#1.Becky Lynch

Who else was going to top the list? Becky Lynch was overshadowed by the likes of Charlotte, Asuka, Alexa Bliss and Carmella throughout 2017 and the first part of 2018, but it all changed at SummerSlam 2018 when Lynch snapped and viciously assaulted her then best friend, Charlotte.
Lynch then won the SmackDown women's title from Charlotte at Hell in a Cell and successfully defended it against the Queen on a couple of occasions, including the Last Woman Standing match at Evolution. Lynch's promo skills improved considerably and she made veterans like Edge look weak through her incredible promos. Many would consider her as the female version of Stone Cold or even Conor Mcgregor, who recently offered help to her. She even started to refer to herself as 'The Man' to which many fans happily obliged.
Lynch's popularity has been such that the fans preferred her over fan favourites like Charlotte and Ronda Rousey. Lynch is still the women's champion and is officially the breakout star of 2018.
