Rhea Ripley was forced to relinquish her Women's World Championship last week on WWE RAW due to an injury. The Eradicator put together an impressive 380 day title reign and defeated Becky Lynch at WrestleMania XL in her final match as champion.
There was a Battle Royal in the main event on tonight's episode of Monday Night RAW to crown a new Women's World Champion. The final three stars in the match were Liv Morgan, Nia Jax, and Becky Lynch. Lynch and Morgan teamed up to eliminate Jax and battled each other in the ring. The action spilled to the ring apron and Lynch emerged victorious.
Listed below are 5 reasons Becky Lynch won the Women's World Champion tonight on WWE RAW:

#5. WWE could view Becky Lynch as a safe bet
Becky Lynch won the Women's World Championship tonight in the main event of WWE RAW. She won the match by hitting Liv Morgan with a Manhandle Slam on the ring apron.
Lynch had lost to Ripley at WrestleMania earlier this month, but WWE could view her as the safest bet to carry the title for a while. She still is one of the most popular stars on the roster and fans gave her a great reaction after winning the title tonight.
#4. WWE may want to continue the rivalry between Lynch and Ripley
The promotion noted that Becky Lynch was under the weather during her title match against Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania XL and could have had plans to extend their rivalry following The Show of Shows. The Man's victory tonight allows them to reignite their feud once Rhea Ripley is cleared to return to action.
Ripley could demand a title match right when she returns as she never lost the title, and defeated Lynch in her last match as champion. In the meantime, Lynch can keep the title relevant with exciting feuds with other superstars on WWE RAW.
#3. Becky Lynch has several rivalries ready to go
Ahead of WrestleMania XL, Becky Lynch spent several weeks in rivalries with Liv Morgan and Nia Jax. The Irresistible Force put Lynch through the announce table tonight but couldn't keep her down.
As Women's World Champion, Lynch could revisit her feuds with Morgan and Jax in the weeks ahead. Her rivalry with Nia Jax is extremely personal and could be an entertaining first title defense for the veteran as Women's World Champion.
#2. Lynch could become the new face of WWE RAW
Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins were the faces of the red brand but that is no longer the case. Lynch is married to Rollins in real life and recently disclosed that her husband underwent surgery following WrestleMania. Rhodes captured the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania XL and is now listed as a SmackDown star on the company's website.
Becky Lynch could potentially become the new face of the red brand moving forward. She has accumulated millions of fans over the years and could be projected as one of the brand's biggest star's moving forward. The WWE Draft begins on SmackDown this week, and it remains unknown if Rhea Ripley will be remaining on RAW.
#1. WWE could be planning a dream match at next year's WrestleMania
Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch have a storied history together and the company could be planning a dream match for WrestleMania 41. Flair is out of action with a major injury suffered last December on SmackDown. She could be making her return later this year, and if Lynch is still the Women's World Champion at the time, it may lead to a massive matchup.
Becky Lynch, Ronda Rousey, and Charlotte Flair battled in a Triple Threat match in the main event of WrestleMania 35. Lynch won the match to become champion, but she pinned Rousey to do so. Flair and Lynch would be a great rivalry and the two stars could possibly main event one of the nights of WrestleMania next year.
