During the match, WWE RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch came out and stood on the stage. As the contest progressed, she approached the announce table and wore Jerry "The King" Lawler's crown in an amusing visual. The 33-year-old raised her title belt in the air following Baszler's win, with The Queen of Spades attacking Sane after the match.
WWE posted a picture of Lynch posing with Lawler's crown on its official Instagram handle and the post garnered the attention of a certain former Women's Champion.

Alexa Bliss, who feuded with Lynch on the Blue brand years ago, had an amusing response to the post, stating that she's pretty sure that wearing a crown is King Corbin's gimmick. Check out the post and Bliss' response below:
Lynch's look on RAW received a mixed reaction on social media. While many applauded her for trying something different, others were not too thrilled with it.
Lynch is currently looking forward to Elimination Chamber, where six women will fight inside the hellish structure to bag a shot at The Man's title.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
