#1 Becky Lynch's dream run as "The Man" in WWE has ended

Last year at SummerSlam, Becky Lynch continued her WWE RAW Women's title reign by defeating Natalya in her home country. Becky Lynch had won the belt in the first-ever Women's main event of WrestleMania, and put down several women in her quest to keep the belt on her shoulders on the road to SummerSlam. Lynch didn't stop after SummerSlam, and defeated several Superstars one after the other.

"The Man" defeated Shayna Baszler at WrestleMania 36 to retain her belt. After holding the belt for 398 days, Lynch vacated it on an episode of WWE RAW, when she revealed that she was pregnant. Lynch's exit changed the landscape of the Women's decision completely, with Asuka becoming the new Champion.

Lynch turned into one of the biggest stars of the modern era during her reign as WWE RAW Women's Champion. It is safe to say that she won't be coming back for a long time. The likes of Asuka, Sasha Banks, Nia Jax, and Shayna Baszler will likely take the Women's division forward in the absence of Becky Lynch.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
