#1 Becky Lynch
Becky Lynch was the first female Superstar to win the SmackDown Women’s Championship after winning the multi-woman match at Backlash 2016 to secure her first title win on the main roster. The Man used to play the gimmick of a good-natured babyface back then and since her gimmick was pretty one-dimensional, she got lost in the mix for a while.
She worked on her character before returning to the title picture once again in 2018 and her hard work ensured that she becomes the most popular Superstar of the company by the end of the year. Lynch won her second SmackDown Women’s Championship at the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view and then feuded with the then Raw Women’s Champion, Ronda Rousey.
During that course she defended the title across the world as the rivalry between her and Charlotte made the headlines every month. They locked horns for the title at Super Showdown in Australia and then met in a ‘Last Woman Standing’ bout at Evolution 2018. Lynch’s title reign culminated at TLC 2018 but she had earned the respect of each and every member of the wrestling community by then.
Her last reign as the SmackDown Women’s Champion began at WrestleMania 35 but as the creative team wanted to her to be on RAW, she lost her title to Charlotte Flair soon.
