Becky Lynch Issues Statement To WWE Fans After Announcing Pregnancy
As noted earlier, Becky Lynch opened tonight's WWE RAW and announced that she is pregnant with her first child. She then relinquished the RAW Women's Title to Asuka, revealing that Sunday's MITB Ladder Match was not for the women's briefcase and title shot, but for the actual RAW Women's Title. Becky said she will miss the fans, but she's off to be a mother.
The Man took to Twitter after the segment and sent a special message to WWE fans.
She wrote, "I have no idea what happens from here, but I do know that you've made all my dreams come true. I entered the PC in 2013 not knowing anyone, I'll leave that same building tonight with my new family. Thank you all so much."
Lynch, who has been engaged to marry Seth Rollins for several months now, had been champion since the WrestleMania 35 main event in 2019. This is Asuka's first reign with the red brand title.
Below is Becky's full tweet, along with shots from the opening segment with Asuka:
