Becky Lynch has dethroned Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair. As a result, she is the new WWE RAW and SmackDown Women’s Champion.
She snapped Rousey’s winning streak as she beat the former champion and Charlotte Flair in a triple threat match at WWE WrestleMania 35, which ended up serving as the main event in East Rutherford, NJ at MetLife Stadium on the WWE Network.
This marked history as it was the first time that women have headlined the biggest event of event of the year for the company.
Rousey’s in-ring debut took place at WrestleMania 34 in a mixed tag team match with Kurt Angle as her partner, against Stephanie McMahon and Triple H. Since then, she has been pushed as WWE top star in the RAW Women’s Division and one of the biggest talents that the company has under contract.
Lynch earned this title opportunity by scoring a win over Flair at the WWE Fastlane pay-per-view event. It appears that Lynch and Flair will continue their feuding going forward as Rousey’s status is up in the air.
It’s been reported that Rousey is likely finished with WWE as a regular full-time star at this show but will remain with the company going forward as an ambassador due to her still having years left on her current deal. It’s always possible that she makes a return for another match down the road.
