5 directions for Becky Lynch following WWE Royal Rumble 

At WWE Royal Rumble, Becky Lynch successfully retained her RAW Women's Championship against Doudrop.

It was a highly-competitive contest, where the challenger pushed Big Time Becks to her limits. But in the end, Becky applied a top-rope Manhandle Slam on Doudrop to pick up a clean victory.

The Man has been at the top of the RAW Women's division for the last four months. She has overcome top names like Charlotte Flair and Liv Morgan during this memorable reign.

But what lies ahead for the reigning RAW Women's Champion? Is she going to face a certain superstar once again? Will Becky's paths cross with her arch-rival Ronda Rousey?

In this article, let's look at five possible directions for Becky Lynch following WWE Royal Rumble.

#5. Becky Lynch resumes her rivalry with Liv Morgan

Liv Morgan has had a couple of intense matchups against Becky Lynch since the latter's return to the red brand. The former Riott Squad member has been projected as a legitimate threat to Big Time Becks' title reign.

Morgan failed to take the title off Becky at WWE Day 1. However, her issues with the Irish superstar aren't over by any means.

The WWE Universe has been waiting for Liv to hold the title for quite some time now. The company can give fans what they want by allowing the 27-year-old to renew her rivalry with The Man.

It would make up for a solid WrestleMania bout, where Morgan could finally solidify her status as a main-event player.

#4. Becky Lynch faces a huge challenge in the form of Rhea Ripley

The Road to Survivor Series 2019 saw Becky Lynch travel back to NXT for a major showdown with Rhea Ripley.

It was an exciting contest between the two women who were at the top of their respective divisions at the time. Ripley held her own against The Man, giving Becky a run for her money.

Although the match ended in no contest, it was enough to get people excited for a future rivalry between the two stars. With Ripley and Lynch both being part of the same brand, a possible rematch might not be too far off.

The Nightmare is currently in a rivalry with Nikki A.S.H.

Once she sorts her issues with her former best friend, we might see Rhea Ripley go after Becky's title.

#3. Becky Lynch goes after Lita

It's been a trend that whenever a legendary female superstar comes back, Charlotte Flair tends to be their primary target.

We saw how Trish Stratus chose to face The Queen in mid-2019, even after having the chance to challenge for any of the women's championships.

Lita also did the same thing when she returned to SmackDown a few weeks ago. However, the upcoming weeks could see a change in this pattern.

The chances of Lita going after Lynch are very high, considering the Twitter battle they had in October 2021. The two stars clearly have some issues that can be settled at the Show of Shows.

Not to forget, The Man eliminated Lita from the first-ever Women's Royal Rumble in 2018.

Charlotte seemingly settled her scores with the former champion by eliminating her from the Royal Rumble match. So it might not be a surprise if Lita turns her attention towards Becky and challenges her for a WrestleMania match.

#2. Becky Lynch turns babyface again

Since returning to WWE as a heel, Becky Lynch has done exceptionally well. She has been a dominant force who has overcome every obstacle in her path.

If we take out a couple of names, there aren't many credible options to put against heel Becky at the moment. So it might be the perfect time for The Irish Lass Kicker to bring back her babyface gimmick.

Even Becky's current persona couldn't quite match the success she had as "The Man." She was a universally loved babyface who worked well against all kinds of opponents.

Becky Lynch turning face again would shake things up, making her remaining title reign a lot more unpredictable.

#1. Becky Lynch collides with Ronda Rousey in a much-awaited singles match

After winning the Royal Rumble 2019, Becky Lynch challenged Ronda Rousey to a RAW Women's Championship match at WrestleMania 35.

The match later became a triple threat due to the inclusion of Charlotte Flair. Many fans were disappointed about not getting a proper singles bout between Lynch and Rousey.

With Rousey's Royal Rumble victory, we may finally get this match in the near future. It remains to be seen who Ronda will choose between Charlotte and Becky.

Since Lynch called out Rousey several times on social media, The Baddest Woman on the Planet would be a little more interested in facing Big Time Becks than The Queen.
