Becky Lynch did not compete at Money In The Bank and the reason behind that was because of pregnancy. The very next night after the PPV, she disclosed the news in front of the whole world that made her headliner of the pro-wrestling world.
Her days as the Raw Women’s Champion thus came to an end as she vacated the same to the 2020 Money In The Bank winner Asuka before going into an indefinite hiatus.
Asuka Knew Nothing About Becky Lynch’s Pregnancy & WWE Raw Title Win!
It’s a good thing that Becky Lynch discovered her pregnancy in time and was able to dodge performing at the bygone PPV. Going by the recent reports, The Man was actually scheduled to compete against a tough opponent at Money In The Bank which didn’t happen.
For those who have missed Becky Lynch’s promo on Raw after WrestleMania, she clearly mentioned that she will be at Money In The Bank as the WWE creative didn’t have the confirmation about her pregnancy.

So they did want to insert Becky Lynch into Money In The Bank for her next title defense against a returning superstar. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter noted that WWE’s original plan for Lynch at MITB was for her to put the RAW Women’s Title on the line against Nia Jax.
The behemoth name came back on Raw just the night after WrestleMania and started showing dominance which was an indication of becoming the next number one contender for the belt.
“The actual original booking plan was for Lynch to wrestle Jax in a singles match at the MITB PPV, and to retain the title.”
In fact, this feud was an automatic choice given that Becky Lynch had defeated all the women available on the Raw roster except for Nia Jax since the latter one was unavailable on TV for almost a year. A super babyface like Becky going up against the strong heel character of Jax would have been perfect, storyline-wise.
Plus, if you remember, these two had a history from 2018 where Jax actually broke Lynch’s nose to help her become The Man. In changed circumstances, how things would have gone down in a match between Becky Lynch vs Nia Jax at Money In The Bank.

The much-anticipated rivalry unfortunately never happened on TV to produce a singles contest on TV. As of now, Becky Lynch will have to watch Jax wrestle on TV as she prepares for a new chapter in her life.
