WrestleMania 36 - 5 potential finishes for Becky Lynch vs Shayna Baszler - RAW Women's Championship 

Becky Lynch defends her RAW Women's Championship against Shayna Baszler as part of WrestleMania weekend in what could be Lynch's toughest test to date. The former NXT Women's Champion has already made an emphatic statement by showing up and biting Lynch on her RAW debut before going on to eliminate all of her opponents in the Elimination Chamber match a few weeks ago.

Baszler has been pushed hard by WWE in recent weeks and could be the only woman in WWE currently who could overcome the threat of The Man, who has had a fantastic year so far. Lynch has held the RAW Women's Championship since last year's WrestleMania when she defeated both Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair in the main event, could Baszler be the woman to finally dethrone her?

The build-up to this match has seen some exciting storytelling, which means there are a number of endings that could reasonably make sense.

#5 Becky Lynch retains her Women's Championship

Becky Lynch is the longest reigning RAW Women's Championship in WWE history after holding the Championship for a calendar year following the WrestleMania 35 main event. In that time, Lynch has brushes aside every challenger in her path, but her biggest threat to her championship has been Shayna Baszler.

That being said, Baszler has only recently made the step up to the main roster after completely dominating the NXT Women's Division. The Man had already become a victim of The Queen of Spades back at Survivor Series when the seeds were planted for this WrestleMania feud.

Baszler has never faced Becky Lynch one-on-one and WrestleMania could be the perfect place for The Man to assert her dominance and prove that she's the future of WWE's Women's Division.

#4 Shayna Baszler becomes RAW Women's Champion

Becky Lynch has been the main woman in WWE for a year now as the current Champion, the cover star of WWE 2K20, and the only woman to pin Ronda Rousey in a WWE ring. WWE has continued to push Lynch since Rousey's departure and it's believed that the former UFC Champion could have returned and faced Lynch at this year's WrestleMania, but the stars didn't align in time.

Instead, Baszler is the woman who stepped up to The Man and she could be the one to finally dethrone her. Baszler was able to defeat both Lynch and Bayley in the triple threat bragging rights match.

Baszler brings such a unique style to the ring and Lynch isn't prepared for the threat that she comes with. It was a triple threat match that allowed The Man to pin Rousey, this time around it's a one-on-one match with one of Rousey's closest friends and since Baszler was pushed as an unstoppable beast in NXT, it's likely that she will get the same treatment on the main roster.

It wouldn't make any sense for WWE to allow Baszler to lose her first title match on the main roster after being so dominant on NXT.

#3 Becky Lynch refuses to submit

Over the past year, Becky Lynch has proved that she's resilient, but she's going to need more than that to get past The Submission Magician since she can turn any move into a potential finisher. Shayna Baszler has years of MMA behind her and has already forced many members of the NXT roster to pass out in the past.

It's likely that if Baszler is victorious then she will use the Kirifuda Clutch and given the fact Lynch is somewhat stubborn, she will be another female wrestler who refuses to submit and instead is put asleep by The Queen of Spades.

Of course, Lynch will put up a fight much like Nikki Cross, Bianca Belair, and even Kairi Sane at one point but in the end, all of these women passed out to Baszler.

There is a reason why Triple H pushed Baszler so hard in NXT and this weekend at WrestleMania fans who haven't watched the beginning of the former MMA star's career will have front row seats to what could be the start of her RAW Women's Championship reign.

#2 Shayna Baszler loses it and causes a disqualification

Becky Lynch is smart, she's not a wrestler who would go out there and cause herself to be disqualified, but Baszler is hot-headed and could be aggravated by The Man to the point where she snaps and is unable to stop attacking the RAW Women's Champion when told to by the referee.

This year's WrestleMania won't be on the same scale as the usual show that WWE provides, which means that there could be some extension in some of the current storylines. Baszler is obviously supposed to win this match here but given the fact that there is no audience in attendance, WWE could make the decision to extend this feud into SummerSlam and allow Shayna Baszler to lift her first main roster Championship in front of a live crowd.

Baszler much like Drew McIntyre could be about to realize her dream on the main roster and it's somewhat unfair to allow her to celebrate the moment in an empty arena, whilst it would be a unique win, she deserves a full crowd to be behind her when The Man is finally defeated.

#1 Ronda Rousey makes her return

The woman who handed Becky Lynch the RAW Women's Champion last year at WrestleMania was Shayna Baszler's best friend Ronda Rousey. Lynch was the first woman to pin the former UFC Champion in a WWE ring and Rousey hasn't been seen since.

Many of the WWE Universe believe that the company has kept the RAW Women's Championship on Becky Lynch over the past year because they were hoping that Rousey would be able to make her return and set up a rematch for this year's WrestleMania.

Rousey hasn't been able to make her return to set up a match, but there's nothing stopping the former Champion from becoming a thorn in Lynch's side and helping Baszler to walk out with the Championship.

WrestleMania has been pre-recorded and there are travel restrictions in place which mean that it's not likely that Rousey would be able to return as part of the show without an audience. That being said, rumors have stated that Rousey has been taking to WWE officials regarding a return so there is a very small chance that she could be part of her third consecutive WrestleMania.
