Sasha Vs. Becky For A Shot At Charlotte

Charlotte got through Brie Bella. Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch have handled Naomi and Tamina. Time to build to Wrestlemania. Is this the first time the Diva's Championship will be defended in a singles match at the big event? It looks like it might come down to either Sasha or Becky.

Ideally, it will be both of them heading to Wrestlemania to face Charlotte for the title. It wouldn't be that hard to do. Just have Naomi and Tamina interfere in the #1 contender's match. They are still involved, as seen this week. Or have Charlotte be the one that interferes in the match, thinking that screwing up the match means she doesn't have to defend the title at Wrestlemania, only to then learn she will have to defend the title against both. That kind of thing has happened before.

If I had to choose only one of the two divas to get the title shot, I would not be able to. It is not so much a matter of favoritism or deciding which of the two is more talented. Which feud would tell the best story? Neither Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte nor Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte would be that amazing to be worthy of Wrestlemania. I am not talking about the match that will happen at the big event. I am talking about the story and the build. Becky vs. Charlotte had potential to be big, but the WWE has killed the emotion that was there. Sasha Banks has her win streak, so title vs. streak might be appealing, but that personal feel isn't there for a feud against Charlotte. How would you be able to fill all those weeks until Wrestlemania? The best option really is to keep both Sasha and Becky in there for a triple-threat match at Wrestlemania.

Let me do a little aside on Raw's ratings. Raw did pretty good this week. It got 3,884,000 viewers. The reason why I would not say it did amazing is because they have done better this Wrestlemania season. The Raw after the Royal Rumble did 4,098,000 viewers. I know the Royal Rumble is a bigger deal than Fastlane and that Raw featured an appearance from The Rock, but what happened on Raw this week had more of a big impact on storylines than The Rock's appearance. Short of Donald Trump coming back, what will it take to get ratings back up to at least a 3.0? If this week's Raw did a good job of generating hype, it will show in next week's numbers. If the WWE cannot at least maintain solid numbers, they are pretty much screwed. If a huge angle like what happened on Raw this week can't turn things around, they need to seriously overhaul things.
