Becky Lynch made the surprising announcement of her pregnancy on this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw and it appears that WWE had to make significant changes to their plans due to this revelation.
According to reports from Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the former Raw Women’s Champion was originally expected to compete at the Money In The Bank PPV and defend her title against Nia Jax.
This match was obviously nixed after the company learned about Becky’s pregnancy though this is not the only major change they had to make to the PPV.
According to reports, the original plans for the women’s Money In The Bank match were different as well and it was the former NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler who was initially planned to win the ladder match.
Since the Money In The Bank matches were taped in mid-April, it means that the company was aware of the situation by then and they adjusted the plans accordingly.
The changed plans saw Asuka winning the Money In The Bank match and the Japenese star was then awarded the Raw Women’s Championship after Becky Lynch relinquished the title.
There are no words yet on what the company is planning for Shayna Baszler now but it wouldn’t be a surprise if she goes after Asuka for the title in the future.
