Women who defined wrestling: Post 2015

#1 Becky Lynch

She is guiding the entire women's division to a position they have never reached before

Becky Lynch is the most over wrestler right now. Some wrestlers fail to achieve even half of the prominence she has achieved in the last 4-5 months.

Her comparison with Stone Cold does not even begin describing the reaction she receives from the crowd; it feels like she has just returned after defeating Thanos single-handedly.

There was no doubt about her in-ring talent, but the way she sold her feud with Charlotte via those promos just added the last piece of the puzzle, as she became 'The Man' and forced the entire locker room (including men) to step behind her.

Her popularity could be clearly seen at the 1000th episode of SmackDown where she insulted Edge, and the crowd was still cheering her. Furthermore, she also made the crowd boo the overwhelmingly favourite Ronda Rousey a couple of months later.

Nobody can get away after insulting the Rated R Superstar and the Baddest Woman on Planet, but I guess Becky is living in a totally different dimension.

Lynch excelled in her role as an adorable babyface, and surprisingly exceeded all expectations as a heel. Her ring work has also improved with time.

She is guiding the entire women's division to a position they have never reached before, which can be clearly seen on a weekly basis by the number of times she is present in the main event segment of SmackDown, which was a rarity for women.

Lynch is defining wrestling on her own terms, and going by her words, she will continue to do that for the foreseeable future.
