Becky Lynch had another successful title defense on WWE RAW. The Man retained her NXT Women’s Championship against Indi Hartwell on the show tonight. That said, she might soon drop her title to a 35-year-old star.
The star in question is none other than Xia Li. The superstar was seen stalking Becky Lynch during her backstage interview segment with Jackie Redmond. Li attacked Candice LeRae to deliver a warning to Hartwell later during the show.

WWE has been teasing Lynch versus Li for the NXT Women’s Championship for quite some time now. The two met face-to-face during a backstage segment on the October 9, 2023, episode of WWE RAW. Li asked Lynch:
John Cena's father just broke his silence on his heel turn! More details RIGHT HERE
“Tegan gets her chance, but when will it be Xia’s turn?”
The same night saw The Man successfully retain her title against Tegan Nox. Lynch had requested a match against Nox after Superstar Spectacle but was given Natalya as her opponent as a token of appreciation for pulling double duty at the live event in India.
Speaking of Nattie, the former multi-time champion was in Tegan Nox’s corner for her match against Lyra Valkyria last week on NXT. During the match, she was confronted by WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Chelsea Green and Piper Niven.
When is Becky Lynch’s next title defense?
Becky Lynch will defend her NXT Women’s Championship against Lyra Valkyria at Halloween Havoc tomorrow night. The latter was in attendance for Lynch’s title defense against Indi Hartwell tonight on WWE RAW.
The match was booked after Lynch retained her title in a grueling Extreme Rules match against Tiffany Stratton at NXT No Mercy. The pair main evented the September 30 Premium Live Event at Mechanics Bank Arena in Bakersfield, California.
