Triple Threat Match for the Diva’s Title: Charlotte (c) versus Sasha Banks versus Becky Lynch
This match could and should be something special. If the WWE lets theses WOMEN shine and do something. This should be a marque match given how good the girls are and how long and hard the WWE have been building up to this match. Since the Royal Rumble at least.
In-ring wise the three are a close to even as any could be, with slight edges going to each woman.
The only drawback each have is in how they are being used. The Charlotte of old in NXT was more well-rounded as a character. I know many people think she has turned the corner, I think otherwise. She hasn’t become a character, but a caricature of her father. She isn’t Charlotte, she’s Baby Flair.
The WWE has basically made Becky ill relevant at this moment, the third wheel that gets lost in the shuffle.
Sasha, as good as she is, spends more time posing than anything else, the WWE not letting her break out – even when the fans are chanting: WE WANT SASHA!!
This match is what the Divas Revolution should be all about. New talent, new era. Use Mania as the launching pad, let these Women go.
Charlotte is being set up for the long haul, like her father. If she loses, we all know she’ll get the title again. It’s okay for the Heel to lose, ask Ric. Becky really needs a win, out of the three she could use the Mania moment the most. Otherwise, more of being lost in the shuffle.
Sasha – Sasha demands the win. So does the Fan Base.
Ladder Match for the IC Title: Kevin Owens (c) versus Sami Zayn versus Dolph Ziggler versus Zack Ryder versus Sin Cara versus The Miz versus Stardust
Expect a car wreck. That is what these matches usually are, sometimes by design. This is basically the match set up to get all these guys on the card. Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn and Ziggler have history, and The Miz has been involved to some degree. Ryder, Sin Cara and Stardust were thrown in at the last minute.
The lynchpin: no one likes KO, not even his fellow heels.
WWE can go two ways with this match, have KO win and look strong, position him as a great IC Champ and for a future World Title Chase and/or Run.
Or, they can give the IC title (even for a short run) to someone new and let them run with it.
AJ Styles versus Chris Jericho
The Best in the World at What he Does versus The Phenomenal One. We’ve seen this match twice so far, and neither one has been a letdown. The first match was Flawless.
Here is the thing, we know both these guys can do stuff they didn’t do in those first two matches. Will they step it up for Mania?
They stand currently at 1 win a piece. Jericho has survived losses at Mania before (Fandango), and is a good guy that helps talent get over. He doesn’t need the win, but it wouldn’t hurt Styles in Jericho does win.
Styles is in a unique position for his first Mania. If he wins, he is elevated quickly and he has beaten Jericho twice. It is Jericho and that means something. If he loses, that’s okay, because it is Jericho. Plus, how many talent in the past go into their first Mania with people expecting the match to be the best on the card.
All anyone needs to know about this match is six words:
IT IS STYLES IT IS JERICHO
