Ranking All WWE First Time Women's Champions

4. Becky Lynch, WWE Smackdown Women's Champion

Lynch's first emotional reign pattered out leading to fiery comeback years in the making

The Becky Lynch of today is an anomaly, unbelievably rising through the dredge of poor booking of the past two years she has overturned exciting but tone-deaf plans by management to become a supernova among superstars.

This isn't the same Becky Lynch we got at the infancy of the Smackdown Live brand of 2016, thankfully that one wasn't the wasted product after her title reign ended either. Instead the Lynch of 2016 that went on to become Smackdown's first and rightfully women's champion, was the straight firewoman who could be a solid mid to upper-card hand in what is generally a men's division (with too few women, the division lacks any form of a real mid-card).

Clearly now she is 'The Man' and the route to get there lies in her first unfortunate reign, making it an all-important pit stop for her character. It didn't do much for the championship though that has seen an up and down rollercoaster ride until her second clincher this past summer. Instead, Lynch and her reign will forever remain the one that could have and instead might have changed the face of women's wrestling in the WWE.

For what that's worth if the title itself can reach the same destination then it'll definitely shoot up higher than before on the all-time list. Till then the past version of Lynch holds this one down, ironically while 'The Man' currently sets it apart.
