Becky Lynch loses WWE NXT Women's Championship

Becky Lynch just lost her WWE NXT Women's Championship after a grueling match.

A couple of weeks ago, Becky Lynch shocked the world when she showed up and challenged Tiffany Stratton for the NXT Women's Championship. Unsurprisingly, Lynch was able to win her first NXT Women's Title.

Since winning the title, Lynch made it a mission to defend it against rising stars in the company. Last week, she retained the title against Tegan Nox, and this past week on RAW, she defended the belt against Indi Hartwell. However, tonight at NXT Halloween Havoc, she had her most challenging test since winning the title in Lyra Valkyria.

Both women put on an incredible match in the ring. Lyra brought the fight to Lynch and had her in trouble many times. She showed how resilient she can be when she kicked out of the Manhandle slam. When Lynch went for the Manhandle slam again, Lyra Valkyria was able to reverse her and get the pinfall.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
