#6. Ronda Rousey vs. Becky Lynch - WWE Survivor Series 2018

Post-WrestleMania 34, WWE made sure that the RAW Women's Division was centered around their hottest acquisition, Ronda Rousey. It made a lot of sense, especially given how things turned out.

Meanwhile, Becky Lynch had a little momentum, but she quietly picked up the best winning streak on SmackDown in 2018. It led to a SmackDown Women's title shot against Carmella at SummerSlam. Charlotte Flair returned and stole her thunder. The Queen was added to Carmella and Lynch's SummerSlam match, making it a triple threat contest. Charlotte even won the SmackDown Women's Championship, as a result.

This led to WWE turning Becky Lynch into a heel. Unintentionally, this move made her the biggest babyface in the company. She defeated Charlotte Flair to win her second SmackDown Women's Championship and was scheduled for a dream clash against RAW Women's Champion Ronda Rousey at Survivor Series 2018.

On the RAW before Survivor Series, Nia Jax legitimately punched Becky Lynch. Lynch suffered a concussion and a broken nose, and she was pulled out of the match against Rousey. Charlotte Flair replaced her, but the lasting image of Becky Lynch standing tall in the crowd with a bloodied face made her the hottest star in the company.

That moment served to benefit her in the long run, as WWE was convinced that Becky Lynch was the woman to take the company forward. She went on to become the first woman to headline WrestleMania alongside Rousey and Flair. Lynch defeated both of them at the event to become a double Champion.
