10 WWE WrestleMania 35 Card Predictions After SummerSlam 2018

2. Raw Women's Title: Charlotte Flair (C) Vs. Ronda Rousey

This clash has already been mentioned as a potential 'Mania headliner, which makes sense. WWE should, theoretically, put the their biggest stars in the biggest matches, and they don't have a more prominent mainstream name than Ronda Rousey. On top of this, Charlotte Flair is the Women's Revolution's franchise player. For better or worse, she's the wrestler WWE have always built around, continue to build around, and will keep building around for the foreseeable future. Her spotlight is as guaranteed as Rousey's, and headlining is a real possibility.

Charlotte currently resides on SmackDown. A brand switch would be required, but that's something WWE could easily pull off after her storyline with Becky Lynch runs its course. From there, 'The Queen' may snatch Rousey's belt by pinning someone else in a multi-women match, and the chase would be on.

There's an argument to be made that Rousey should face a smoother in-ring performer like Bayley or Sasha Banks, but who could possibly doubt her after the start she's made? Ronda is as natural a rookie as we've ever seen in this sport. She performed minor miracles with Nia Jax at Money in the Bank, and it's scary to think how good she could be eight months from now.
