Becky Lynch has changed from swaggering 'Man' to borderline-cowardly champion who'll do anything she can to hold onto her belt. This marked character change has been visible throughout her current feud opposite Doudrop - WWE like the idea of presenting the Scot as physically dominant and a star in the making.

Hopefully, they don't forget that come the weekend.

Doudrop cannot look second-rate next to 'Big Time Becks'. It's vitally important that the challenger looks like she might leave with the Raw Women's Championship before Lynch uses her guile to navigate past another young hopeful. Becky shouldn't follow Charlotte Flair's recent template, in other words.

Charlotte's approach limits the threat of her opponents, and that sucks. If they're not good enough to wrestle her, then why are they even in these matches to begin with? Lynch offers something different, so fingers crossed she's in a giving mood at the Rumble.

Doudrop deserves that.
