#4 Female Superstar of the Year - Becky Lynch

Like picking the top tag team from 2019, deciding who would win the 'Female Superstar of the Year' award was also pretty easy to predict. While it could have gone to any of the other three nominees - Charlotte Flair, Bayley, or Ronda Rousey - Lynch's ascension was the most pivotal moment of the last year and a half.

Sure, Flair is a ten-time Champ, but how many of those reigns were meaningful in 2019? And although Rousey was a juggernaut up until WrestleMania, she hasn't done anything in WWE since April. Bayley has perhaps had the second-best year as she won the Women's Tag Team titles and the SmackDown Women's Championship two times in 2019.

Ember Moon joined the show once more and was curious about Lynch being able to continue her momentum. The Shenom stated that "she's been on top this past year, but if Becky doesn't have quality opponents, she's going to get stale." It's what happened following Money in the Bank against Lacey Evans. Moon added that "they need to build up competition so she can stay on top." Christian added that he thought she could maintain her momentum because "she's fearless" in both her matches and her promos.
