Ex-WrestleMania headliner Becky Lynch could go from key piece of the puzzle to an afterthought. It's difficult to see precisely where 'Big Time Becks' slots into the show(s) this year. Challenging Rhea Ripley is certainly a spot she'd thrive in, but that hasn't been confirmed yet.

Much was made of Becky winning the women's Royal Rumble then trying to cut down Rhea, but Bayley got the nod in the 30-strong match instead. That kinda leaves Lynch rudderless. She also doesn't actually have a valid claim to throwing her name into the hat for a crack at Ripley after failing in Florida.

Creative would need to live up to their name to sell fans on Becky's redemption.

It's achievable, but not without some heavy lifting. That story arc would need to kick off now rather than waiting until after Chamber and hoping Lynch's star power is enough to phone it in for a few weeks heading into 'Mania.
