#4. Hope is true: Becky Lynch's fate at WrestleMania 36

Becky Lynch's WrestleMania 36 opponent appears to be the 2-time NXT Women's Champion Shayna Baszler. After The Queen of Spades viciously attacked her on RAW, not only is she getting the biggest push in the RAW Women's division, but she could even end Becky Lynch's year-long title reign, according to Tom Colohue:

It’s definitely possible and I personally think it’s likely that Shayna Baszler will come out of WrestleMania as the RAW Women’s Champion.

He mentioned how Triple H said in a conference call that Shayna Baszler is still technically an NXT talent - similar to how Rhea Ripley appears on RAW and NXT. However, the only way to cement Baszler as a RAW superstar is to have her become RAW Women's Champion:

There’s no one else left for Becky, at this point, by WrestleMania, we are talking about a year-long title reign. There are sub-sections of the fanbase who are starting to turn and starting to think that she’s over pushed. One way to sort of re-achieve parity is to have her lose at WrestleMania.

We hope this is true because it's the right stage to end a historic title reign. Becky Lynch will remain the top babyface of RAW but she can instantly create a big star in Shayna Baszler by putting her over at the grandest stage of them all.
