Becky Lynch has been the biggest breakout star for the company, male or female, since the departure of CM Punk. While she has not stepped away from the ring for good, as CM Punk did, it is safe to say that we won't see the former WWE RAW Women's Champion in the ring for some time. And so, the need of the hour for WWE was to establish that their biggest stars in the women's division- Sasha Banks and Baley were at the same level as the former RAW Women's Champion- Becky 2 Belts.

What can I say? Role Models. #BayleyDosStraps #2BeltzBanks https://t.co/f0TM8xUpZZ

And now, by putting the WWE RAW Women's Championship around Sasha Banks' waist, the company has ensured that Sasha Banks is in the same league as Bayley Dos Straps and well, Becky 2 Belts.

There's even a readymade rivalry awaiting Becky Lynch for whenever she decides to return to the arena again. I just think it'll be a while before she comes back to claim the WWE RAW Women's Championship.
