#4 Becky Lynch vs Mickie James
James is transitioning back into the WWE surprisingly smoothly. Becky Lynch is a perfect return feud for her, and again, while it’s packaged in the same “Old Guard vs Women’s Revolution” thing, it’s still a totally new match up, so I’m into it.
James has still got it and carries herself perfectly as a heel vet. Her motivations make sense, she feels like she’s not getting credit for being a badass women’s pioneer and teamed up with the only person she feels gave her the respect she deserves.
It’s not like she’s been there for over a decade solid and all of the sudden noticed someone had more t-shirts for sale at the merch table.
My only problem is that now we have the lone Horsewoman on Smackdown thrown out of the Championship scene and into a fight with someone who she didn’t initially have any beef with. Becky seems like the type who would be amped to learn from a returning vet like Mickie.
But Mickie took the first swing and probably the last. James hasn’t won a WWE sanctioned match since Royal Rumble... seven years ago. She’s definitely due for a singles win and is probably owed one for getting sunk by Asuka first day back.
