The WWE Women’s World Championship found a new bearer in Becky Lynch this Monday on RAW, but not without controversy and a promise of retribution from Liv Morgan. The championship, recently vacated due to Rhea Ripley’s shoulder injury—inflicted by none other than Morgan—set the stage for a fiercely contested Battle Royal that included top contenders like Natalya, Chelsea Green, Shayna Baszler, Nia Jax, Liv Morgan, and Becky Lynch herself.
The action-packed battle saw strategies and alliances shift rapidly, but the highlight was the final showdown among Nia Jax, Liv Morgan, and Becky Lynch. Initially knocked out of the ring, Lynch quickly recovered and re-entered the battle, proving why she’s called “Big Time Becks.” The tide turned when Lynch and Morgan momentarily teamed up to eliminate Nia Jax, setting the stage for a one-on-one confrontation between the two.
In these crucial final moments, the arena was thick with tension as fans rooted loudly, many in favor of Morgan to clinch her first WWE Women’s World Championship. However, it was Lynch who prevailed, delivering her signature Manhandle Slam to Morgan at the apron, effectively securing her the championship and leaving the audience in a mixture of awe and dismay.
The decision was met with mixed reactions from the WWE universe. Many fans expressed their disappointment online, particularly those who felt Morgan deserved the championship given her recent storyline and momentum. Following the event, Liv Morgan took to Twitter to express her determination in a succinct but powerful message: “It’s on.” This declaration has ignited speculation about her next moves and her evident resolve to target the championship.

Morgan’s tweet hints at an intensifying feud, possibly culminating in a major showdown at WWE Backlash on May 4th. This anticipated event could very well see Morgan attempt to dethrone Lynch, setting the stage for what could be a dramatic and satisfying reversal of fortunes for the fan-favorite star.
As Becky Lynch begins her reign as the WWE Women’s World Champion, questions abound about how long her tenure will last, especially with Morgan’s declared intent for revenge. Lynch’s victory, while a testament to her resilience and skill, has not settled well with a significant portion of the WWE fandom, who continue to voice their support for Morgan.
The WWE creative team now faces the challenge of navigating this backlash while crafting a narrative that keeps viewers engaged and invested in the outcomes. How they handle Morgan’s character development and her pursuit of the championship could be pivotal in maintaining viewer interest and balancing fan expectations.
In the coming weeks, all eyes will be on Lynch and Morgan as they possibly gear up for another explosive encounter. Will Morgan’s Revenge Tour see her rise to victory, or will Lynch manage to defend her title against a determined challenger? Only time will tell, but one thing is clear: the WWE Women’s division remains as unpredictable and thrilling as ever.
