ladder match.

Fast forward to this year when Asuka has recently returned with her Japanese-inspired persona Kana. Kana is dangerous and ruthless and is heading into a championship with Bianca Belair at WrestleMania 39. The Empress has regained all her momentum and is highly favored to walk away with the Raw Women’s Championship. Let’s hope that Asuka and Belair can tear the house down and deliver an A+ grade match both women are fully capable of.

King: Dominik Mysterio Needs To Do This At WrestleMania

Chris King is here with what WWE should do with Dominik Mysterio at WrestleMania in his long-awaited match against his father Rey Mysterio Jr.

Chris King is here with what WWE should do with Dominik Mysterio at WrestleMania in his long-awaited match against his father Rey Mysterio Jr.

On this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Rey Mysterio finally snapped and beat some sense into his disrespectful punk-ass kid Dominik. The member of the Judgement Day came out to push his father again for a match on the Grandest Stage of Them All, this time with his mother and sister at ringside. The ungrateful punk told his mom to “Shut Up,” as a father even I wanted to jump through the screen and whoop his ass.

Back in October of last year, Mysterio made the emotional decision to possibly quit the company but, instead, Triple H persuaded the Lucha libre superstar to move over to SmackDown to avoid his son. This came after Dominik shockingly turned on his father at Clash at the Castle. Mysterio did everything he could to refuse his despicable son’s challenge for Mania but, a man can only be pushed so far. Mysterio will be inducted into the 2023 WWE Hall of Fame and I expect Dominik to embarrass his father during his speech to further this personal feud.

Yes, the WWE Universe hates Dominik and wants to see him get the ever-loving crap kicked out of him but, this feud is missing a special ingredient to capitalize on the biggest heat possible. Throughout this feud, Dominik has made mention of the legendary Eddie Guerrero on several occasions going back to the “iconic” 2005 feud.

I know WWE might not want to go this route but, Dominik MUST come out to Eddie Guerrero’s theme at Mania. The disrespectful punk needs to come out in a lowrider to garner nuclear heat. It doesn’t matter if The Judgement Day comes out and causes interference for Dominik to get the win, all that matters is that both superstars get the biggest payoff of this nearly year-long feud. Just imagine the Roman Reigns heat after he defeated The Undertaker and multiply that by ten. Dominik portrays the perfect heel and he truly is the missing ingredient that The Judgement Day needed to grow and evolve into a top faction.
