Bengaluru, April 25: Winning the women’s Wrestlemania main event was not the only history that Becky Lynch made in 2019. With the dual championships shining bright around her shoulder, she is moving forward to set another milestone on May 19. It will mark the first pay-per-view event for the WWE following the biggest event of the year in the form of Money in the Bank where both the women’s titles will be on the line on the same night.
This will be the first time ever in the WWE that a woman will be defending her two championships in two separate matches in one single night. Previously, WWE had Women’s and Divas title-holders at the same time but they did not receive the same opportunity as Becky Lynch. Imagine if she retains both the titles, it will also be the brightest night of her career, perhaps even bigger than Wrestlemania.
However, the chances of her dual title retention are less as of this point. WWE creative wants her to be the face of the Raw women’s division and hence she may be moving to the flagship show on a permanent basis instead of hopping around the two brands. If reports from Wrestling Observer Newsletter (via cagesideseats.com) is to be believed then Becky Lynch is dropping the Smackdown women’s championship at Money in the Bank to shift to Raw.
On the other hand, Lacey Evans is the number one contender on Monday Night Raw by scoring a pinfall victory over Natalya. She received her title shot on the same night courtesy of the confirmation from WWE.com,
“Armed with an ability to play politics and curry favor, Evans earned herself a Raw Women’s Title opportunity against Becky Lynch with her victory over Natalya the following week on Raw, setting the stage for an extremely intriguing matchup.
