WWE Elimination Chamber 2020: 5 possible challengers for Becky Lynch
Nia Jax
Out of the five women on this list, Nia Jax is the only one who isn’t actively competing on the roster. She’s been out since WrestleMania 35, where she competed in a Women’s Tag Title match that was eventually won by the IIconics.
Nia needed surgery to repair TWO torn ACLs, and while she’s been spotted working out as she recovers from her injury and was rumored to be a Royal Rumble entrant last month, she hasn’t made her return yet.
But fans should expect her to be back soon. Perhaps WWE will wait until bringing Nia back to television, as she could be a post-WrestleMania 36 surprise. However, Ruby Riott recently turned to feud with a babyface Liv Morgan.
Nia Jax and Becky Lynch have plenty of history together after what happened before Survivor Series 2018, and fans have been waiting for them to have a stand off inside the ring. My colleague Mark Justice predicted Becky vs. Nia as a singles title match at WWE Elimination Chamber 2020, and while I’m not so sure it actually happens, I think it’s definitely a match to keep an eye on.
Some have thrown around the idea of Becky vs. Nia at WrestleMania, but that isn’t a ‘Mania-worthy match. But at the Elimination Chamber as another hurdle for Becky to go through in her reign as champion? It is a possibility, even if it isn’t likely.
