The stage is set for Charlotte Flair to become SmackDown's biggest babyface female star. Behind Charlotte (in popularity, at least) is Naomi, and that leaves poor Becky Lynch on the outside looking in. This is a complete change to last year, when the flame-haired Irish gal was the brand's premier goodie.

Now, Becky is just sort of there and working matches without any real context. That cannot be allowed to continue, because her talent is clear for everyone to see. Over on Raw, Lynch could work a nice program with Nia Jax or Emma. Even putting her up against Sasha Banks, should 'The Boss' turn heel upon winning the title from Alexa Bliss, would be fun.

On SmackDown, things are less exciting. What is Becky going to do for SummerSlam? She's already faced Natalya and Carmella recently, so it looks like Lynch won't be on the main card. That's tragic for someone who works so hard and has knocked everything handed to her out of the park.
