One of the most bitter rivalries at the moment is set to produce a championship match at WWE Hell in a Cell. Charlotte Flair will defend her SmackDown women's championship against Becky Lynch. The contender is the one who is playing the role of former friend turned into foe, making things interesting in this feud.
As per the storyline angle, Becky Lynch is the villainous character in the mix. But her huge fan following is preventing her from being so in reality. Despite the heel antics, there is no deficiency of support for her. The audience continues to cheer for her no matter what, which makes her one of the most natural babyface superstars on the roster.
Charlotte Flair is the one who got ill-affected due to this. She is the one receiving significant boos. 'You deserve it' chants is a constant thing whenever Becky is showing up to deliver a beat-down. So it is quite obvious that the current situation is not favouring her at all.
In fact, Hell in a Cell is going to be one of those rare occasions where Charlotte Flair is entering a match as an underdog. Certainly fans might want to hijack the show during the match, chanting for Becky. In turn, this can actually mark the beginning of her second championship reign on SmackDown.
But would this be good for the future of the women's title picture for the blue brand? Probably not. We have got three reasons for you, owing to which Charlotte Flair strongly deserves to hold on to the title after Hell in a Cell.
#1 Becky Lynch's inconsistency
History was made when Becky Lynch became the inaugural women's champion two years ago at Backlash. But what happened next? She ended up having a complete dud run with the championship. A much anticipated lengthy title reign had to end at the hands of The Goddess of the WWE, Alexa Bliss who just entered the main roster fray.
Following that, the creative team did not even bother to hand over the women's championship in the last couple of years. Inconsistency is the biggest reason behind this, which is why there're doubts whether she can deliver a successful title reign or not. No wonder Charlotte Flair has said that she can't win on big nights which matter most.
#2 Trusted shoulder of Charlotte Flair
The Queen on the other hand has proven her consistency with championship reigns. No one has won more gold than her in the past three years, that includes NXT, Divas, Raw and SmackDown. This automatically proves how much the creative team depends on her. She has become the tested shoulder who can deliver under different circumstances.
As far as the fan reactions are concerned, Charlotte Flair will not have any problem encountering the 'Roman Reigns factor', where a babyface continues to receive negative reactions for nothing. The genetically superior athlete has a lioness' heart which can embrace all of these in the most effective way.
Even if things become worse at times, a heel-turn could solve things easily. She has excelled at the villainous gimmick as well as her father, 'The Dirtiest Player in the Game'. Renewal of rivalries against the likes of Naomi or Asuka would be waiting for her, revamping the women's division championship scenario.
#3 Producing a dream match at Survivor Series
It is needless to say that Charlotte Flair vs Ronda Rousey is that one particular match that is a must happen in the WWE. This would be the ultimate culmination of the ongoing women's evolution, a potential main event match for WrestleMania.
But what happens if Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair remain champions from their respective brands at Survivor Series? This could probably prepone the marquee match that is scheduled to happen in 2019.
This is the only PPV of the year where Raw champions go head to head with SmackDown champions. So keeping the titles around their waists is a lock-on for this mouth watering bout.
The early meeting at Survivor Series could set the stage up for a potential WrestleMania showdown between these two. Fallouts always help to build up a long term storyline, and this one should go by that rule, all the way. This makes the stakes even higher for the dream match that could now become a multi-match series.
