Becky Lynch Vs Bianca Belair Announced For 11/1 WWE Raw
For the Raw Women's title
Oct 26, 2021
WWE has announced a Women's title match for next week's edition of Monday Night Raw, pitting champion Becky Lynch against challenger Bianca Belair.
Belair challenged Lynch to a title match during tonight's Raw broadcast, to which Lynch eventually accepted.
Lynch attempted to name other deserving challengers for her title besides Belair, mentioning Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan. Belair countered by noting that Lynch had to cheat in their title match at Crown Jewel, and was thus demanding a rematch.
Lynch tried to duck the challenge at first, leading to a brawl between the two. Lynch soon accepted the challenge, but said it wouldn't take place tonight.
The feud between Lynch and Belair dates back to SummerSlam, when Lynch made a surprise return after 16 months off on maternity leave. Lynch ended up filling in for an absent Sasha Banks in a match for Belair's SmackDown Women's title, and defeated her in less than 30 seconds for the belt.
Lynch became Raw Women's champion on Friday's SmackDown, after swapping belts with then-Raw Women's champion Charlotte Flair in what proved to be a controversial in-ring segment.
