Becky Lynch has been telling anyone who'll listen that she's far from disappointed about not headlining 'Mania twice in a row. In fact, 'The Man' is too busy looking forward to a stiff match with ex-NXT bad apple Shayna Baszler to concern herself with card placement.

This writer, however? Well, he's very concerned with card placement, and he thinks that Becky vs. Shayna should go on first this Saturday night. It makes total sense; WWE need a match that'll set the tone for the rest of the weekend, and they need to make sure that all three women's matches are spread out evenly across both nights.

Plus, opening 'Mania is hardly a slap in the face to either woman.

It's a great spot, and it's one they can use to tear the house down and show everyone who follows what can be achieved even in an empty, weird setting for such a major pay-per-view. Watching Shayna beat the snot out of Bex (and take her title) first sounds pretty good.
