Becky Lynch has not looked like the same woman who once became the first ever SmackDown Live Women's Champion. She was unable to take on most of the other women and lost numerous matches, fading into the background of the SmackDown Women's division. With the arrival of Charlotte and Asuka to SmackDown Live, it appeared as if there was even less scope for the Irish Lasskicker to shine, but as of late she has put to rest any doubts.

Having picked up a series of victories, Becky was given an opportunity to get the title shot she wanted at the SummerSlam pay-per-view. Last week, after Lynch defeated Mandy Rose, the SmackDown Live General Manager, Paige, gave her an opportunity, where if she is able to defeat Carmella in a non-title match on SmackDown, then she would get her title bout against her at SummerSlam.

The non-title match against the current SmackDown Women's Champion is set to take place tonight. Can Becky defeat Carmella, while keeping an eye out for any tricks that James Ellsworth may pull?
