Becky Lynch is the kind of spitfire babyface that can lose matches and still maintain her popularity with WWE's audience. Therefore (as much as it may raise some eyebrows), the recently-returned Mickie James should defeat Becky at Elimination Chamber, and proceed to brag about her win on next week's SmackDown.

As shocking as wins would be for both heels in the concurrent Alexa Bliss vs. Naomi and Mickie James vs. Becky Lynch feuds, a victory for James truly is a must; coming out of a loss and motivated by the need to prove herself all over again, Lynch would then have a journey of self-reflection to make before WrestleMania.

WWE would have more options if James emerged the victor, too; not only could they spin the yarn of Becky's path back to the top, there's also the possibility of Mickie recognising that she wants what her pal Alexa Bliss has.

Bliss vs. James for the SmackDown Women's Title would be a fine addition to 'Mania - and there's always the chance to shunt both Lynch and Naomi in there too, should WWE want to pack more names on the card.
