10 New Directions For WWE After Elimination Chamber 2024

10. Becky Lynch Challenging Rhea Ripley

It was one of wrestling's worst kept secrets, but Becky Lynch has finally been confirmed as Rhea Ripley's challenger for 'Mania. She won the opening Chamber match on Saturday, and then shook the cage chains like some sort of female, red-headed Ultimate Warrior. Now, Becks will go after 'Mami'.

Their showdown doesn't carry a rich enough story to headline either night ahead of other attractions involving Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, The Rock, Roman Reigns etc, but Lynch vs. Ripley will be a fine addition to either midcard across WrestleMania weekend. They'll guarantee a fun trip, if nothing else.

It'd be a shocker if Becky won, because Rhea is the future.

That's an important point, actually; WWE must realise that they don't have to switch every major championship in sight come 'Mania. Sometimes, it's OK for champs to retain. Ripley qualifies as someone who still has more to give as Women's World Champion.
