In a jaw-dropping turn of events on the latest edition of Monday Night RAW, Becky Lynch dropped a bombshell challenge for WrestleMania. On RAW, the Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley took center stage, venting her frustration at those like Nia Jax who dared to claim ownership of the Women’s Division.
Last week on RAW, Nia Jax and Rhea Ripley came face-to-face, with Jax declaring her entry into the 2024 Royal Rumble match. Furthermore, Nia Jax sent a message to Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley, expressing her intentions to challenge her down the line. On this week’s RAW, Rhea Ripley addressed the WWE Universe, expressing her frustration. She proceeded to issue a warning to the Royal Rumble winner, advising them not to challenge her at WrestleMania.
However, the arena erupted when Becky Lynch‘s music hit. The Man stepped into the ring, acknowledging the parallel paths she and Rhea Ripley had taken to reach the pinnacle of WWE. Lynch declared her intention to win the Royal Rumble and then dethrone Ripley on the grand stage of WrestleMania 40.
Rhea Ripley responded by expressing her desire to witness Becky Lynch win the Royal Rumble. The segment reached its climax as Ripley told Lynch that she would see her at WrestleMania 40.
Did Becky Lynch win the WWE Royal Rumble in the past?
Becky Lynch announced her Royal Rumble participation this year. Despite falling short last year when she was eliminated by Bayley, this year, Lynch, determined to secure victory, has set her sights on Rhea Ripley for WrestleMania 40. Having participated three times before, Becky Lynch secured her victory in 2019 when she replaced Lana, eliminating Charlotte Flair to win it.
This win led to a historic WrestleMania 35 main event against Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair. Lynch captured both RAW and SmackDown women’s titles at WrestleMania 35. A month later, she lost the SmackDown women’s championship to Charlotte but held the RAW women’s championship for a year. She relinquished it to Asuka upon announcing her pregnancy in 2020.
As Becky Lynch gears up for another Royal Rumble, fans await to see if history will repeat itself, and if Lynch becomes the first woman to win the Royal Rumble twice.
