Becky Lynch Is Pregnant, Relinquishes Raw Women’s Title To Asuka
The Man is set to become a Mom.
Becky Lynch relinquished the RAW Women’s Championship to Asuka, winner of Sunday’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
Lynch made the announcement at the beginning of Raw tonight and began by talking about her time throughout the company, as well as what the fans have meant to her. Becky then said she had to go away for awhile, but was interrupted by Asuka.
When Asuka came to the ring, she learned the Money in the Bank match wasn’t just for a title opportunity … it was for the Raw Women’s title. Becky opened the briefcase to reveal the title inside. Asuka celebrated with her belt and danced around the ring.
Becky told Asuka to go be a warrior and she will go be a mother.
Becky won the Raw Women’s title at WrestleMania 35 after defeating Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair in the main event of the show. She then held the belt through WrestleMania 36 and defended her title successfully against Shayna Baszler. Becky’s reign lasted 399 days.
Lynch and Seth Rollins announced their engagement in August of last year.
In a subsequent interview with People.com, Becky says she learned she was pregnant in April and that the baby is due in December.
Lynch also said she won’t be making a decision regarding her in-ring future yet. “It’s just such a joyous time and then such a sad time too. I loved this and I’ve given my life to this. I’ve achieved everything that I want to achieve in this business,” she explained.
“I don’t know what the next chapter is because I only know what it’s like to think for myself when I’m by myself,” the WWE star continued. “So I don’t know what it’ll look like and how my priorities shift and what I’m going to want in the future. So, everything’s open.”
Watch her announcement below.
WWE RAW Preview 5/11/20
Tonight’s WWE RAW will take place from the closed-set Performance Center in Orlando, Florida with fallout from last night’s WWE Money In the Bank pay-per-view.
Vince McMahon Reportedly Calls For Shorter WWE PPV Events
The 2020 WWE Money In the Bank pay-per-view ran for a total of 3 hours and 24 minutes, including the one-hour Kickoff pre-show, making it the shortest WWE main roster pay-per-view from the United States in 30 years, not counting the In Your House specials.
WWE Chairman Vince McMahon reportedly wanted a shorter show for Money In the Bank, according to Paul Davis of Wrestling News. The current plan is for WWE pay-per-view times to be shorter until they are allowed to have fans back in the arenas.
There’s still no word yet on when fans will be allowed back at WWE events due to the coronavirus pandemic, as everything still depends on those COVID-19 trends. It’s possible that we see some fans allowed at WWE shows in Florida this summer, but that is far from confirmed.
The shorter Money In the Bank event has received praise from fans on social media, with many calling for this to be the new normal for future pay-per-views.

NJPW Reportedly Considering Empty Arena Shows
Wednesday, NJPW was forced to cancel its upcoming Wrestle Dynasty event at Madison Square Garden on August 22 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“In the interests of running the best and safest possible event for fans, NJPW has arrived at the decision to postpone Wrestle Dynasty in Madison Square Garden,” NJPW wrote on Twitter. “Sorry for the delay, but we’ll be back stronger in 2021!”
This comes shortly after NJPW nixed the entire Best of the Super Juniors tour from May 12 until June 6.
On the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer reported that NJPW did not want to cancel the MSG show as they were considering it their number two event of the year, behind Wrestle Kingdom.
Meltzer also noted NJPW is now discussing empty arena shows, something they weren’t doing previously. The company would have to wait until they were allowed to even do an empty arena show, but it’s something to consider as they don’t necessarily want their roster sitting around month after month.
Japan is currently under a state of emergency until at least May 31.

AJ Styles Says His Surprise Return On Raw “Could Have Been More”
AJ Styles has heard the rumblings from fans saying his return to Raw this week could have been more special … and “The Phenomenal One” agrees.
During a Mixer stream on Wednesday, Styles first addressed the lack of creativity in returning from being “buried alive” with no changes to his character.
“The return could have been more,” he said. “I’ve heard people talk about ‘Well, I mean, you kinda just wasted it. AJ Styles was buried alive and he could have come back as a different character, in a different mood, a different look. Something different about AJ Styles. He came back and he was exactly the same as before he got buried.’ I’m with you.”
In case you missed it … Styles returned to action Monday night on Raw, winning a Gauntlet Match to earn himself a spot in Sunday’s Money in the Bank ladder match. It was the first we’ve seen of Styles since getting “buried” in the Boneyard Match against The Undertaker at WrestleMania.
Speaking on his stream, AJ theorizes that he was brought back to beef up the card for Sunday’s pay-per-view. “I think circumstances had a lot to do with AJ Styles coming back when he did … maybe we need some more star power in that match,” he said. “Maybe that’s what it was.”
Styles joins Daniel Bryan, Rey Mysterio, Aleister Black, King Corbin and Otis in Sunday’s ladder match taking place at WWE Headquarters.
Regardless of reasoning, Styles wishes he had a do-over. “I wish we could have waited,” he said. “I think, if times would have been different, that would have been something that we went with.”
Watch his comments in the video at the link below (starting after the 12-minute mark).
