Best and Worst of SmackDown Live After SummerSlam

#1 Worst: Miscasting two central characters

Nobody's ever going to root against Becky Lynch

I've been fortunate enough have conversed with Becky Lynch during a media teleconference ahead of the Women's Royal Rumble. Lynch comes across as a genuine, sweet and lovable person, whom one simply cannot root against at all. Those of you who read my 'Best and Worst' of SummerSlam know I said I liked the Becky Lynch heel turn. But now, I'm having second thoughts.

Becky Lynch is going to have an incredible promo on Smackdown speaking about her mistreatment the last couple of years and I can not wait. People say its a heel turn but I don't think it will stick. WWE has another thing coming if they think people will boo Becky over Charlotte.

There is no earthly way that an audience will boo Lynch and cheer for Charlotte Flair; especially a crowd like Brooklyn. I think that while Becky Lynch's heel turn was fantastic, she will come across as the hero in this program, even if she blames the crowd for all her misfortunes.
