7 Ups And 8 Downs From WWE Raw (Dec 9)

1. Remember Becky Lynch?

It wasn’t all that long ago that Becky Lynch was the talk of WWE. She rode a wave of popularity to defeating Ronda Rousey (and Charlotte Flair) in the main event of WrestleMania 35.

Then her relationship with Seth Rollins was outed and they feuded with Lacey Evans and Baron Corbin. (Yawn.) But recently, she had a nice confrontation with Shayna Baszler that ended with the NXT Women’s Champion pinning Bayley in a triple threat at Survivor Series.

And then the Raw Women’s Champion disappeared.

Lynch returned to Raw Monday night to join Charlotte Flair’s feud with the Kabuki Warriors, “winning” a match against the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions by DQ when they attacked her with a chair and put her through a table. This set up a TLC tag title match at the TLC PPV.

It’s worth noting that Lynch hasn’t defended the Raw women’s title in more than two months, and now it’s possible that she and Flair are going to win the tag titles – because the women’s division has been so well booked this fall.
