Becky Lynch's title reign should progress via a vast array of superstars. This includes those who have barely made a mark on WWE's main roster. Toni Storm is one such name. Despite only debuting on SmackDown last month, she has incredible potential.

There isn't a better way to establish Storm as a viable contender than to give her a competitive title match against The Man. This could come at a B-level pay-per-view after a few months of properly building her up. She doesn't even need to beat Lynch to look great.

Becky Lynch and Rhea Ripley have unfinished business with each other. The two had a solid match on NXT in 2019, although it ended in a no-contest. Lynch and Ripley could run it back, provided the latter gets drafted from RAW to SmackDown.

The potential dynamic between The Man and Bianca Belair could be repeated here, with the Australian's brute strength. Rhea Ripley is a solid option to dethrone Becky Lynch as the SmackDown Women's Champion, whenever that may be.
