Plus, it proved to be successful for Becky Lynch too who went through yet another successful title defense. Shayna Baszler was the new name in her list whom she toppled and ticked off.

One year later, Lynch retained her title over The Queen of Spades on Night One of WrestleMania 36, this past weekend, which was her toughest title defense, to date.

As for Walter, this past Sunday marked one year since NXT UK Champion WALTER won his championship from current NXT Tag Team Champion Pete Dunne at the NXT “Takeover: New York” during WrestleMania 35 Weekend. The belt used to be called the WWE UK Title, which then got re-named in January of this year.

WWE Plans To Extend Becky Lynch Vs. Shayna Baszler Feud On Raw

Thus, these two have joined an elite list of superstars like Trish Stratus, John Cena or CM Punk who has held a title in the modern era for more than 365 days. Becky Lynch and Walter did not mention the milestones over their social media accounts but WWE did send congratulatory messages to them with an official statement,

“She’s “The Man,” Raw’s resident Lass Kicker, and now Becky Lynch can add a new moniker to her list: Yearlong Champion.

Lynch’s reign as Raw Women’s Champion began on April 7, 2019, when she defeated Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey in the first-ever women’s main event of WrestleMania. Since then, The Man has held her title for 365 straight days and survived nearly a dozen televised defenses against such opponents as Lacey Evans, Natalya, Sasha Banks and, most recently, Shayna Baszler at this year’s WrestleMania.

Lynch joins an exclusive group of Superstar women who have held a championship for a full, uninterrupted year; the list includes WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus, Asuka and Lynch’s WrestleMania challenger, The Queen of Spades.

Also joining Becky in the full-year family is WALTER, who has held the NXT UK Championship since April 5, 2019.

Moving forward, there are speculations ongoing on who could possibly end up being the next challenger for Becky Lynch. She has defeated all of the women’s division members from Raw over the past 365 days. So WWE would find it hard to choose a new name against her.

With that being said, current reports indicate that the ongoing feud against Shayna Baszler will continue for the next pay-per-view event. It should be Money In the Bank on May 10th when the next WWE Network special should air.
