5 WWE Superstars who should challenge Becky Lynch

Becky Lynch is the hottest thing in the WWE right now. She is the most effective women's performer in the company, and has proven herself time and time again since turning heel at SummerSlam.

Her work has garnered a lot of fan appreciation, and is also received well by WWE officials. She is cutting the best promos on SmackDown Live, and also continuing it on different platforms, including social media.

She recently got into a fight with Seth Rollins on the micro-blogging platform Twitter, along with other superstars, and while some of us may like it, some others may think that she is taking her character a bit too far.

Whether the aforementioned statement is true or not is debatable, but the fact remains that she is fully committed to her character.

Such a powerful heel character with an amazing connection with fans, despite being a heel, calls for some amazing feuds. These 5 superstars could feud with her, and elevate the SmackDown Women's Championship in the process.

#5 Mercedes Martinez

Mercedes Martinez is a decorated superstar, and has performed in promotions all around the world before she made her way to the Mae Young Classic tournament. Her work was loved on the show, and if her move to NXT is any indication, she may be moving from the yellow brand to a main roster show.

If that happens anytime soon, she should be moved to the blue brand where she could elevate herself to the title scene.

This would start a series of fiery promos from two great performers, and would give fans a chance to enjoy something amazing. This feud has potential, and if the company does this, it would be 'best for business'.

#4 Mia Yim

Mia Yim performed exceptionally well at Mae Young Classic, and her performance gave her an NXT contract. WWE COO Triple H offered her the contract after her final match at Mae Young Classic.

We are yet to see her on the yellow brand, but when she does make her in-ring debut in the WWE, one thing is sure, and that is effective performance.

With huge experience, she is definitely one of the best wrestlers in the company, and it would be a great idea to see her move to the blue brand to challenge Becky Lynch for the SmackDown Women's Championship.

This feud would become better if Shelton Benjamin also gets involved in some capacity. He is currently involved in no feud, and we all know that Shelton and Mia share a lukewarm frenemy dynamic on television. This could work well in creating this storyline.

#3 Io Shirai

Io Shirai showed a lot of talent during this year's Mae Young Classic, and was also a part of the final of the tournament. A lot of WWE fans weren't aware of her until her name was announced for the show.

She did make it to the list of competitors for the show, and did exceptionally well. This is why she reached the pinnacle of the show. Her work made a lot of WWE Universe members fans of her work, but while there was a lot of appreciation, there isn't much we have seen of her lately.

If she makes it through the process of WWE Performance Center and NXT, then she must be given an opportunity to perform on the blue brand against the current SmackDown Live Women's Champion. This would be a good fight between two great performers, and the fans would love it.

#2 Asuka

Asuka was an undefeated performer until Charlotte Flair beat her, and the impact of her undefeated streak went away.

She has become obscure over the months, and is known for her bad gimmicks backstage, including being in collaboration with Naomi.

After her loss at WrestleMania, and the current set of jobber roles, she needs a powerful storyline to be back in the title race. If she becomes the #1 contender for the title, she needs to overcome some good performers currently on the blue brand.

The company could start with getting her in a feud with Carmella, then Naomi, and finally anyone from the IIconics.

#1 Kaitlyn

She is the definition of a performer, and make no mistake if I say that on this list she must be the one who challenges Becky Lynch before anyone else.

She got into great feuds during her initial run, and now that she decided to return, it makes sense she gets the opportunity to challenge 'The Lass Kicker' for the championship.

She could return as a mystery opponent after Becky Lynch gets on Paige's nerves, stating that she is the best in the WWE, and also 'The Man'. Paige could ask her to be in the ring for her mystery opponent, and Kaitlyn would show up.

The pop she received during Mae Young Classic would compare nowhere to the one she would get during this entrance. This would be the best way to kick-start Becky Lynch versus Kaitlyn in days to come, and would be 'best for business.'
