Becky Lynch vs Mickie James
How great is it having Mickie James back? The former 6-time women’s champion has returned to the WWE and doesn’t seem like she’s lost a step. Her promo work is as good if not better than it ever has been and her partnership with Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss has been nothing short of brilliant. Being welcomed back by former champion Lynch is a clear indication of where the company feels Mickie already stands.
This is the de facto number one contender’s match. Lynch, as the inaugural champion is still near the top of the heap and James being a locked in hall of famer already, both have a legitimate argument that they’re next in line. This match will also show if Mickie can still hang. The current crop of female wrestlers is better than they were when Mickie had her run from 2005 until 2010 and in Lynch, she’ll undoubtedly have her hands full.
As good as the Irish Lass Kicker is, odds are Mickie is more than ready. Plus it doesn’t make much sense to bring her back just to lose her first big match. Mickie wins and sets up what should be a very entertaining feud with her new friend and future foe, Alexa Bliss.
Winner: Mickie James
