Becky Lynch will wrestle her first singles match since SummerSlam when she works opposite Bayley on Monday's episode of Raw.

WWE announced the bout online, then touted it again during Friday's SmackDown. This will be Becky's third match since returning from a shoulder injury in November - she formed part of the babyface team at Survivor Series: WarGames, then worked a three-way vs. Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross on the 5 December edition of Raw.

Understandably, WWE's social channels are promoting the hell out of Lynch vs. Bayley for Monday. This is a big time match, and will mark the first time both women have wrestled each other one-on-one since the 30 April 2019 episode of SmackDown Live.

It's been a minute then.

Lynch got the win on that occasion, and Triple H could reach for the same result again come Raw. If not, then 'Big Time Becks' will still be searching for her first on-camera win since beating Asuka in a 'No Holds Barred' clash on the 4 July flagship.

A loss would also technically mean four defeats in a row for the celebrated veteran star.
