The anchor of the SmackDown women's division since the 2016 brand split, Becky Lynch furnished the league with countless good-to-great matches even when her character suffered from a criminal lack of focus.

As the inaugural blue brand champion, she was rightfully selected as the most reliable steward as NXT newbies and under-qualified draftees rose around her. Her electric performances during the rise of 'The Man' in 2018 met with deserved critical acclaim ahead of her making all kinds of history the following year.
