Shayna Baszler was expected to win the Women's Royal Rumble on Sunday but Charlotte Flair ended up picking up the win. Dave Meltzer now claims that the plan is to add three major Women's singles title matches to the WrestleMania card.

He reports that Charlotte Flair will be clashing with Rhea Ripley for the NXT title at Mania. The Wrestling Observer Radio journalist adds that Shayna Baszler will be facing Becky Lynch for the RAW Women's title while Sasha Banks and Bayley are expected to face off for the SmackDown Women's title. He said:

Looking at the card, the other winner was Charlotte Flair, so basically, Charlotte Flair will either face Bayley or Becky Lynch. And I don't know, Becky Lynch is a far more high profile of the two, but they could put Charlotte Flair against Bayley somehow, that would be a letdown, and then go with Shayna Baszler and Becky Lynch. That's a possibility. Shayna Baszler was the last person in, and they pushed her like a monster, so she's clearly going to get a major spot on the WrestleMania card.
And I mean, she also perhaps could face Bayley, if that's the direction they want to go. So yeah, those were the big things. In the Women's Royal Rumble, the ones that they wanted to promote were Bianca Belair, who is going to face Rhea Ripley for the NXT Championship. Shayna and Charlotte Flair, of course, by winning. That was the key stuff on the show.
