Can some wrestling baw marks explain to me why there is a female triple threat match as the headliner? I just saw an article on ESPN about Becky Lynch and thought it was odd how strong the push was for Rousey vs Flair vs Lynch.

Becky Lynch is the man


I mean sure Rousey is 'famous' and Flair is baby Flair but..

Is Becky Lynch as popular as the article claims? Does the match have any possible chance of living up to the hype? Is the hype even real or is this a women's social justice issue? Will people be getting up from their seats to go to the urinal before the real main event? Are there more deserving matches that should have its spot on the card? I

Becky is the most over superstar in WWE right now.

It’s extremely good PR for WWE. But these women deserve it, they’ve put in the work these women can seriously go.

With Roman missing for months they were left kinda thin without there too guy.

Rollins vs Lesnar is probably main event worthy but they may not want a repeat of what happened in the main event of mania.

Bryan vs Kofi is also worthy of the main event it just doesn’t appeal to the people who only watch once a year.

With the new writers and the move to fox I’d expect Wrestlemania 36 in Tampa to have multiple main event worthy matches.

I watch every week and she is as popular as any wrestler has been since Daniel Bryan in 2014

Her run started at Money in the Bank last year when she got a louder pop than any of the other 7 women in the match when she climbed the ladder. After that she started getting a push and it all came to a head at Summerslam when Charlotte Flair, who had been out for a couple months, upon her return immediately got injected into Becky's championship match vs. Carmella at Summerslam despite not doing anything to earn it. This put the fans heavily on the side of Becky and when Charlotte won the title match at Summerslam, Becky attacked her and that started her current run as "The Man".

Becky and Ronda were supposed to face off at Survivor Series but Nia Jax broke Becky's face during a RAW invasion before Survivor Series which forced Becky out of the match.

It's funny because it's been quite the opposite reaction from feminists since Becky calls herself The Man.

Yeah its legit. Lynch is the most popular wrestler they have, thus the main event.

Wrestling changed A LOT since the Attitude Era.

They've changed from a suspend your disbelief type of show, to one that caters to the internet "smarks"

Women's wrestling improved a lot, but their matches still come across as way overly rehearsed.

I can't watch today's WWE

Related to the 'nepotism' from her Dad?

How does Rousey fit into it all? Just because she's well known? I feel as if she wouldn't be close to the wrestler that the other two are and are going to have to carry her in the match

Your attempt to troll baffles me, i clearly did not say overrated. But if being a keyboard warrior makes you feel good about yourself, do you man.

Becky went on a winning streak on Smackdown from Money in the Bank to Summerslam, and because of her winning streak got a match with Carmella for the Smackdown Women's title at Summerslam. It was supposed to be a one on one match.

Then Charlotte comes back from her "injury"(which was a boob job) and as soon as she gets back Paige inserts her into the Women's Smackdown Championship match at Summerslam. This made a lot of people angry since Becky had always played 2nd fiddle to Charlotte and when Becky finally got her own chance Charlotte gets inserted into the match. Everyone thought it was unfair. So when Becky lost at Summerslam and attacked Charlotte, it was big because everyone wanted it.

She was heavily hyped before joining WWE, then joined WWE, had a good debut match at Mania and has not lost a match yet or been pinned or been submitted.

It'll be better than Brock's two move repertoire. He can't even wrestle more than 10 minutes. I fully expect the women to be a good main event. Just wish they had added Asuka and make it a fatal four way.

Asuka vs Ember Moon for 15-20 minutes would have been great. What’s up with Ember anyways?

I’ll laugh my arse off if after they almost left because of how poor the direction of the tag team division was going, to now having two fatal four way tag team matches and being a part of their first WM, the Revival are the ones to break Hawkins losing streak.

This is getting a lot of good pub. NPR was praising it this morning.

Vince is a genius.

100% chance this will happen. Also very high chance Hwakins and Ryder lose the belts at the next ppv at the latest.
