Becky Lynch set for action on WWE Raw
Becky Lynch is set to compete in her first televised match since becoming Women’s World Champion.
Lynch will be in action on Raw this Monday night. The announcement was made during a commercial that aired on Friday’s SmackDown, though WWE did not reveal Lynch’s opponent.
In the main event of the April 22 episode of Raw, Lynch won the Women’s World Championship in a battle royal. The title was vacant going into that match after Rhea Ripley had to relinquish it due to a shoulder injury. Ripley had retained against Lynch at WrestleMania 40 just three weeks before she was forced to vacate.
A Women’s World Championship match with Lynch defending against Liv Morgan has been made official for WWE’s King & Queen of the Ring PLE in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, May 25.
There was a segment on Raw this past Monday where Morgan confronted Lynch during a sit-down interview. After they were interrupted by Damage CTRL, Morgan backed off and left Lynch to fend for herself. New NXT call-up Lyra Valkyria then came to Lynch’s defense.
Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina is the venue for Monday’s Raw. Here’s everything that’s been announced for the episode:
