HOF'er blasts match change:

Booker T is not happy about Charlotte being factored into the proposed Mania main event match...

"I say we shelve Charlotte Flair for this one. I really think, Charlotte Flair, come on, her legacy is going to be cemented throughout the years. That's just a given! But right now, I honestly, truly think that it's Becky Lynch's time and Becky Lynch needs this more than Charlotte Flair, I think. Becky Lynch needs this spotlight to actually go out and continue to do business. This is Becky Lynch's moment to go out and shine on the biggest stage of them all, and I'm going to tell you right now, there's no other way that you can do that than being in a singles match, one-on-one, mano a mano. Let's go out and see how good Becky Lynch really is," Booker continued. "Let's go out and see how good Ronda Rousey can be, and that's the way I think it should be. I think, this time right here, this WrestleMania, this moment - 2019, it should be Becky Lynch's time. The man in the WWE! That's just the way I see it. Charlotte Flair, come on, she's going to have her time, Charlotte Flair is going to make history making moments. Charlotte Flair has already made history in so many different ways. But right now, like John Cena used to say, 'Your time is up, my time is now.' The time, right now, is Becky Lynch's."

Before going on to talk about how she came back...

"Of course, didn't have the internet and thought I was the most beautiful and most successful woman in the world. It opened my eyes to so many things. I was like, 'I'm gonna let videos get in the way of things?' I thought, what am I doing? I need to be successful for her. My whole journey was supposed to be about inspiring people."
