Becky Lynch will go down in history as one of the greatest female superstars to ever compete in a WWE ring. The Man has scratched and clawed her way to the mountaintop of the wrestling industry and she deserves all the praise in the world. From surviving one of the worst gimmicks in NXT to becoming The Man and headlining WrestleMania, Lynch is an inspiration for fans and peers alike.
The Man has racked up multiple title victories in her storied WWE career and is a bonafide future WWE Hall of Famer. Now, continuing her legacy, Lynch recently won her seventh WWE Women’s World Championship by outlasting 14 other women in a battle royal on RAW a few weeks ago.
With The Man winning the title, there are multiple dream matches lined up for Big Time Becks. The Women’s division in the WWE has the most depth it has ever seen in history with many talented Women in the locker room jockeying for an opportunity to showcase themselves.
Let us take a look at 4 potential contenders who can dethrone The Man to become the new champion:
1. Liv Morgan can end her revenge tour by winning the World Title
Liv Morgan is one of the most popular stars in WWE today with a hardcore and loyal fanbase that is ride or die for her. Fresh off the heels of her return to WWE at Royal Rumble, Liv has started to make a mark in WWE as she kickstarted her “Revenge Tour” by putting Rhea Ripley on the shelf for months after a vicious assault and would like to end her tour by winning the WWE Women’s World Championship.
Moreover, Liv Morgan and Becky Lynch have a lot of history together. It was The Miracle Kid’s feud with The Man that put her on the map and elevated her to the main event status. Even after battling Big Time Becks, Liv has never been able to beat The Man in singles action. But with momentum, a large fanbase on her side, and a one-on-one title opportunity at WWE King and Queen of the Ring against The Man, Liv is the heavy favorite to beat Becky Lynch for the Women’s World title that will solidify Morgan as one of the biggest names in the WWE.
2. Rhea Ripley can reclaim what she never lost
Rhea Ripley has transformed into one of the biggest names in the wrestling industry with her run as the WWE Women’s World Champion that began when she defeated Charlotte Flair to win the title at WrestleMania 39. Furthermore, Ripley’s run along with The Judgment Day as “The Mami” has made her a household name for WWE fans.
Unfortunately, Rhea Ripley had to vacate her coveted title due to an injury suffered at the hands of Liv Morgan after a vicious assault on RAW a few weeks ago, calling it “Karma” as Rhea took out Liv last year after an attack as well. Ripley solidified herself as one of the biggest superstars in the women’s division after she defeated Becky Lynch in a spectacular showdown at WrestleMania 40. Therefore, she could repeat history once she returns from injury to dethrone The Man and reclaim the title she never lost.
3. Lyra Valkyria can establish herself by putting down The Man
Lyra Valkyria could be the breakout star of WWE Draft 2024 who got called up from the NXT to the main roster. Valkyria is known for her incredible in-ring abilities and is already a former NXT Women’s Champion who is expected to be one of the faces of the WWE Women’s Division for years to come.
Moreover, Becky Lynch has been heaping praise on Lyra Valkyria dating back to 2019, and after battling her in NXT last year, The Man is almost certain that Lyra will have a bright future in the WWE. Becky Lynch did put over Lyra big time when she dropped her NXT Women’s title to her at NXT: Halloween Havoc Night 1. With the former NXT Women’s Champion debuting on Monday Night RAW, she can solidify herself in the big leagues by beating The Man for the Women’s World Title in the near future.
4. Dakota Kai can claim some singles gold in her WWE career for the first time
Dakota Kai is one of the most trusted and well-rounded wrestlers in the squared circle. King Kota has become one of the mainstays in the WWE Women’s division and debuted on the main roster in 2022 as part of the Damage CTRL, alongside Bayley, and IYO Sky.
While both Iyo SKY and Bayley found some success in singles competition as both have won the WWE Women’s Championship, Dakota is the only Damage CTRL member who hasn’t held any singles gold till now. However, it all can change if she dethrones Becky Lynch for the WWE Women’s World Title with seeds planted for a future rivalry when Dakota Kai alongside the entire Damage CTRL stable interrupted The Man on RAW this week.
