8 Current WWE PPV Records You Won't Believe

8. Becky Lynch Only Has One PPV Win Since Winning The SmackDown Women's Championship

Thought I’d start with this fact as it’s the one that actually inspired me to write the article. While adapting the Great Man Michael Sidgwick’s Women in WWE editorial the other day I found myself using Becky as a frame of reference for one of the points.

Namely, that she’d managed to position herself as a hugely popular figure in the company without the company itself actually doing anything to encourage that. She’s found herself the best positioned challenger for Carmella at SummerSlam without ever getting anything even resembling a push.

In fact, since she originally won the SmackDown Women’s Championship way back in September 2016, she’s only picked up one other win on PPV. And that was against Mickie James during that whole La Luchadora angle. There can’t be many wrestlers who’ve competed for the top title at SummerSlam on such a negative run.
