Well, by now we all know where this is going and it’s only a matter of time (as well as how we reach that point) before the triple threat is officially confirmed.
From the very beginning, I had personally expressed my belief that this should have been a one on one encounter between Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch. The story line was/is ready made and I still can’t shake off that amazing, electric atmosphere when the two ladies first faced off in the ring the night after the Royal Rumble. I think it really has been a while since we last had such a vibe and it really is too bad WWE elected to add Charlotte in the mix when it was really not necessary.
Once again, though I understand why they are doing this I still disagree with the idea of a triple threat and, quite frankly, we could easily chalk this up to story line stupidity. Why, you might ask? Wasn’t it all three McMahon’s alongside HHH in the middle of the ring on the first episode of the New Year (less than a fucking month ago), when they were all apologetic about the piss poor job on RAW? And wasn’t it HHH specifically that talked about how US FANS are now the authority? Well, if that’s the case, the vast majority of the fans had spoken loud and clear about them wanting this to stay one on one post Royal Rumble so…why are we getting Charlotte as well. I thought it was up to us the fans to decide…
Look, I get it. WWE basically hate the fact that Ronda has been booed a lot lately, which is a rather natural reaction given Becky Lynch is the monster baby face in this feud so, in their minds, by adding Charlotte in the mix, they feel she will absorb all the heat. It really boils down to that, alongside the fact that Ronda is probably stepping away (as in taking a break for a few months) after Mania.
Nevertheless, unless something really big happens that would force them to change their plans, it’s going to be a triple threat so, at this point, all I can hope for is that at least the outcome will stay the same, that being Becky’s hand being raised as the winner to close the show…
