As the countdown to WrestleMania 40 intensifies, the anticipation surrounding Becky Lynch’s showdown with Rhea Ripley reaches a fever pitch.
Since Ripley’s championship victory at WrestleMania 39, she has successfully defended her title against all challengers, creating a formidable hurdle for Lynch in their upcoming clash.
While Lynch’s ongoing rivalry with The Judgment Day member unfolds on Monday Night RAW, WWE appears to have already mapped out her post-WrestleMania trajectory.
Following the grand spectacle of WrestleMania 40, Lynch could find herself in a high-profile feud with none other than NXT’s emerging sensation, Roxanne Perez.
Perez’s recent heel turn and explicit mention of The Man in her promo on a recent episode of NXT suggest a brewing storyline between them.
This strategic development by WWE signals a potential future collision between Lynch and Perez, offering fans an exciting prospect beyond the imminent clash with Ripley.
Becky Lynch’s history on WWE NXT, including a successful run culminating in the NXT Women’s Championship, adds an intriguing layer to her potential return to the Tuesday night show.
As her responsibilities at WrestleMania 40 conclude, the possibility of Lynch rekindling her NXT legacy adds an element of unpredictability to her post-WrestleMania journey.
In a recent interview, Rhea Ripley expressed her enthusiasm about headlining WrestleMania 40 against Becky Lynch.
The Australian powerhouse, having proven herself against top-tier superstars on RAW, views the match with Lynch as an opportunity to avenge her previous loss in WWE NXT.
Ripley’s confidence and assertion that a clash with Lynch is main event-worthy echoes her desire to showcase the pinnacle of women’s wrestling. In her words,
“I think Becky Lynch and I stepping into the ring at Mania is main event-worthy. I really do.”
