Becky Lynch is back on top of the world in WWE as she has become the new Women’s World Champion following a huge match on Raw.

Rhea Ripley was one of WWE’s most dominant champions, holding the Women’s World Championship for 380 days. The Judgment Day’s Eradicator continued her success at WrestleMania 40 as she defeated Becky Lynch to retain her gold.

However, on the Raw following WWE’s showpiece event, disaster struck. Rhea Ripley was attacked backstage by Liv Morgan with Ripley’s shoulder being driven into the wall and it seemed that beyond storyline, that caused a very real injury.

On Raw in Montreal, Rhea Ripley vacated her Women’s World Championship only to be taunted by Liv Morgan as a result. One report has given a likely timeline for Ripley’s return to the ring but it remains to be seen when the popular star will be back.

With the title vacated, WWE announced a battle royal for Raw in Columbus with the winner becoming the new Women’s World Champion.

Fourteen women entered the match which Nia Jax dominated in large patches. Things boiled down to Liv Morgan and Becky Lynch with The Man able to get the better of Morgan, nailing her with the Manhandle Slam on the apron which gave her the win.

The win gives Lynch her first main roster singles title in over two years and her first run with the title known as the Women’s World Championship.
