#4 Becky Lynch: 2018

More fans than Charlotte

Now while Becky Lynch is just really likeable as a babyface, which is what many say is why her heel turn failed, this one just really suffered from really odd booking by WWE.

Before this past SummerSlam, Becky Lynch had been the most popular women's wrestler on Smackdown, yet hadn't had a WWE Women's Championship match in just about a year and a half, and SummerSlam was finally her time.

WWE then decides to add Charlotte to the match, who, although popular in her own right, was nowhere near as popular as Becky. Yet WWE still decides that Charlotte should not only take away Becky's hard-earned moment, but the one who is right in all this when she very clearly wasn't.

Becky was booked as an underdog the whole way leading to the match, and Charlotte was dividing the room. Strangely, upon Becky's post-match attack on Charlotte at SummerSlam, WWE expected her to be booed, and Charlotte be portrayed as the victim. But reality struck here, and fans stayed loyal to Becky, cheering every assault on the new Champion.

We got some more colorless booking from WWE on the following Smackdown when Becky had to cut the usual deluded heel promo, which is beyond stale and was so obvious, fans cheered her even more.

To date, one wrong has been righted as Becky Lynch is now the new Smackdown Women's Champion. Alas unfortunately for WWE, reception towards Charlotte, the supposed face in the program, is still lukewarm at best, and things don't look like they will change.

No matter how dirty and underhanded Becky becomes, the more she gets cheered. Doesn't it sound familiar? Oh Hell Yeah!
