How could we forget about the heel turn of arguably the hottest talent in WWE right now?! The Relent-Lass, Becky Lynch, was the first female to be drafted to Smackdown Live during the 2016 Draft and was also the first-ever Smackdown Women's Champion.

Ever since she lost the title to Alexa Bliss later that year, Lynch was stuck in the mid-card. Despite her impressive in-ring talent, Becky Lynch was overlooked in favor of the likes of Carmella, Naomi and recently Charlotte Flair.

Cody Rhodes' uncle is a WWE Hall of Famer. More details HERE.

After losing to Charlotte at Summerslam, Becky snapped and took her anger upon Charlotte and proclaimed herself to be the best. She backed up her words with a career-defining title win over Charlotte, thus basking in her new-found persona of a Stone-Cold esque character.

With crowd firmly behind her, Becky has become the most-sought after superstar in the WWE after becoming the first female to top the ESPN WWE Power Rankings. Her punishing beatdown of Ronda Rousey reiterated the WWE official's view of Becky Lynch being the new face of the women's division.

With images of a bloody-yet-cocky Lynch instilled into the minds of the WWE audience, WWE would be proud of this heel turn, which will be remembered for a very long time!
