Becky Lynch teased huge WrestleMania 40 match
Becky Lynch, currently involved in a heated feud with Nia Jax, has targeted the WWE Women’s World Heavyweight Champion, Rhea Ripley. Ripley, who secured the title at WrestleMania 39 against Charlotte Flair, remains an unstoppable force in RAW’s women’s division.
In an interview on Strutting from Gorilla, Lynch discussed her focus within the women’s division, expressing her desire for a potential WrestleMania 40 clash with Ripley.
She stated, “There are so many talented up and comers. One match that we haven’t gotten to yet, numero uno on the docket is I’ve got to shut up Nia Jax, first. We haven’t had that match, which is unbelievable to think that Nia Jax and I haven’t gone one-on-one in a WWE ring, but it’s true. Then, there is the next stop, which is taking the title off Rhea Ripley. That title, when I hold that title, that title is the main event of every show. Her title has been seen in many main events, but not because she’s been defending it, no, just because she’s being the accompaniment to the main event. I can’t have that. I’m sick of that. I’m sick of that and I’m going to take that title back off her, preferably at WrestleMania.”
It will be interesting to see whether fans will get to witness the dream match between Lynch and Ripley at WrestleMania 40.
