One has to question how much gas there is left in Bianca Belair vs. Becky Lynch. WWE protected that by having Asuka take the fall at HIAC, but Belair desperately needs some fresh faces to work one-on-one with here. The Becky business feels old hat now.

Enter one Rhea Ripley.

Edge may look to reward Rhea for putting her body on the line for him during Sunday's six-person tag, and manipulating Adam Pearce into giving her a Raw Women's Title shot would work there. If WWE don't fancy that, then they could always have Asuka lose her sh*t again and turn heel.

Either way, let's get 'EST' away from 'Big Time Becks' for a spell. Being honest, it'd be best for everyone if someone like Ripley or Asuka (heel Asuka, that is) takes the belt away from Bianca eventually. The reigning champ shouldn't be having some hundred years war with Lynch - it'll get boring.
