For over a year, WWE star Becky Lynch has been at the top of the company's women's division, wrestling in the main event of WrestleMania 35, and holding the Raw Women's Championship longer than anyone else. However, Lynch's reign as Raw Women's Champion has come to an end, as she has announced that she is expecting her first child along with her fiance and fellow WWE superstar Seth Rollins.
Lynch made the announcement on the May 11 edition of Raw, where she also relinquished the title to Asuka. Asuka, who has long been one of Lynch's main rivals in WWE, previously won the Money in the Bank Ladder Match, believing it would give her a title shot whenever she wants. However, it was revealed on Raw that the match was secretly for the Raw Women's Championship all along.
If Becky Lynch returns to WWE down the line, one has to imagine that she will immediately be one of the top stars again. After all, Lynch is giving up the Raw Women's Championship without ever actually losing it, and at a time when she is one of the most popular wrestlers on the roster.
In the meantime, Lynch isn't the only WWE wrestler that recently lost their championship without actually losing it. WWE stripped Sami Zayn of the Intercontinental Championship recently, as Zayn is unable to defend it due to the coronavirus pandemic.
