According to the Wrestling Observer, Sasha Banks was originally penciled in to leave WrestleMania 32 as the new WWE Women’s Champion until the decision was made to have a Triple Threat Match with Becky Lynch instead of just Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte in a one-on-one match.
WWE felt like having Sasha Banks or Charlotte take a pin at their biggest show of the year wasn’t the best way to handle the newly branded division, which is why Lynch was added to the match.
Right now, Natalya is now the top contender for the Women’s Championship. Many are puzzled by the move, but it’s being said that Nattie was added to the title picture to help build Charlotte up as a dominate champion. WWE have eventual plans to place the Women’s Championship on Sasha Banks by or at SummerSlam later this year. Obviously, take this report with a grain of salt, as plans can change.

It is terrible that Paige isn’t in the title picture.
She is better than all 3 of these women.
And it is amazing how much they are having Paige job to these losers.
Paige received a title shot at 2 recent paper views..
she probably received the biggest push by winning the championship in her debut
she has lead the division for the past 2 years..
her character is stale and needs reworking…
wrestling wise… shes on par with those 3 ladies
she isnt better..
RECEIVING a title shot and WINNING the belt are two different things.
Her look and character are FINE. Best in the division.
She is gold whenever on mic.
She is the best thing going in that division. It’s just that WWE is not pushing her.
You mean Summer Rae is better, or Charlotte? They’re garbage.
Paige is better than Banks or Lynch too – or that midget Bayley.
And you sheep think that WWE doesn’t push someone that automatically means they don’t deserve it – WWE are not Gods – they make bad decisions.
Their treatment of Paige is exhibit 1A.
WWE not pushing someone doesn’t mean they are stale.
Lets not forget now that Paige was pushed for a whilst but had to take
a backseat due to a concussion issue.
I think her look, character, mic work and wrestling skill is subjective to each person and their view on Paige.
So no matter what I say you wont agree and vice versa. So I wont bother arguing, to each their own.
Rather than focus on one segment for our favorite superstars to be in
if you saw lately… WWE is focussing only on Natalya and Charlotte..
.. there are 3 hours on Raw and 2 hours on Smackdown…. and both on recent shows they were only given 10 minutes or less segments… that pisses me off… where is the equality in that???
We live in a changing world.. there is more than enough time on each show to have either 3 or 4 women segments… and to anyone that refutes that –> well on the recent raw wwe had 1 women segment and 8 segments FOR THE MEN.
I think we all want our faves to be on the show.. BUT people forget rather than fighting for our fave for the 1 title picture womens segment… we should fight for more segments, more titles and more storylines for women.
This company is nothing but inequal in GENDER OPPORTUNITIES
Sorry – it’s NOT subjective with me, X2C.
What I say is fact.
Been watching longer than you, bubba.
And your long X2C, “talking down to me,” uppity self-serving, egotistical ramblings, don’t change that.
Not interested in what you think.
And means nothing to me, because I’M right.
Peace.
OK dude wasnt talking down to you
bt whatever you say.. i hope she gets some tv time soon as a jobber probably to make you happy…
Paige peaked to early and is now stale as fuck
The 4 horsewomen are the future and thats a fact
Oh I forgot what you say is fact right… well WWE must miss the facts then because Paige be on Tv tapings recently.. and jobbing on B shows
Dont even… If youve been watching this as long as I have… yall know that Paige doesnt compare shit to Lita or Trish..
Queen of Ravens? Creature of the night? Sit down because your fave is over and is better of as reality TV failed actress
Ill just be like you and proclaim my words as facts.. i mean thats how this works right… please sit down and educate yourself fucking delinquent… served .
Just because WWE isn’t pushing someone, doesn’t mean anything is wrong with them – Paige is awesome on mic and has a great unique look – and works a ring better than anyone in the biz.
WWE makes a LOT of bad decisions.
Think for yourself and don’t let WWE tell you the score.
Lynch and Banks stink.
Hey to each their own.. if you think banks and lynch stink and paige is awesome then good for you… I LOVE ALL 3..
BUT if you saw lately… WWE is focussing only on Natalya and Charlotte..
.. there are 3 hours on Raw and 2 hours on Smackdown…. and both on recent shows they were only given 10 minute segments… that pisses me off… where is the equality in that???
We live in a changing world.. there is more than enough time on each show to have either 3 or 4 women segments… and to anyone that refutes that –> well on the recent raw wwe had 1 women segment and 8 segments involving the men.
I think we all want our faves to be on the show.. BUT people forget rather than fighting for our fave for the 1 title picture womens segment… we should fight for more segments, more titles and more storylines for women.
This company is nothing but inequal in equality.
WWE really ruined the Ascension – they are one of the 3 things in WWE I like – and they ruined them – jobbing to those idiot NXT losers on Smackdown.
I HATE those SAWFT guys – so immature – and when the crowd chants that garbage – OMG I HATE that! So immature and a bunch of people chanting together to feel like part of the gang.
Do these nerds think chicks think it is cool to chant garbage with a sports-entertainer fake fighter? – LOL
It just aggravates me – I hate Danielson and never liked him – but that YES stuff just made me DESPISE him.
But yeah – I like the Ascension’s look. But I worship Demolition and the Road Warriors and consider them #1 and #2 in my all-time greatest tag team list (they need to make a Demolition dvd).
Just think – I love Paige and the Ascension, and WWE has them as jobbers – that says something.
You may be the biggest troll I’ve ever read comments from in my life. LOL
Just don’t like WWE and what they do…..
..if that makes me a “troll”, so be it.
Kinda close-minded though to think you have to be a “troll” not to like WWE though.
Or to like Danielson.
I THINK it’s kinda “trollish” to think everyone has to worship the guy like YOU people do.
I just see nothing about him that is exciting.
Macho Man or Ultimate Warrior – I can see the larger than life personalities of those guys?
Danielson???
pffft
There a re a million guys like him in the indies.
That chant made him what he was.
God bless.
And judging by ratings, there may be one or two people BESIDES me that are turned off by the PG….and WWE’s direction.
Food for thought.
I think its good if they keep Sasha relevant and build her character with some minor feuds the problem is that I don’t think they plan to do that. I think they are going to use her minimally until Summerslam and that’s a mistake.
The big basis for, I think, how the women will proceed from this point rest in the treatment of people outside of the title picture. So if Natalya and Charlotte are going to be feuding for the title for the time being will that be the only Women’s storyline running or will be something be made for Sasha or Becky to do as opposed to just placing them in random matches until it’s their turn to face the champion.
If they strike up that balance than this new movement for the Women will see actual change as opposed to implied change and shift the appeal and investment from the audience
Think it’s about time that Natalya got a title match, though feel the timing is strange especially off the back off Wrestlemania. Lack of consistency will have fans confused…
