Becky Lynch in WWE

Becky Lynch travelled to Florida to report to WWE’s developmental territory NXT after signing a two-year developmental contract with them in April 2013. On the June 26 episode of NXT, Lynch defeated Summer Rae on her television debut. The following week, Lynch and Bayley competed in a losing tag-team match against the BFFs, the NXT Women’s Champion Charlotte and Sasha Banks. Lynch faced Charlotte in non-title contests throughout the course of the following few months, losing three in a row.

The Women’s Revolution

After Stephanie McMahon called for a revolution in the WWE Divas division, Lynch, Charlotte, and Sasha Banks made their official main roster debuts on the 13 July episode of Raw. The three teams got into a fight when Lynch and Charlotte started siding with Paige, who was at odds with Team Bella, while Banks sided with Naomi and Tamina.

On the 20th July episode of Raw, Lynch made her Raw debut alongside Paige in a losing effort against Sasha Banks and Naomi. On the Main Event programme on July 28th, she defeated Brie Bella to win her maiden singles match. At SummerSlam, the three teams finally squared off in a three-team elimination match, which Lynch eventually pinned Brie Bella to win.

 

Winning the SmackDown Women’s title

Lynch defeated Natalya in her maiden match as a member of SmackDown after becoming the first female selected during the 2016 WWE draft. In a losing effort against Alexa Bliss, Natalya and Nikki Bella in a six-woman tag team match at SummerSlam, Lynch joined up with Carmella and Naomi.

Becky defeated Carmella to win the six-pack elimination challenge at Backlash on September 11 and become the first SmackDown Women’s Champion. Due to Lynch’s actual injury, her first championship defence against Alexa Bliss was postponed to the November 8 broadcast of SmackDown, where Lynch triumphed.

Double Champion

Lynch participated in the women’s Royal Rumble match on January 27, 2019, at the Royal Rumble event, taking the place of the injured Lana, who was the 28th entrant. Lynch would eventually eliminate Charlotte Flair to win the match. Lynch continued her conflict with Ronda Rousey the following night on Raw and decided to challenge Rousey for the Raw Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 35. Vince McMahon later added Charlotte Flair to the match making it a triple threat match. Lynch controversially pinned Rousey to win both belts at WrestleMania, which featured a women’s main event for the first time ever.
