WWE SmackDown: 5 Reasons why Becky Lynch will wrestle twice at Money in The Bank 2019

Why is WWE making Becky Lynch wrestle twice on pay-per-view?
Why is WWE making Becky Lynch wrestle twice on pay-per-view?

I mean, on the surface of it, I know what you guys are thinking. Becky Lynch has two Championships and so, it only makes sense for her to defend them twice on pay-per-view. But there could be a lot to this than meets the eye, like everything else that WWE does. Let's take a more in-depth look at this situation.

So at Money In The Bank 2019, Becky Lynch will first take on Lacey Evans. And then, not long after, she will also take on another member of the WWE roster- Charlotte Flair. Both of her Championships will be on the line during the matches.

Let us analyze why she will be doing so. Feel free to leave a comment and let us know your thoughts and your opinions.

I'm quite curious to hear what you guys have to say as well...


#5 To possibly make Charlotte Flair a 9-time Champion

One of the things that I'm convinced about is that Charlotte Flair will be the woman to break Ric Flair's long standing 16-Championship record soon. And this could be the reason why WWE has not allowed John Cena to break the record yet. Charlotte is already a record 8 time champion, and a 9th win could be coming her way very soon indeed.

If you had to look for the Ric Flair of the women's division, I daresay that nobody fits the bill better than Charlotte Flair does. She's got her father's athleticism and charisma and puts on great matches, elevating her opponents too.But I don't need to tell you why she deserves to be a multi time champion.

So, Lacey Evans may come up short against Becky Lynch. But I'm pretty sure that Charlotte Flair will not.

#4 To make Becky Lynch appear on only one brand henceforth

Becky Lynch made history at WrestleMania 35 when she beat both Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair in what was perhaps the most important match in women's wrestling history. And much like her fellow Irishman Conor McGregor did, she became the proud winner of two championships. She's putting in the hours now, appearing on both WWE brands simultaneously.

As cool as this is to see and as much as her dedication needs to be admired, there's always the danger of burnout. More importantly, there's always the danger that Becky Lynch will be overexposed. We all know how quickly the WWE Universe can turn on a babyface.

WWE does not want this to happen, and therefore, it may make sense for her to lose one of her two titles. Then she'll either become a RAW or a SmackDown Live superstar, following the match.

#3 To keep Charlotte away from the Money In The Bank ladder match

Charlotte Flair has often been described as the Roman Reigns of the women's division. While it may speak of her talent and her work ethic, it also alludes to the fact that she is afforded more opportunities than almost everyone else in the roster.

Now, let's assume that Charlotte Flair was not taking on Becky Lynch at Money In The Bank 2019 for the SmackDown Women's Championship. In all likelihood, it would mean that she would be in the Money In The Bank ladder match.

There will always be the temptation for WWE, if Charlotte Flair is in the match, to have her win the whole thing. Not only is this because she's their golden child, but also because of the heel heat that she generates every time she wins.

That could potentially deprive someone like Ember Moon of a deserving opportunity, however!

#2 To keep Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch apart for the time being

The SmackDown Women's title picture for the greatest part of the previous year was dominated by Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch. The two best friends decided to take women's wrestling to the next level, putting on a bunch of great matches, one after the other. They are responsible for making women's wrestling such a mainstream attraction.

But there comes a time when enough of a good thing can potentially become a bad thing. Charlotte and Becky Lynch can put on great matches until the end of time, but the audience will certainly tire of the same program unless it is freshened up with new faces and challengers. And this is why I think that the two women need to be kept apart for the time being.

They are the Rock and Austin of the women's division. They are bound to clash down the line again, someday very soon indeed.

#1 Maybe to facilitate a surprise cash in

And lest we forget, the event is called Money In The Bank. Which essentially means that earlier in the night a number of women will compete for a contract that allows them to challenge for one of the two titles in the current women's division.

So, let's assume that someone like Sasha Banks makes a big return and she wins the Money In The Bank contract in the match. And simultaneously, let's say that Becky Lynch has beaten both of her opponents in a fantastic Iron Woman performance.

This would allow Sasha Banks to perhaps cash in her contract and win one of the two titles from The Irish Lass Kicker. Let's assume that she wins the SmackDown Championship, which means that it would bring Banks to SmackDown and send Lynch away to RAW.

This could be the final move in the Superstar Shake-Up.
