Becky Lynch competed in a triple threat match on Smackdown Live in Jacksonville, Florida. She took on against Carmella and Charlotte Flair at the same time to determine the number one contender for the Smackdown women’s championship. The dis-arm-her submission move handed over the win and thereby confirmed a title match at Royal Rumble.
Asuka will now defend her Smackdown women’s championship against Becky Lynch at this upcoming PPV. This is the first time ever that these two will go one-on-one against each other in a pay-per-view show. Since all the momentums are by Lynch’s side, most of the fans and critics have declared her the favorite to win this bout.

However, Royal Rumble is one particular event that deals with surprises. WWE might be planning a huge swerve for Becky Lynch to keep that theme intact on this particular night. If this rumor is coming true then the Lass-kicker will have to pull off double duties in the same event i.e. to compete in two different matches.
Wrestling Observer Newsletter suggested that Becky Lynch will come up short in the match against Asuka. She will not be able to successfully retain the WWE Smackdown women’s championship. But this will happen only to make her entering the women’s Royal Rumble match, later the night. This one will see her as the last woman standing in the ring.
So Becky Lynch will win 2019 women’s Royal Rumble match to challenge Ronda Rousey at the biggest event of the year. This is the long speculated Wrestlemania 35 main event ever since Survivor Series passed by. Originally this match was likely to take place on that show which got scrapped. WWE officials later rescheduled it.
But now it seems there has been another change in this match. Charlotte Flair will get added to this Wrestlemania match in due course. Two more PPVs will be waiting for us following Royal Rumble. It is likely that The Queen will earn her rights at Elimination Chamber or Fastlane to compete in the main event of Wrestlemania.
The swerve regarding Becky Lynch would be very interesting as hinted by the source. Fans can think that Becky Lynch is out of the Wrestlemania main event after losing the title opportunity against Asuka. So coming back and winning the Royal Rumble will receive huge cheers from them. This is suitable for a talent like Becky Lynch who is the most popular superstar of the female roster.
