The first meeting of Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair following their Wrestlemania match turned out to be quite an eventful. They met over a face-to-face conversation segment on Smackdown as earlier announced by WWE that produced blockbuster news. They will once again square off in a match at next pay-per-view event as the Smackdown women’s championship will hang in the balance between them.
Huge match announced for Roman Reigns at Money in the Bank
Charlotte Flair showed up to kick off the confrontation segment. She pointed out that at Wrestlemania 35 Becky Lynch pinned Ronda Rousey but not her that automatically hands her a title match. Becky had no problem in giving her the match but Bayley interrupted saying it is not a fresh lineup following Superstar Shakeup. We have seen Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair over and over in recent times.
So she challenged Flair in a match to replace her for the title opportunity. The two squared off in a match on Smackdown where Charlotte Flair stopped her from performing a top rope elbow. She locked in the Figure Eight from which Bayley came out but Flair caught her with a spear right away for the pinfall win. After this, Becky Lynch announced that she will indeed defend her Smackdown women’s championship against The Queen. The match is all set to happen at the Money in the Bank PPV event set for May 19th.
WWE announced on this past week that Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair will share the ring via a face-to-face confrontation on Smackdown Live. This is for the first time these two women superstars will appear together since the historic Wrestlemania 35. Becky won that match to become the dual champion and make history by pinning Ronda Rousey. But she never pinned he nemesis i.e. the third performer of the match.
So Charlotte Flair always had a point to confront Becky Lynch following Wrestlemania and demand a championship match. However, fans have reacted in a negative way since McMahon always handpicked her to be the very best in the female locker room. A renewal of the rivalry between Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair is not what they want to see. It happened thousands of times in the past but WWE wanted to go forward with it once more as the next pay-per-view approaches.
Over on WWE Raw, Becky Lynch already has a target for the red-strapped belt. Lacey Evans has entered a feud with The Man since Wrestlemania passed by. She also earned the number one contender’s spot by defeating Natalya in a one-on-one match during the Superstar Shakeup. So WWE already confirmed that Lacey will challenge Lynch for the Raw women’s championship at Money in the Bank 2019 PPV.
