That's what WWE would need to do if they had any designs on putting Becky Lynch inside a ring opposite NXT's Rhea Ripley. Despite speaking up for her longevity on the brand recently, it does seem that Ripley will leave Wednesday nights behind and make the leap to Mondays or Fridays soon.

If she lands on Raw, then she can get some wind in her sails before Becky has her baby, figures out motherhood and is ready to make a return. At this stage, Lynch's comeback seems so far off, but she might not be able to resist a few battles against fresh blood, and WWE would definitely let her work part time in 2021.

Passing the torch to Rhea would represent a nice comeback for Bex. Ripley was let down badly by focus on Charlotte Flair earlier this year, and that ended up slowing her roll. A few wins over Raw's finest and then 'The Man' could solve everything.
