5, 4, 3, 2, 1... BUZZ.

And suddenly we're all watching Scooby-Doo WrestleMania Mystery! with Malcolm Bivens. Probably more entertaining than the Kickoff Show at least.

Dakota is in a weird place in that she has been ready for the main roster for a while but still has plenty to do in NXT, having never touched the Women's Championship. Not everyone gets to sit at the head of the table, of course, but she'd do a great job - and there's immense storytelling potential with her and Raquel Gonzalez. Another guest Rumble spot might be the best she can hope for for now.
