What In The World Happened To Becky Lynch On RAW?
What just happened? Seriously, somebody pinch me. Monday Night RAW at Madison Square Garden just went off the rails, and I’m still trying to process the absolute chaos that unfolded. Becky Lynch, “The Man,” the seemingly unstoppable force who held the Women’s Intercontinental Championship for a solid 164 days, just lost her title. And not just to anyone, but to Maxxine Dupri, in a match that had more twists than a pretzel factory. If you’re as confused as I am, pull up a chair. Let’s try to unpack this mess.
The night was supposed to be a standard title defense for Lynch. Maxxine Dupri, bless her heart, was getting her third crack at the title. With her family watching from the front row in the iconic MSG, the pressure was on. Dupri has been on this unexpected journey, training hard and showing flashes of potential, but a win against Becky Lynch? At the Garden? It felt like a long shot, a pipe dream, something you’d book in your WWE 2K game just for laughs.
But then, it happened. The match was a back-and-forth affair, with Lynch, of course, being the dominant force. But Dupri held her own, fueled by the energy of the New York crowd. Just when it looked like Lynch was about to put the finishing touches on another successful defense, all hell broke loose.
The Return That Nobody Saw Coming
In the match’s most critical moment, with Becky Lynch getting a little too heated with referee Jessika Carr, a familiar face decided it was the perfect time to make a grand re-entrance. AJ Lee, a name that sends shivers down the spine of the WWE Universe, returned. Her appearance was enough to distract Lynch for a split second, and in the world of professional wrestling, a split second is an eternity.
This opening was all Dupri needed. She seized the opportunity, hit a high-flying crossbody, and pinned the champion. One. Two. Three. The crowd erupted. Maxxine Dupri, the underdog, was the new Women’s Intercontinental Champion. While Dupri celebrated her career-defining moment, the rest of us were left with our jaws on the floor. It was a massive win for her, no doubt, but the shadow of AJ Lee’s interference loomed large. This wasn’t just a clean victory; it was a statement.
Becky Lynch Is Not Taking This Lying Down
If you thought Becky Lynch was going to take this loss gracefully, you haven’t been paying attention for the last decade. Following the match, Triple H did his signature finger-point photo with the new champion, Maxxine Dupri, and posted it on X. That was like pouring gasoline on a raging fire.
Lynch immediately fired back with a threat that was part legal jargon, part pure, unadulterated rage. She called out a “No Managers License” violation in New York, declared the match rigged, and promised that Triple H would be hearing from her lawyer. “The changing of the side plates will result in a lawsuit,” she warned. It’s the kind of fiery, defiant response we’ve come to expect from Lynch, and frankly, I’m here for every single second of the impending legal drama. A lawsuit over championship side plates? Inject it directly into my veins.
With all the limelight directed towards John Cena, the Becky Lynch episode seems to be gathering headlines. However, it appears that more storylines will emerge from it in the near future.
