Becky Lynch’s pregnancy announcement broke the 4th wall and gave a lot of us that warm and fuzzy feeling. But the WWE is still a business and the show must go on.
Becky will likely be out of action for a year plus and there are plenty of talented contenders for her number 1 spot. So don’t let the friendly narrative that a lot of the women put out there fool you.
It is still a competition and I’m sure more than one person who wanted Becky’s spot .. I was quite happy to hear that she will be out of the way for a while. In their mind, Becky just voted herself off the island, so they have a much better chance of winning the grand prize now.
But we know how the WWE works, they always look to the past, not the future. So expects another long title reign from Charlotte, who will probably make her triumphant return from NXT, so she can be shoehorned into Becky’s #1 spot.
So who has what it takes? Here are the contendersÂ
Asuka
Zelina Vega
Becky Lynch
Bianca Belair
Billie Kay
Kairi Sane

Ruby Riott
