In an unforgettable episode of Monday Night RAW, the WWE Women’s World Championship saw a new but familiar champion in Becky Lynch. The title previously held by Rhea Ripley was vacated following an injury she attributed to an encounter with Liv Morgan, setting the stage for a high-stakes battle royal. On the April 22 episode, Becky Lynch outlasted other contenders, claiming the championship and marking her seventh reign as a champion, her first since winning the SmackDown Women’s Championship in 2021.
This victory is not just a testament to Lynch’s wrestling prowess but also underscores her resilience and dedication to her craft. Speaking in a Raw Exclusive interview, Lynch reflected on the gravity of her win. “It feels great to hear [I’m the WWE Women’s World Champion]. I’ve never held this championship before. Look at it, it’s beautiful,” she said. The triumph was deeply personal for Lynch, who admitted the numerous sacrifices made along the way, including time away from her young daughter, Roux.
Lynch’s career, although illustrious, has been marked by both her relentless ambition and the personal costs that come with it. “For the last few months, Rhea even said it, I’ve been burning the candle all out. I’ve been away from my daughter for weeks on end. Got myself a New York Times bestseller for a damn near month. But man, it’s worth it. It’s worth it because the words of my book are written on my gear. It reminds me why I do this, where I started, where I’ve gotten to. We’re just going up, baby,” Lynch commented passionately.
The significance of Lynch’s victory extends beyond the ring, touching the hearts of her family and fans. When questioned about the impact of her win on her daughter, Lynch highlighted her desire to inspire Roux. “Everything that I do, I want to make her proud. I hope she’s proud. She did [stay up late to watch the match]. I got a text from my husband [Seth Rollins], who’s recovering from surgery. At all stages, we need at least one champ in the house, so I’m bringing it home, baby.”
As the new WWE Women’s World Champion, Lynch’s role is set to evolve with WWE’s future storylines, eagerly awaited by her wide fan base. Her victory was not just a win in the ring but a moment of pride that resonated with her supporters, particularly those who admire her as a role model for persistence and achieving one’s dreams against odds.
Wrestling enthusiasts and commentators are already speculating about how WWE will steer Lynch’s narrative as champion. Will she face a rematch against Rhea Ripley once recovered, or will new challengers emerge? Whatever the path, the journey promises to be as enthralling as her battle royal victory.
