There’s a big question mark regarding who Becky Lynch could defend her WWE Raw Women’s Championship against at WrestleMania. Let’s look at some options.

As the WWE Raw Women’s Champion, Becky Lynch has reigned supreme as one of the biggest top names that the company has to offer. There was a time that she was even WWE’s top merchandise seller before The Fiend took that spot in her place. That’s how high The Man’s star has risen over the past year or so.

Any match with the champion is going to be viewed as a high profile bout and there is no higher platform that such a bout could take place on than WrestleMania. Which is why we have all been speculating who Lynch could face on The Grandest Stage of Them All just two months before it is set to air. At the moment, her opponent appears to be up in the air.

With Charlotte Flair winning the Royal Rumble match recently, it would not be hard to imagine The Queen picking The Man and her title as her opponent for WrestleMania, especially seeing as Flair lost their Mania main event last year without being pinned in the triple threat. However, in lieu of strong rumors that Flair could cash in her title opportunity against NXT Champion Rhea Ripley, a one-on-one between Lynch and Flair at Mania seems unlikely.

At the same time, fans and critics continue to speculate that Ronda Rousey is in the running to face The Man at WrestleMania – this time, in a one-on-one fashion – but that in itself seems unclear at the moment, as does Rousey’s foreseeable future with the company in general.

So who could Becky Lynch wrestle and defend her championship against at WrestleMania? The question, on the surface, appears to be a massive headscratcher, but thanks to WWE having a wonderfully deep roster of Superstars ready to step up to the plate, there are plenty of options on the table. So I looked at some believable, realistic options and took a few wild guesses at who could come around for The Man at Mania.

Let’s start with the no-brainer who has been on everybody’s minds since the Royal Rumble.
