The Build To Nia Jax Vs Becky Lynch On RAW Day 1

Nia Jax Gave Becky Lynch A Concussion In 2018

The year 2018 bore witness to an incident that would redefine the trajectory of Becky Lynch's career. Nia Jax, in the heat of battle, inadvertently delivered a blow that shattered Becky's nose, creating an iconic moment that would echo through the years. The aftermath of this unintentional act was nothing short of spectacular, as Becky Lynch, draped in her crimson mask, emerged from the chaos not as a victim but as a symbol of unwavering tenacity. Becky Lynch, already a popular figure, seized this moment to transform herself into "The Man.” Becky’s career became the greatest one in women's wrestling history. After that, as she made history left and right, Nia Jax's career went down the drain.

Fast-forward to 2023, and the echoes of that fateful incident reverberated through the wrestling landscape as Becky Lynch and Nia Jax found themselves entangled in a renewed and intense feud where Nia claimed she made The Man. Becky was hell-bent on proving her wrong and this narrative set them for a showdown on the grand stage of Monday Night RAW's Day 1 edition in 2024.

Nia Jax Defeats Becky Lynch Clean On WWE RAW

Nia Jax Vs Becky Lynch Had A Horrible Ending

The match itself was a rollercoaster of emotions and a great wrestling bout, mostly because Becky Lynch can get a great match out of any opponent. However, the shocking twist came when Nia Jax secured a clean victory over The Man. Becky Lynch's character, especially when she's a babyface, has been synonymous with overcoming odds, and her losses have typically come with some form of external interference, a controversial finish, or a storyline twist. This time, though, the decision to have Nia Jax defeat her cleanly left fans in disbelief. Nia, who hasn't always enjoyed a positive reception from the WWE audience, delivered a decisive victory that didn't align with the narrative fans had grown accustomed to.

The unexpected nature of the outcome intensified the backlash. Many fans questioned the logic behind having Becky lose in such a definitive manner, especially given the trajectory of the storyline leading up to the match. The clean loss not only defied expectations but also left a lingering sense of dissatisfaction among the WWE faithful. The aftermath of the match saw Becky Lynch lying defeated with a bloody face once again, but this time it didn't help her at all.

Triple H's Questionable Booking Of Becky Lynch And Nia Jax

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.
