Start fresh against Becky Lynch
Smackdown lacks star power in the Women’s division. The Creative wants to put over Becky Lynch but the problem is she does not have big feuds coming in her way since almost every Woman in the Smackdown locker room is a rookie except for Natalya. So, what better way to insert Nikki as the heel and give us heated rivalry to establish Becky’s character, further and thus concreting Nikki’s legacy, as well. In the process, the new title can also be brought so that, they can fight over it.
