Natalya is trying her best, but she's no match for Becky Lynch on the mic. Monday's duelling promos proved that. Whereas 'The Man' spat barbs aplenty at her one-time friend and said everything with conviction, Nattie responded with the most generic of interviews saying she'd make Becky tap to the Sharpshooter.

Her bit sounded like the kind of promo one might see in WWE 2K19. In other words, nobody believed it.

There's only one result that makes sense at SummerSlam, and it's a clean Lynch victory. She's a hot property right now, has just been announced as a cover star for 2K20 and is lighting up mainstream media wherever she goes. For the first time in forever, WWE have the chance to build a positive female role model for young women who isn't only there to wink at the boys or play second fiddle.

They absolutely cannot ruin that because they fancy booking some sort of unforeseen shock title switch in Toronto. Natalya is fine without the Raw Women's Title, but Becky carries the thing around like a badge of honour. She needs to keep it, otherwise she loses some momentum and lustre.
