Becky Lynch heel turn — Disaster in the making, but not in the way they expect.

A collision course inside Hell in a Cell looks inevitable, and that should be an excellent match, if not a potential match of the year if it is built right. Despite a lackluster start, SummerSlam gave this feud a ton of fuel, so hopefully, everything works out OK.

A Joe WWE Championship reign would open a lot of new possibilities on SmackDown. It would certainly be the right decision.
