Bayley (c) vs. Sasha Banks [SmackDown Women’s Championship]

As reported by Tom Colohue, Bayley vs. Sasha Banks is the plan for WWE WrestleMania 36 since it’s the only big money match on the SmackDown roster. Whether they remain friends or become bitter enemies by the time WWE WrestleMania 36 comes around, it is definitely a match the majority of the WWE Universe wants to see on such a big stage.

There is no need for Sasha Banks to play second fiddle to Bayley any longer. She is the only Horsewoman who has not yet captured a significant victory at WrestleMania, and her crowning moment needs to occur this year before it’s too late.

Prediction: Sasha Banks

Becky Lynch (c) vs. Shayna Baszler [Raw Women’s Championship]

Shayna Baszler is currently scheduled for an Elimination Chamber Match that will determine Becky Lynch‘s opponent for the Raw Women’s Championship at WWE WrestleMania 36. As can be indicated by her recent vampire bites, it is inevitable that she will win that Elimination Chamber Match and become Becky’s official opponent at WWE WrestleMania 36.

This match was teased since WWE Survivor Series 2019 when Lynch attacked Baszler after their champion vs. champion vs. champion triple threat match. Many thought Baszler would win the Royal Rumble to challenge Lynch, but it seems the WWE took an alternative route to making sure this match occurs at this year’s WrestleMania.

Considering that Lynch has held the Raw Women’s Championship since last year’s WrestleMania and is rumored to take time off after WWE WrestleMania 36 with Seth Rollins, expect her to drop the championship to Baszler. Considering that Baszler is potentially done with NXT and is looking to make an impact on the main roster, this victory would also be a neat passing of the torch moment for her as she kicks butt and takes names.

Prediction: Shayna Baszler

Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Charlotte Flair [NXT Women’s Championship]

While the Queen of Spades was the betting favorite to win this year’s Royal Rumble, the Queen, Charlotte Flair, was the dark horse who actually won the Women’s Royal Rumble and challenged Rhea Ripley for the NXT Women’s Championship. Like Lynch-Baszler, the Charlotte-Ripley rivalry shows how invasive and effective NXT has been on the road to WrestleMania this year.

Many may expect Ripley to retain the championship since it seems unlikely for Charlotte to move back to the NXT brand. However, considering that Charlotte has inadvertently exhausted and over exposed most of her rivalries with everyone on the main roster, she would have fresher rivalries in NXT and a victory at WWE WrestleMania 36 to force that transition to the yellow brand should not be out of the question.

Prediction: Charlotte Flair
