#3 A mess of a main event

When this segment aired on January 28th, it looked like we were going to be in for something truly special. There hadn't been a segment as electric as this in years.

And within days, WWE flushed it all down the toilet.

What has come since then has been a mess of convoluted booking, overexposure, and unwanted new elements being inserted into the story. We went from the Lynch vs. Rousey singles match everyone wanted to see to a shoehorned triple threat match that most people had no interest in seeing.

There have been good moments, such as Rousey's heel turn, but they've simply been lost in the tedium of week-to-week booking on both shows. Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch are still trapped in the pattern they've been in since last summer - a show of tedium that didn't need to happen because there was no reason for the former to even be in this match in the first place.

This will be the first women's WrestleMania main event, and congratulations to all involved in it, but it's been a slog to get through week to week, and it will be a relief when it's over. WWE took the magic they had in their hands and scattered it to the four winds.
