18 HUGE WWE WrestleMania 36 Predictions You Need To Know
3. Becky Lynch (c) Vs. Shayna Baszler
Who or what has Becky Lynch been during this build?
On the go-home Raw, she teed up a repeat of the WrestleMania 35 main event. It wasn't brilliant (it wasn't then), but she was. She was 'The Man', she was irrefutably the biggest star in the company and she was undeniable as a history-making WrestleMania headliner. In this difficult period for pro wrestling and the world at large, something stirred during this rerun. And then things snapped back to reality.
The empty building was a good visual metaphor for Lynch during this programme. Empty gestures like a giant truck. Empty confidence craic such as the meme shades or the protracted death of her once-deadly Twitter game. Empty and unclear motivation for why she wants Baszler and what she's got about her to get the job done.
'The Queen Of Spades' divisively dominated in the Elimination Chamber, much to the chagrin of a sizeable portion of the audience. Such decisiveness was obviously a shock to the system, but the company has to finish the job now, not least with a recent reminder of Becky's ability to beat the unbeatable in Ronda Rousey. From a wonky set-up, the Raw Women's Division finally has a creative conundrum worthy of follow-through when things are back to normal - who can beat the woman that beat the unbeatable?
Winner - Shayna Baszler
