Becky Lynch (c) vs. Sasha Banks for the Raw Women’s Championship

Seth Rollins may have lost his title at Extreme Rules, but at least he didn’t lose Becky Lynch’s. The Man will, barring anything catastrophic, enter WWE SummerSlam 2019 as the Raw Women’s Championship.

She is one of the biggest stars in WWE, so the promotion have to find the perfect opponent for her at The Biggest Party of The Summer.

Naomi stands out the most among active women’s wrestlers on Raw who can take on Becky in a big-ticket title match at SummerSlam, but the best possible opponent is currently also taking some time off after WrestleMania.

It’s unclear if there’s even a timetable for Sasha Banks’s return, especially since there are so many conflicting reports regarding her reasons for taking time off. But if Banks returns for SummerSlam, she could be a great opponent for either Bayley or Becky.

The more that I think about it, the more I’d like Bayley and Banks to be separated for a bit. By nature of their work in NXT and their Women’s Tag Team Title victory, their careers will always be closely intertwined. But let’s let Bayley have an epic title reign to herself and instead revisit the Becky vs. Sasha rivalry from the past in NXT and in 2016 on the main roster.

Becky and Sasha are arguably two of the biggest stars in wrestling worldwide, and this match should honestly have a fair shot at main eventing the Pay Per View over Brock Lesnar vs. Whoever.

Technically, this isn’t a dream match since they’ve faced off before and had an instant classic years ago in NXT. But honestly? It feels like a freaking dream match.
