10 WrestleMania 34 Nightmares That Could Come True

7. Heavy Female Presence Dilutes Title Match Importance

Nightmare: By showcasing a potential five female matches on the card (the mixed tag and a possible Sasha Banks vs. Bayley match included), WWE run the risk of diluting the importance of both the Raw and SmackDown Women's Title bouts. That's not cool when considering how hard Asuka has been pushed on both NXT and the main roster.

Her title win needs the spotlight.

By the time Asuka wrestles Charlotte Flair, fans could have witnessed a female Battle Royal, Alexa Bliss beat Nia Jax, Bayley vs. Banks and Ronda Rousey put Stephanie McMahon in her place. If Asuka vs. Charlotte gets the "death spot" right before the main event, it'll leave many fans unhappy.

Chances Of It Coming True: Sadly, they're pretty high.

Five female matches on the same show seems like overkill. WWE should look back to their own format from 'Mania 32 and see that a single Triple Threat on the main card was enough because it was given time. More matches means less time for the women, and that might hurt their ability to make an impact in New Orleans.

For a match that could headline any pay-per-view, like Asuka vs. Flair is, that's a depressing thought.
