As the Road To Wrestlemania continues, it’s looking more and more like a Triple Threat match will, in fact, determine who will be the RAW Women’s Champion. Most fans preferred to see a singles contest between Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch. However, WWE has decided to insert Charlotte Flair into the mix.
Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio reports that injury risk played a factor in WWE’s decision. These days, WWE stars are getting hurt a lot more frequently. One reason WWE was motivated to book a Triple Threat was because, if one woman became injured, they could still make a singles match. The report notes that this is not a major reason for the decision, but it was one reason.
Currently, the match only officially includes Rousey and Flair at WrestleMania. However, on this week’s episode of Monday Night RAW, WWE set the scene for how Lynch will be added to the match. If she defeats Flair in singles competition at Fastlane this weekend (Sun. March 10, 2019), “The Irish Lass Kicker” will be WrestleMania-bound. Lynch has been dealing with a storyline injury for the past few weeks on WWE TV.
RAW ended with the 2019 Women’s Royal Rumble winner taking a vicious beating from the RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey. Her condition will likely be worsened for her match with Flair, so that should be a key storyline Sunday night. The Triple Threat match between Flair, Rousey, and Lynch is expected to be the first-ever women’s match to headline a WrestleMania card.
