WWE might be in a bit of lull like they happen to be every December, but there are a few lights that shine brightly under the massive umbrella. The women's division is the hottest thing going in the company right now, particularly on the Smackdown side. Three of the best female wrestlers in the company are going to face each other in a triple threat TLC Match. Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and Asuka are ready to steal the show and put on a Match of the Year contender. WWE truly could not have booked a better, more exciting match.
Raw has been at it's frustrating worst in recent weeks, but the program between Ronda Rousey and Nia Jax has some spark left to it. Perhaps it is because of the massive heat on the challenger, for carelessly injuring Becky Lynch. WWE has taken advantage of this and now, we cannot wait to see Ronda destroy her. However, as good as the main event scene is good in the female division, it is only going to get better. There are a lot of possibilities heading into WrestleMania, which could be the best 'Mania for women's matches.

This year, we saw the first ever Women's Royal Rumble Match and it main evented the pay-per-view. It was a monumental moment and was exciting as hell just based on the fact that we were getting an all-female Royal Rumble. Heading into 2019, the second ever women's Rumble Match seems extremely exciting because of the possibilities and the intrigue. What will happen to the women's division on the road to WrestleMania? What should happen to it? Here is how WWE should book the Smackdown and Raw Women's Championship scenes heading into the Showcase of the Immortals.
#1 The rest of 2018
As mentioned earlier, TLC is an exciting card and involves two high profile Women's Championship matches. On the undercard, Ronda Rousey handily defeats Nia Jax with ease. It should not take more than a couple of minutes. This would put Ronda over as a legitimate badass who could end any match whenever she wants. Nia should not be rewarded much more for what she did, while the crowd would go wild for a squash of this nature. The Rowdy One mentions that she will watch the TLC match very closely, scouting some possible challengers.
The triple threat TLC Match main events the entire pay-per-view because it is a stipulation match and the one everybody is most excited for. Becky Lynch looks great in this match, her first in-ring outing since being clocked in the face on Raw. Asuka and Charlotte also take a lot of fury out on each other. The finish comes when Becky and Charlotte are so into fighting each other that Asuka takes advantage, pushing them off the ladder and retrieving the Smackdown Women's title for herself. The Empress wins the title, righting an eight month long wrong.
Heading into Royal Rumble, Ronda Rousey and Asuka both defend their titles in matches against the likes of Ruby Riott, Sonya Deville and possibly, Natalya. Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair have a No.1 Contender's Match on a late-2018 episode of Smackdown, which ends in a No Contest. None of them get a title shot and both of them are in the Royal Rumble Match.
#2 Royal Rumble and the road to WrestleMania
In Phoenix, Ronda and Asuka sit on the outside, staring each other down for a brief moment and teasing a mega match between the pair for some time down the road. The second annual women's Royal Rumble match has some cool moments involving the likes of Ember Moon, Sasha Banks and Bayley, with a couple of surprise entrants like Kaitlyn, Toni Storm and importantly, Shayna Baszler. We get a tease of the Four Horsewomen vs Four Horsewomen match. However, in the end, we come down to Becky and Charlotte.
These are the two superstars who want Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania, the former because their match at Survivor Series was canceled and the latter because they have unfinished business from the match at that very show. There is a lot of storytelling potential here. The match is won by Becky Lynch, outlasting Charlotte Flair and 28 other women. She immediately grabs a microphone and says “You didn't think I would choose anyone else Ronnie, did you?”, while the crowd loses their collective minds.
However, Ronda Rousey has one more obstacle to pass before WrestleMania. She defends the Raw Women's Championship inside the Elimination Chamber against Sasha Banks, Bayley, Ruby Riott, Ember Moon and Natalya. Ronda, however, starts to look more and more heelish. Becky faces Nia Jax in a grudge match, winning in handsome fashion. Asuka defends her belt against Naomi in a fun match between friends before Charlotte comes out and attacks her from behind, staking her claim for a Championship match for herself at WrestleMania.
#3 WrestleMania
WrestleMania comes around with two of the biggest Women's Championship matches WWE could possibly book. Asuka and Charlotte Flair face off in a rematch from WrestleMania 34, only with the Empress holding the Smackdown Women's Championship this time. The match is hard-hitting and similar to the exhibition they had the previous year, stealing the undercard of a hopefully stacked show. The story here is that Asuka's career entered into a downward spiral after Charlotte snapped her winning streak, a fall which only ended when Asuka won the title in a triple threat. She is searching for redemption and gets it after tapping the Queen out in the Asuka Lock. The Empress Of Tomorrow is still the Smackdown Women's Champion.
As the night progresses, the anticipation is building for the first-ever women's WrestleMania main event. Who knows when we will get a match between two female wrestlers who are this hot? This is literally the biggest match they could book. WWE might not have a women's match as big as this again, so they have to capitalize. Becky Lynch is the single hottest star in the company right now. Hell, her Royal Rumble Access VIP tickets sold out in only 90 seconds. That is astonishing and just proves how over The Man really is. Also, Ronda Rousey does not need any introduction. This match has just been built up so well and will surely get the best reaction a 'Mania main event has gotten since at least WrestleMania 31.
The match is everything you would expect from Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey, slick, brutal and well thought out. From there on, anybody could win. As long as it is a phenomenal match. The Baddest Woman on the Planet makes good of that moniker, as she looks more and more vicious, tapping into that ruthless and villainous edge she would absolutely pull off. Ronda knows that Becky will get more cheers and she plays that up perfectly. In the end, it is The Man who stands tall as she topples the unstoppable Raw Women's Champion. Becky Lynch beats Ronda Rousey in the main event of WrestleMania and has won the Raw Women's title. Book it WWE, you have lightning in a bottle.
