Becky Lynch is set to attend the WWE Money In The Bank pay-per-view.

"Attend," not "appear at" - PWInsider was sure to make the distinction, possibly because Lynch heavily teased appearing at WrestleMania night one via some acrostic tweets that turned out to be a mischievous spot of fun.

Or were they?

Was Becky playing the long-term double bluff to guarantee a few more decibels for the surprise pop?

She's one of pro wrestling's more intelligent players, and rumours surfaced a few weeks back that she was training with former NXT Women's Tag Team Champion Indi Hartwell ahead of a prospective return.

For many WWE fans despairing at the sheer, abject state of both main roster women's divisions - in addition to the prevailing vibe of inessential, repetitive tedium - such a development would be welcomed. Worryingly, even if Lynch does return to action on Sunday, the crisis is such that there few if any fresh, top-level heels positioned to work anything resembling a major programme with her.

Rhea Ripley is the RAW Women's Champion, but her creative direction has torpedoed her credibility. Beyond that, there's Charlotte Flair, which counts as fresh only when measured against WWE's curve.

Becky Lynch Vs, Toni Storm would probably rule, mind.
