Carmella will be defending her Smackdown Women’s Championship at Summerslam against Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair. Charlotte was a late addition to the match after she defeated Carmella to earn a spot a few weeks ago.
So where is the storyline between Becky and Charlotte going? What is going to happen in the Smackdown Women’s Title match at Summerslam? Let’s speculate a little bit.
A lot of the talk about this match has to do with Charlotte Flair getting added late. As I mentioned in my bold Summerslam predictions article [read that here], I think this was done deliberately by WWE for a couple of reasons. The first is that it starts some tension between Charlotte and Becky. The second is that it makes Becky winning the Title here more of a surprise.
My speculation is that Becky will be winning the Title at Summerslam by pinning Carmella. Charlotte will hug Becky in the middle of the ring after the match for a nice moment before turning on her. I think this will happen for a couple of reasons:
- The first is that I think Charlotte is much better as a heel.
- The second is that it sets up Charlotte vs Becky for the next few months of PPV events, which I think would be great. Charlotte vs Becky for the Smackdown Women’s Championship could be a great match for WWE Evolution.
- The third is that I think Charlotte will be the heel when she faces Ronda Rousey at Wrestlemania 35. I think Charlotte would get the most heat from turning on Becky.
There is a chance that WWE doesn’t turn either of them and we get a similar situation with what we have with Sasha Banks and Bayley on RAW. My gut says that Carmella is dropping the Title to Becky and Charlotte is turning.
How do you see it playing out? Let us know in the comment section if you agree or disagree.
