WWE Hell In A Cell 2022: 10 Nightmares That Could Come True
4. Without Even Pinning The Champ
This old trope.
Would it properly shock anybody reading this if Becky won the belt but didn't beat Bianca to get it? WWE may think it'd protect Belair by having Lynch pin/submit Asuka, but it'd actually leave them with very few options over the summer. Nah, Bianca should hold onto her prize.
WWE can easily pivot Becky and Asuka out of the title mix into a summer-long feud against each other. Or, if that doesn't suit, they can draft in another legend (Trish Stratus?) for a match with Lynch. It'd just be a bit lame if Lynch grabbed the Raw strap without beating the champion.
That's no substitute for building up a fresh new heel who can stare down Belair nose-to-nose and take the title from her in a hot pay-per-view match. Again, Becks doesn't need the title, but Bianca needs WWE to show faith in her as a champion without these constant interruptions.
