So next week, the three women who are facing each other in the main event of WrestleMania are being forced to team with each other against the Riott Squad, and if any of them turn on the other, they lose their title shot.

Six days before WrestleMania.

Just because.

It’s clear that WWE has run out of steam in telling the stories of the Raw Women’s Championship, Intercontinental Championship and Raw Tag Team Championship. The women’s title has peaked, and now we’re just putting them out there in pointless challenges to give the paying customers enough.

As for the IC and tag titles, nothing says “#1 contender” like defeating the existing champs. Yet we saw this on display too, with Aleister Black & Ricochet defeating The Revival twice in the past six weeks. And Balor has been having to fight against Bobby Lashley almost weeks for the past two months. At this point, they won’t have anything left for WrestleMania.
