Becky Lynch: Five must-see matches for the former champion
Nia Jax
Becky Lynch & Nia Jax’s bad blood dates all the way back to the year 2018.
No seriously. Pun intended.
As you may recollect, Becky Lynch vs. Ronda Rousey was scheduled to take place at that year’s Survivor Series. What was supposed to be The Man vs. The Baddest Women on the planet turned out to be Rousey vs. The Queen, Charlotte Flair.
This was due to the fact that Jax unintentionally injured Lynch before the event took place.
Consequently, Lynch was pulled from the match and replaced with Charlotte.
It was during this time that Jax started referring to herself as the face breaker; often boasting about taking out Lynch in an effort to elicit heat from the WWE Universe.
What sucks is the only payoff anyone got from all of Jax’s trash-talking was a kick to the gut and forearm from Lynch at TLC a month later.
Although this whole ordeal is years plus old and long forgotten about, it’d pretty be interesting to see a Lynch/Jax feud once The Man makes her return.
Rhea Ripley
Yes, that Rhea. The Rhea Ripley that everyone remembers from her days in NXT.
Now, I’m not going to write a whole post about whether or not Ripley’s current stint on Raw is or isn’t living to everyone’s expectations, but if Ripley vs. Lynch is going to happen, there’s no question that we need the old Rhea Ripley back.
There was a time when Ripley’s modus operandi was pretty easy to understand.
She’d walk down to the ring with all the swag of about a thousand Vince McMahons, beat the bejeesus out of the poor soul who dared to step to her, and then she’d flash that signature smug smile when it was over and she got the win.
It was believable. It was authentic. It was Rhea Ripley.
Nowadays, she honestly hasn’t lost her edge or anything. It’s just that jokes, playing around, and showing her vulnerability don’t fit her character too well. Especially when/if she starts feuding with someone like Becky Lynch.
Bianca Belair
Bianca Belair is on a roll right now, but when it comes to her next feud and who she’s going to go up against, there aren’t as many options as there would be on the Raw brand at the moment.
She was recently embroiled in a feud with Bayley, but it’s been reported that The Role Model suffered a torn ACL, sidelining her for 9 months.
With Bayley on the injured list and Sasha Banks’ return still up in the air at the time of writing this post, Belair’s options are kind of limited.
Plus, when you add the fact that not everyone can feud with the champion at the same time and are put into separate feuds, the aforementioned “kind of” turns into she simply doesn’t have a lot of choices.
That’s where Becky Lynch comes in.
A feud with Belair and Lynch would be awesome, of course. But it would also be something different, as well.
Considering the fact that repetitive matches are one of the top complaints from the fans these days, this doesn’t seem like a bad route to go.
