WWE Draft 2017: 10 Trades To Expect
5. Becky Lynch To Raw
She might be one of SmackDown’s most popular wrestlers, but Becky Lynch is stuck in a weird limbo at the moment. Though still featured in the title hunt, Becky hasn’t looked close to regaining the belt lately, and Alexa Bliss and Naomi look to be the brand’s primary focus at the moment. Where once it looked like Lynch would become the show’s female ace, she's now just another competitor, and there’s a great chance she’ll be on the move next Monday.
Raw would need to compile a compelling trade offer to get hold of Lynch, who might be the most technically fluid women’s wrestler in the company. She’d have instant chemistry with fellow Horsewomen Sasha Banks, Charlotte, and Bayley, and would mesh well with the likes of Emma. Acquiring her should be a huge boon, and while it’d likely mean one of Raw’s major players going the opposite direction, it’s something WWE are surely considering at the moment.
With Naomi as champion, Becky won’t be working any SmackDown Women’s Title programs anytime soon. Expect her to be one of the first names traded next week, and for Becky to be pushed back towards the spotlight immediately after.
