#3 Makes Becky's possible win mean more

All the signs are pointing towards an eventual win for The Man to close WrestleMania 35. The entire buildup to the triple threat match has been focused on Becky Lynch's journey towards the main event of WrestleMania.

The Irish Lasskicker has garnered tons of mainstream attention on the way, with being the most mentioned female wrestler on Twitter, leaving Ronda and Charlotte behind. The final visual of Becky holding both the red and blue Women's Titles as 80,000 fans cheer, would be one for the ages.


#2 The titles are probably getting unified

It seems that WWE is cleaning up the clutter they have created by introducing two separate Women's titles for both brands.

Come WrestleMania, we might see both the red and the blue belts get unified into one, with the winner of the match raising both belts above her head to close out WrestleMania. After The Show of Shows is done and dusted with, we might get to see the women on both brands compete for a single Women's Title, either being represented by both belts, or a newly designed belt altogether.


#1 Making Ronda look strong even after a loss

WWE has made Ronda Rousey look strong ever since she debuted in WWE last year. Ronda hasn't been pinned as of this moment and WWE might want to keep this streak alive for a while.

We could possibly see Charlotte Flair successfully defend the SmackDown Women's Title early on in the show. This way, she enters the main event not being 100%. The match ends with Becky Lynch taking out Ronda and getting a win by making an exhausted Charlotte tap out in the middle of the ring.

Ronda loses, but still remains unpinned and this could lead to a Summerslam match between Becky Lynch and Rousey. Also, with both Becky and Charlotte holding belts, and Sasha-Bayley possibly coming out of WrestleMania still the Tag Team Champions, could we see an eventual 4 Horsewomen reunion, with everyone holding championship gold?
