10 Times WWE Turned Trash Into Treasure (... And YOU Didn't Notice!)

10. Villainous Sidekick To Scrappy Underdog

While Becky Lynch famously took her career to an entirely different level upon becoming the Man, WWE had quietly given Lynch a major shot in the arm several years before she had her nose busted by Nia Jax and found herself lining up against Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair as WrestleMania 35.

Initially debuting in NXT as a dancing, smiling babyface, Becky turned heel in October 2014, aligning with Sasha Banks and becoming the Boss' lackey. While this villainous persona was certainly an upgrade on the prior babyface act, there was clearly an obvious ceiling for Lynch when positioned as being, for lack of a better term, a sidekick.

Wisely, seeds were eventually sown for some dissension amongst Becky and Sasha, and this came to a head at NXT TakeOver: Unstoppable, where the Irish Lass Kicker faced Banks for the NXT Women's Championship after toppling Charlotte and Bayley to earn that shot.

It was here - as Lynch came up short - where we would really see the Becky Lynch who would eventually land upon the main roster as part of the Women's Revolution; the Becky Lynch who would be forever positioned as the scrappy underdog often in the shadow of the likes of Flair and Banks.

Most importantly, it was this version of Becky Lynch who would ultimately get such a groundswell of support behind her that fans would rebel against a purported SummerSlam 2018 heel turn - which nicely dovetailed into Becky becoming the no-nonsense, ass-kicking, game-changing Man.
