Becky Lynch's rise to the top kicked off after her heel turn at last year's SummerSlam PPV. This resulted in the birth of The Man, which was a major reason why Lynch was inserted in the first-ever main event of WrestleMania.

What has been a constant throughout this whole journey is how effectively Becky has used her Twitter handle to advance storylines and put her opponents down on a regular basis. Be it Ronda Rousey, Charlotte Flair, or Lacey Evans, Becky hasn't spared anyone. She recently took a major shot at a Hall of Famer after they shared an awkward incident during WWE's tour of Europe.

The heart of the matter

WrestleMania 35 had a runtime of more than 7 hours, which has now become a norm for WWE. It has been a long while since WWE has started producing longer PPVs with a long string of matches stacked on the card. The WWE Universe has expressed its displeasure on this on several occasions, but to no avail.

Now, Becky Lynch seems to have taken a stand and called out WWE for producing longer PPVs. Lynch retweeted a post promoting her appearance at a celeb fan fest in San Antonio. The fest will last 6 hours, which didn't go unnoticed by Lynch. She highlighted the runtime, and referred to it as a short PPV in WWE's eyes.

What's next?

Becky Lynch has lost the moniker of Becky 2 Belts, but is still holding the Raw Women's title. From what we saw on tonight's Raw, she still seems to have some unfinished business with Lacey Evans.

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.
