WWE RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch has broken Ronda Rousey's record by holding the coveted title for 232 days, and is still going strong. Lynch posted a tweet to acknowledge the same, and took a dig at her current booking in the process.

Former UFC star Rousey won the WWE RAW Women's title at SummerSlam 2018 by defeating Alexa Bliss. The Baddest Woman On The Planet kept the title on her shoulder for a whopping 231 days. At WrestleMania 35, Rousey defended her belt in a Triple Threat match that also involved Lynch and Charlotte Flair. Lynch pinned Rousey to win both the RAW and SmackDown Live Women's belts, and the latter's reign as Champion came to an end.

Ever since then, "The Man" has successfully defended her RAW Women's title on several occasions against the likes of Sasha Banks, Lacey Evans, and Natalya. Yesterday, Lynch surpassed Ronda's reigns as Champion, and posted a tweet soon after. Lynch has been regularly teaming up with Charlotte Flair lately, against the likes of The Kabuki Warriors and The IIconics. Her tweet seems to be taking a dig at her current booking in the Women's Tag Team division.

While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
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.
