Our Take On Becky Lynch’s Return To WWE
A Fabled Champion Returns To The Women’s Division
Becky Lynch, the sixth Triple Crown and Grand Slam Champion in WWE, has not a lot left to accomplish in WWE, as well as in her career, so it wasseemingly beneficial that The Man returnedto assist in the mid-card division, potentially adding gravitas and needed competition for both the Women’s Intercontinental and Women’s United States championships that seem to be lacking creative direction, which is not by fault of the performers who hold them.
Chelsea Green, one of the most popular Superstars on the roster, had no match at this year’s WrestleMania to the surprise of many disappointed fans.
By helping elevate the mid-card and tag team divisions with her appearance, as well as unfinished business with Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley,Lynch can help bring additional layersto the impressively stacked division.
Unopposed to taking part in NXT, as well as the TNA partnership that opens up the potential of matches in their Knockouts division and reports of Evolution 2 on the horizon, Lynch picked the perfect time to return.
