WWE RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch opened this week’s episode of WWE RAW by making a major announcement. As soon as she started speaking, she was choked up. She said things are changing and she needs to do something about it. Lynch said she asked the decision-makers to raise the stakes of the Women’s Money in the Bank match. Through tears, Lynch reflected on her career. Lynch talked about how the fans have always had her back. She said she has to go away for a while. Asuka, who won the Women’s Money in the Bank match, interrupted Lynch. The Man called Asuka the best wrestler in the world. Lynch said the Money in the Bank match wasn’t for a title opportunity; it was for the WWE RAW Women’s Championship itself. “You are the champion,” said Lynch. Asuka grabbed the title and started celebrating. Lynch said she’s going to go be a mother while Asuka gets to be a champion. Asuka and Lynch hugged.
