Will Becky Lynch Face Rhea Ripley At WrestleMania 40?
The decision for Becky Lynch to lose clean to Nia Jax on the Day 1 edition of Monday Night RAW was not only surprising but also raised significant concerns about the creative direction led by Triple H. While some may argue that this outcome paves the way for a redemption arc, the timing of this loss becomes particularly problematic when considering the heavily rumored match between Becky Lynch and Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 40. The decision to have Lynch lose clean to Nia Jax at this juncture doesn't align with the trajectory needed for a WrestleMania main event. WrestleMania is not just an event; it's a showcase of the best WWE has to offer. If Lynch is indeed slated to face Ripley, one of the most dominant champions in recent memory, at the grandest stage of them all, the creative choices leading up to this match need to bolster Lynch's credibility, not diminish it.
WWE Raw: Is Triple H Trying To Punish Becky Lynch?
Becky Lynch's recent comments and actions showed she wasn't happy with Triple H removing her match with Trish Stratus from SummerSlam.While the concept of a redemption arc can be compelling, the execution matters. Losing clean to Nia Jax, who has faced considerable fan backlash, doesn't serve the purpose of elevating Becky's character. If WWE intended for Lynch to continue the feud with Jax and eventually triumph, there were alternative ways to achieve that without compromising Lynch's strength. As mentioned earlier, a DQ finish or even a distraction finish could have seen Becky lose but not look weak. The redemption arc could still be there without Lynch looking defeated. Sure, this feud will end with Becky on top as she gets her revenge on Nia and her losing in the beginning can make sense, but the way she was made to lose clean is absurd. Not to mention, on the very same show, Rhea Ripley dominated her opponent Ivy Nile and won.
The juxtaposition of Becky Lynch's clean loss and Rhea Ripley's dominant win on the same show adds another layer of complexity to this creative decision. If the intention was to showcase Ripley as an unstoppable force, it inadvertently painted Lynch as vulnerable, especially considering the stark contrast in their respective matches on that particular RAW episode. In essence, Triple H's approval of this creative direction has left many fans questioning the logic behind a decision that appears to undermine Becky Lynch's momentum on the road to WrestleMania.
