If you are a fan of Becky Lynch, you know that she hasn’t been on the receiving end of great booking over the past year or so. That was true up until the last few weeks on Smackdown Live, where she has been piling up wins. Over the past few weeks, Becky has defeated Billie Kay, Sonya Deville, Charlotte Flair and Peyton Royce.
So what is this all leading to?
My personal speculation is that WWE is building up Becky towards a Title shot at Summerslam. She won’t be involved in anything at Extreme Rules but it looks like they will put her into the Smackdown Women’s Championship mix afterward.
It would make sense too. Why else build her up so strongly over the past several weeks? This is clearly leading to something.
They could do Becky vs Carmella for the Smackdown Women’s Championship if they wanted. That would require Asuka to come up short again at Extreme Rules.
My personal choice would probably be Asuka vs Becky Lynch at Summerslam for the Title. They could also mix in Charlotte Flair and Carmella into the fold if WWE wants more names involved.
Regardless, it looks like it is currently Becky’s time to shine and this is an exciting time to be a fan of the ‘Irish Lasskicker’. I expect her to be involved heavily in the Title picture over the next few months.
On a related note, here are our early Summerslam predictions.
Agree or disagree with me?
