This past week on RAW we didn't see a women's match. Considering the push that the women's division has been getting recently this could've been a bad thing, but it was far from that. What we got instead was a glimpse at a women who has her eyes set on the top prize in the game.
When Becky Lynch first came up to RAW she was shunted to one side in favour of Nikki Bella, Charlotte and Paige. This was until about a month ago when Charlotte started teasing a heel turn which has eventually culminated in her turning on her former best friend. The storytelling in this feud has been the best it's been in the women's division in a while and it's refreshing to see it play out.
There has been increasing pressure on WWE from all sides to put more focus on the women in WWE and this feud could be the beginning of that. Originally Lynch was seen by most as a stepping stone for bigger things for everyone else but Becky is proving that she's way more than that. Due to the injuries to Nikki Bella, Paige and, depending on who you want to believe, Sasha Banks, the WWE have put Becky in the title picture and she has thrived, putting passion and fire into everything she does, from her promos to her in ring action and even her entrance.
Right now WWE are lacking both top Heels and Babyfaces. Cena, Rollins, Bryan and Orton are all out for the foreseeable future so this gives WWE an opening to push one of the women to the top. Becky has the potential to be a top Babyface in the company with her personality and her looks while Charlotte has all the ability to be like her father and be a top despicable Heel.
Personally I would turn Charlotte full on Heel at the Royal Rumble. They could do that by either having her blatantly cheat to win against Becky (WITHOUT the help of her father as his presence simply takes away from Charlotte's ability to stand on her own two feet) or, my preferred choice, have Becky win the title and have Charlotte completely destroy her afterwards. Doing it this way means that everybody wins. Becky gains momentum as a face, Charlotte gains a ton more heat and this can all help to build towards a massive match at Wrestlemania 32.
Injuries are something you would never wish on a company but the WWE can use this opportunity to their advantage. People won't stop calling for a push in the women's division and with the card looking lacklustre to say the least at Wrestlemania 32, having a huge feud between Becky Lynch and Charlotte that culminates at Wrestlemania could be gold for everyone.
