Becky Lynch Becomes WWE Women’s World Champion as Rhea Ripley Relinquishes Title on Raw

A new WWE Women’s World Champion has been crowned this week as Becky Lynch emerged victorious in a Battle Royal on Monday Night Raw. The title was recently vacated by longtime champion Rhea Ripley. This marks Lynch’s seventh world championship reign in WWE. She outlasted Nia Jax and Liv Morgan in the final three of the Battle Royal, despite being put through a table earlier in the match. After Ripley was forced to relinquish the title due to a shoulder injury, Lynch seized the opportunity to claim the championship.

Ripley held the title for 380 days after winning it from Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 39. She successfully defended it against Lynch at WrestleMania 40. Lynch will now have a tough act to follow, as Ripley was a dominant champion during her reign. She was part of the popular group The Judgment Day and faced formidable opponents in her title defenses. WWE has been undergoing changes under new head of creative Paul “Triple H” Leveque, aiming to build new stars and steer the company in a new direction. Despite Lynch being a familiar champion, her experience can help shape the new era of WWE and pave the way for emerging talent.
