Ooooooh boy.

Can you imagine the uproar on Twitter if Charlotte Flair locks Ronda Rousey in the Figure Eight and taps her out come WrestleMania? It's not that WWE fans are fiercely protective of Rousey - it's that most believe Flair is over-protected when it comes to crunch title situations.

Realistically, Ronda has to win. The entire story between both women has revolved around Charlotte trying to evade (and latterly come up with a counter punch for) Rousey's feared arm bar submission. If the ex-MMA fighter doesn't pin Flair down and make her squeal like Stephanie McMahon at 'Mania 34, then this match will be considered a wasted chance to humble the 'Queen'.

Also, there are hardly any viable babyfaces waiting in the wings for Charlotte beyond 'Mania. Meanwhile, Rousey would have returning heels like Bayley to work with in the short-to-medium term. It'd suck if Flair left Dallas with the SmackDown Women's Title. If Ronda can't beat her, then who will?
