Becky Lynch is one of the most exciting women on the WWE roster. She has been away for more than a year now as she took time away from the ring to give birth.

Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch welcomed their first child, Roux, to the world in December last year. Lynch has not been seen in a WWE ring since she left the company last year, but has been teasing a return for some time.

Now, with the wrestling audience back, it’s only a matter of time before Lynch returns to the ring as well.

With that being the case, in this article, we will look into five potential opponents for Becky Lynch when she finally returns to WWE.


#5 Superstars Becky Lynch could face: Charlotte Flair

Charlotte Flair is one of the most obvious choices for Becky Lynch to face when she returns. Now that Nikki A.S.H is the WWE RAW Women’s Champion, she should hold the title for some time. This means that while Charlotte Flair should still be looking to get her title back, she should not have an easy time of it.

She could be in a feud with Rhea Ripley, but better than that for her, would be a feud with Becky Lynch herself.

Becky and Charlotte have natural chemistry together, be it from their real-life friendship or their previous feuds. While this is a feud that fans have seen before, seeing it again, when it’s Becky Lynch returning to the ring after so long would be something that could work well.

Given the time that Lynch has spent away from the ring, defeating Charlotte Flair in a feud would immediately establish her credentials. It would not hurt Charlotte either, as her matches with Lynch have always been some of the best moments of her career so far.

#4 Superstars Becky Lynch could face: Rhea Ripley

While a match against Charlotte Flair would be interesting, Becky Lynch returning to face Rhea Ripley is an intriguing proposition as well. The two wrestlers are acquainted with each other, but a feud between them is something that has not happened.

For the moment, this match-up is less likely as Rhea is turning face and Becky will probably return as a face. But if by chance she does turn up as a heel, a feud against her would do wonders for Ripley.


#3 Superstars Becky Lynch could face: Asuka

When Becky Lynch was leaving WWE to give birth to her daughter, it was an extremely emotional moment that was shared by Asuka. She relinquished the title to Asuka, before letting everyone know why she was leaving.

She trusted Asuka to hold on to the title while she was away and Asuka had an entertaining run as the champion.

However, Asuka could provide a shock by turning heel when Becky Lynch returns. She has been a face for a long time now and having lost the title needs something new in her character. Hopefully, a heel turn and an assault on Lynch could start a feud that would help both superstars.

#2 Superstars Becky Lynch could face: Nikki A.S.H.

Becky Lynch could return to WWE and immediately put in a claim for the title that she never lost. As mentioned previously, Lynch never lost the RAW Women’s Championship but relinquished it when she walked away to attend to her family's needs.

However, when she returns, she could immediately stake her claim for the title. It would be interesting to see her inserted into the title picture as it is now, with Nikki A.S.H. holding it.

There’s no telling which direction the storyline would go, making for some rather intriguing possibilities.


#1 Superstars Becky Lynch could face: Sasha Banks

Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks are well acquainted with each other from their time in NXT as the four horsewomen. However, when it comes to the main roster, Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch have not had that memorable feud.

With Bayley out for nine months, Becky Lynch could return to SmackDown after Sasha returns and feud with her. The two women would be able to create magic in the ring and them wrestling is something every fan wants to see.
