Natalya and WWE Women’s Champion Charlotte are currently scheduled to have singles matches for the title at the May 1st WWE Payback pay-per-view and the May 22nd Extreme Rules pay-per-view.
The original plan was to do Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte but the decision was made to hold off on Banks going for the title until SummerSlam. It looks like Sasha will be winning the title at SummerSlam, something that was planned for WrestleMania 32 until Becky Lynch was added to the match.

What should Becky being added to the match have to do with the decision to not put the belt on Sasha?

It shouldn't have done anything, in fact if Sasha had overcome Becky AND Charlotte cleanly in the triple threat, that would have boosted her credibility.
So I find that an odd excuse. Even if they didn't want Becky to eat a pin for some reason she wouldn't have to, because if your intention is to put the belt on Sasha you're prepared for Charlotte to have the pin.

Let's be realistic, the only reason they kept it on Charlotte was so her name was the first in the new shiny title, because Flair. Completely stupid, Sasha had the wm entrance with the hall of famer, vshe had the Eddie tribute thing, and most importantly, she had the fans behind her. Good that she's getting it at SS, but I feel they already took her big moment away

Hell... having the new belt is all the more reason to do the title change, both to solidify the whole "new era" thing and also to not create confusing situations about title reign length.
