5 things WWE subtly told us on RAW: Lesnar's future revealed, Big heel turn after 3.5 years (August 12th, 2019)

#3. Becky Lynch finally gets a legitimate challenger

Sasha Banks is back!

It feels as though Becky Lynch had really lost some steam in between after having the greatest run of any woman in the last year or so. Similar to Seth Rollins, the issue with her title reign was the fact that there weren't any challengers that fans believed would legitimately be able to beat her.

With all due respect to Lacey Evans, who is a future champion and Natalya, who is a veteran, they simply weren't on the level of Becky Lynch after she came off rivalries against the likes of Charlotte Flair, Asuka and Ronda Rousey. We mentioned yesterday that the Women's division required a much-needed boost in Banks and that's exactly what they got on the RAW after SummerSlam when The Boss returned, attacked Natalya and took off her wig - revealing a new blue hair colour.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

She also attacked Becky Lynch when she came out, making it clear that she's next in line for the title. We're finally getting a heel Banks after over 3 and a half years and it's long overdue. Sasha Banks is known to be a better heel and this could be the edgy kind of fued that the RAW Women's division has desperately needed.
