It's only recently that Becky Lynch's career has recovered from a dreadful 2017 and lifeless start to 2018. Before this latest mini-push, Becky was reduced to playing Charlotte Flair's backup again, and SmackDown's writers didn't seem interested in changing that.

Her creative plight didn't stop Lynch from pitching ideas to the same creative team who were sucking the life from her character.

At the ACE Comic Con in Seattle recently, Becky revealed that she's been lobbying for WWE to create Women's Tag-Team Titles for around two years now. The most interesting thing here is that Lynch doesn't want the belts to be brand-exclusive. Instead, she believes they'd be better if they encapsulated Raw, SmackDown and NXT.

Thus far, WWE management haven't taken Becky up on her plans. She does make a good point though; seeing main roster champions show up to challenge fresh faces on NXT would inject the women's division with some more excitement.
