Becky Lynch’s face run after WrestleMania 41 return mirrors her recent tag team championship reign—both were under 24 hours. Alongside Lyra Valkyria, Lynch captured the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles, only to lose them in an opening match on Monday Night Raw after WrestleMania against The Judgment Day’s Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez.
Despite showing promise as a cohesive unit, Lynch and Valkyria were ultimately outmatched by their opponents’ superior teamwork. The defeat was compounded by Lynch’s shocking betrayal, as she viciously attacked Valkyria after the match, leaving her battered and titleless in the ring.
The bout began at a frenetic pace, with Lynch and Morgan exchanging stiff elbow strikes in a heated exchange. Valkyria soon tagged herself in, displaying resilience against Morgan, who matched her in speed and agility. The majority of the contest saw Rodriguez dominating Valkyria, with Lynch and Morgan intermittently intervening. Morgan, who had earlier failed to hit her signature Oblivion, finally connected with the move to secure the pinfall.
Lynch, still recovering from a collision with Rodriguez outside the ring, could only watch in disbelief as Morgan rolled to the floor, triumphantly clutching the newly won tag team titles. The abrupt loss not only ended Lynch and Valkyria’s fleeting reign but also set the stage for Lynch’s ruthless post-match assault, signaling a potential darker turn in her character.
WWE fans react to Becky Lynch’s heel turn
At Raw After WrestleMania 41, Becky Lynch shocked the WWE Universe by fully embracing her villainous side. On the previous night, she captured the Women’s Tag Team Championship by pinning Liv Morgan. However, the next night, Becky’s partner, Lyra Valkyria, was pinned to lose those titles. Thus, it became easy for Becky to blame Lyra for the loss and beat her up for the same.
Fans erupted on X, with mixed reactions flooding. Many longtime Lynch supporters expressed heartbreak, lamenting the end of “The Man” they had cheered for years. Others praised the bold storytelling, calling it a refreshing twist that revitalized her character. Some fans even speculated that this faction—Lynch, Seth Rollins, and Paul Heyman—could become WWE’s next great villainous dynasty. Whether loved or hated, one thing was clear: Becky Lynch had everyone talking.
Big Time Becks was away from WWE for nearly a year since May 2024. Her last match came against Liv Morgan on Raw after King and Queen of the Ring, where she lost against Morgan inside a steel cage. Then, directly at WrestleMania, she showed up and avenged her loss by taking away a different title from Liv.
