#3.) Becky Lynch

Though she’s no longer on SmackDown, she was the most important female superstar on the blue brand for all three years, whether or not she was overshadowed by Charlotte Flair. Since she was the first female draft pick in 2016, it felt as though she was destined to succeed. When she became the first SmackDown Women’s Champion, the path seemed clear…or so we thought.

Her destiny was to be fulfilled, but it would only happen after a couple of years of zig-zags and many downs before the ups came about. It was in the summer of 2018 that she would have her turning point and from then until WrestleMania 35, she ended up having the greatest run that any woman in WWE history has ever had.

From being a forgotten contender in 2017, the summer of 2018 jolted a run that saw her become a 4-time Women’s Champion by the time WrestleMania 35 was over.  She will always be one of SmackDown Live’s most important female superstars.
