Becky Lynch(c) vs. Alexa Bliss: Smackdown Women's Championship
Hope
I don’t know if it’s shown through in my other babblings on this site, but I am a big fan of the Smackdown Women’s Division. It’s stacked, filled with potential, and everyone seems to have a role. You know, the opposite of Raw.
I am also a HUGE fan of Alexa Bliss. She can tell stories with her eyes for days, and she’s rapidly becoming the 3rd best wrestler in her division.
I want to see a cosplay Harley Quinn shooting death stares at everyone from behind her novelty-sized accessory more than I want to see Becky Lynch continue to look unfulfilled even as champion because all her friends are on Raw.
Reality
Becky retains. And I’ll be OK with that if it plays out like this: Continue to build Rocky BalBecky as THE champ. Unstoppable. Bounce everyone in the division off her, while at the same time reintroducing their characters and fleshing them out more.
If they can’t beat Becky, at least the fans will learn more about them as individuals. If it’s not their turn to run head first into the Fire Lass they can have side feuds like Nikki and Carmella. Everybody wins and grows and Smackdown continues to school Raw and Tuesdays MEAN something again.
...and then Asuka shows up and murder-death-kicks the whole company and wins all the belts on both rosters. And then Tuesdays mean EVERYTHING.
