10 Things We Need To See Post-WWE Summerslam 2022
10. Bring Back The Man
SummerSlam got off to a feel-good bang teasing Becky Lynch’s face turn, and her appearance on Raw solidified it. Big Time Becks hasn’t been a disaster by any means; Lynch has worked her socks off to sell it, and it’s helped elevate Bianca. The crowds, though, want to cheer Becky, and it seems like WWE is finally going to allow it.
Lynch was written off TV Monday night, which means her return down the line will have even more babyface momentum. There’s a ready-made feud with Bayley, which not only makes storytelling sense, but gives someone else the chance to occupy the title scene for the time being.
Then, on the blue side of the divide, there’s a certain Baddest Woman In The World with whom The Man has unfinished business. Becky and Ronda reverting to their more natural face and heel personas was an easy creative choice to make, and their major singles showdown is a proper money match.
If anything, Lynch’s in-ring work has been even better since she returned from maternity; capitalise on the post-injury oomph and that 2019 magic could be revived. She doesn’t need to be The Man, per se - just the tweener hero we still love.
