The idea of Bianca Belair and Becky Lynch clashing in a match that lasts longer than the blink of an eye should make fans ecstatic. The same fans who felt they were robbed of a match between two exceptional performers at WWE SummerSlam last month.
The same fans that are still wondering why Becky Lynch returned with the crowd in attendance losing their minds, to turn heel for no rhyme or reason. The same fans who felt that Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks would have had the "match of the night," if plans hadn't changed in such spectacular fashion.
So, with that prelude, let's look at five ways Becky Lynch vs. Bianca Belair could go down. Be sure to leave a comment and let us know your thoughts about this major showdown. Also, comment on the rhyme of the previous two statements.
#5 Naomi sides with Becky Lynch to take down Bianca Belair and make Sonya Deville pay attention
One of the more compelling storylines on SmackDown has been the one between Sonya Deville and Naomi. The latter believes that she is owed a big match while the former is too busy with her managerial responsibilities to pay heed.
Exasperated to the point where Naomi believes that there is no hope for her, she may choose to align with Becky Lynch. It makes sense to side with the WWE SmackDown Women's Champion, who is already a made woman. Or a made 'man', in this case.
Naomi may cost Bianca Belair a match she has in the bag. It could result in a heel alliance at the top of the WWE SmackDown women's division that lasts for many months.
#4 Bianca Belair wins the match clean
Bianca Belair defeating Becky Lynch is not an outcome too many fans would be against, especially at this point in time. Belair is one of the few female performers on the roster that the company has invested time and effort building, and this could be her getting her comeuppance at long last.
She may be on her own, against the wall, but fans can watch Bianca Belair shine with her impressive strength and athleticism in a match that goes longer than SummerSlam (one can hope), where the already established Becky Lynch creates a new star.
#3 Becky Lynch wins the match clean
Bianca Belair has done it all, but Becky Lynch could be the one piece of the puzzle that just doesn't fit, irrespective of whatever she tries.
Becky Lynch could beat her over and over again to the point where Bianca Belair loses her confidence.
And then, at a massive stage like WrestleMania, Bianca Belair could finally get her big win back, once and for all. Long-term storytelling can be a wonderful thing!
#2 Sasha Banks returns to cost Bianca Belair her match
When Bianca Belair fights Becky Lynch at Extreme Rules, we could hear a familiar theme song play in the closing moments of the big match. Enter Sasha Banks, who's been off the show for a while now.
Reports have emerged that Sasha Banks is medically cleared to compete, which could precipitate her return to action.
She still has a bone to pick with Bianca Belair, so she could return to cost the 'EST of WWE' her big moment, taking her out of the title picture for some time!
#1 Becky Lynch cheats to win the match to reinforce her character
Man (no pun intended), it's just tough to root against Becky Lynch, isn't it? She is arguably the most popular character in the entire WWE women's division - then, now, and one may even argue, forever.
Remember that while the pay-per-view may be called Extreme Rules, this is just a regular match. Therefore, for Lynch to bend and twist the rules would be a heel move!
