It's easy to forget that she actually did win the SmackDown Women's belt already, actually being the first TO win it.. But as we all know, it's been slim pickings since for Becky Lynch. That said... She's strung some wins together, to the point that she's tapped out almost literally the whole division in the last couple of months (only Naomi and Lana remain), and is currently on the longest TV win streak of her entire WWE run. It's all lining up perfectly for her to finally reclaim the gold, and on a major show to boot in SummerSlam.
The question, therefore... Does she do it? It's really up in the air. There's the possibility Carmella retains, of course, but then she's left with no face challengers other than Naomi and Lana. And while Lynch may have beaten all her possible heel challengers on the way up, it takes on a different complexion when they step up their game to the champion. Not to mention possible face challengers like Flair and Asuka.

Yeah, I think Lynch takes the title and defends against her Tea-Generation X partner Charlotte. All of the title matches need to be huge elite level matches, so I figure Becky beats Mella at Summerslam, beats her again in the September PPV, and they set up Charlotte vs. Becky as the best of the best Smackdown has to offer.

Evolution is a big factor here.
They need girls who can tear the house down main eventing. Carmella ain't it.
I think she'll win it. And if not, it's Charlotte time. Again.

I really want her to win it again. It's been a long time since I cared this much about a title chase.
They've really been putting her over lately on commentary, so either she wins and THE LASSHOOD DREAM COMES TRUE or Charlotte costs her the match and turns heel.

I hope so! I love Becks and it’s about time she got the strap again. One of the hardest working girls in the company, likeable, over, I’m surprised she hasn’t had the title more than she has.
She got Carmella to put her working boots on last night as well.

They should recreate the entire HHH/HBK summer 2002 feud with Becky/Charlotte. Becky: "IT WAS YOU, CHARLOTTE!" *Charlotte smirks* "YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT IT WAS ME!"

It's fantastic that we have a women's competitor who's genuinely massively over with EVERY crowd. And the pop when she taps people out is getting bigger by the week.
I know in wrestling you "always leave 'em wanting more", but sometimes, you just gotta pull the trigger on a hot babyface.

It's amazing how over she is and how much sense it would be to get to title off Carmella and onto her and how the WWE will ignore all of that and have Carmella retain at Summerslam...

I'm thinking Becky wins. From there, potentially, you get Carmella losing to Asuka finally. Becky faces Charlotte, and the victor possibly loses the championship to Asuka finally.

She kinda has to, otherwise she's dead in the water. Not to mention that Carmella's out (Ellsworth) is apparently storyline gone

For all the jokes we've made about the PPV, I'm almost certain that it's responsible for Asuka being built back up last night and will be responsible for getting the title off Carmella.
I'm all for it.

If nothing else it'd be kind of funny to see life imitate newLEGACYinc.
Can't wait until Becky loses the title to the Mother of the Year Bayley.

100% yes.
I like Carmella, but she's had her little run now. She worked two PPV's with the best worker on the roster and they were disappointing, its now time to pull the trigger on Becky. The crowd was so hot for her during the MITB match. Plus it sets up the Charlotte heel turn, and Becky vs Charlotte at Evolution which is the best feud they have, Charlotte then as a heel will eventually go onto Rousey at Mania.

SD cannot seriously go into this women's PPV with Carmella as champion, so yes Becky has to win this. Don't overthink it. Don't try to "draw heat." Just let the babyface stand tall this time. And for god's sake no stupid Ellsworth return to shock everyone again at the PPV.

WWE has made it abundantly clear that these days you are always literally just one win away from a title opportunity...look at Roman losing to Lashley at Extreme Rules and now in the main event at Summerslam as the most recent example. It's so unbelievably stupid, but's it's how the WWE operates.

If Becky doesn't win, I will rain furious vengeance down.
There will be the silliest of threads unleashed like a fearsome demon army!

Why the heck not? A proper Becky/Charlotte feud would be a nice bonus, given how quietly important their 2015/16 feud was to the success of the women's revolution.
