#8: Becky Lynch

To those who haven’t followed Becky prior to her time at WWE, her success might seem like it comes out of nowhere.

Though her professional wrestling debut was in 2002, Lynch signed with NXT in April 2013, and debuted in the NXT ring Nov. 2013.

During her tenure with NXT, Lynch participated in highly acclaimed TakeOver matches. In 2015, she participated in a fatal four-way match at NXT TakeOver: Revival with Sasha Banks, Charlotte, and Bayley; later to be dubbed the Four Horsewomen.

Also that year, she competed at NXT TakeOver: Unstoppable for the NXT Women’s Championship against Sasha Banks. The match garnered high praise from critics, professionals, and fans alike. Lynch developed an instant, devoted following.

She debuted on the main rosters as a fan favorite, after Stephanie McMahon made a call for a “revolution” of the Women’s Division, calling-up Lynch, Charlotte and Banks from NXT.

Lynch has competed in the first-ever Divas Beat the Clock Challenge, and competed for the first new version of the WWE Women’s Championship against Banks and Charlotte at WrestleMania 32 in a triple threat match.

She was the first women to be drafted to the SmackDown brand during the 2016 WWE draft, and went on to win the first-ever SmackDown Women’s Championship in Sept. 2016.

She has fought in a steel cage match, as a La Luchadora, was the captain of a Survivor Series team, participated in the first women’s Money In The Bank ladder match, fought in the first women’s Royal Rumble match as the second entrant lasting 30:54, and was in the first WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal at WrestleMania 34.

She’s the current SmackDown Women’s Champion, after defeating Charlotte for the title at Hell In A Cell, earlier this year.

Lynch is set to defend her title against Charlotte at Evolution in a last woman standing match.
