One of the most feel-good moments in Monday Night Raw history happened on the May 11th, 2020 edition of the show when Becky Lynch announced her pregnancy. There were plenty of reasons to be happy about this, but also a few to feel disappointed about. Because of this, The Man is gone and fans don't know when or if they will see her again. One of the biggest things fans will miss in Lynch's absence is her going head to head with her biggest rivals.
Throughout her career, Lynch has had many great rivals, and many great stories to go along with those rivalries. Here we will go back and look at the entirety of Becky Lynch's career up to this point and list her 10 greatest rivals.
10 Team BAD and Team Bella
When Becky Lynch first debuted on the main roster along with Sasha Banks and Charlotte Flair they all disbanded into teams and a rivalry erupted for a better part of a year between Team PCB (Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and Paige), Team BAD (Sasha Banks, Naomi, and Tamina), and Team Bella (Nikki Bella, Brie Bella, and Alicia Fox).
While it's not a rivalry that is remembered fondly, it gave Becky Lynch a chance to show what she can do on the main roster. Not only that, but it provided a bunch of great matches involving Lynch, and was a chapter of some rivalries that became more prominent later.
Best Match: SummerSlam 2015
9 Lacey Evans
Lacey Evans was Becky Lynch's first challenger for the Raw Women's Championship after she won it at WrestleMania 35. This turned into a pretty heated rivalry that led to multiple pay per view matches and even got to the point where one included Seth Rollins and Baron Corbin.
While their matches left much to be desired, it was still a good feud with both women being good on the mic and Lacey doing whatever she could to get in Becky's head.
Best Match: Extreme Rules 2019
8 Paige
To conclude their time as a part of Team PCB, Paige turned her back on Charlotte and Becky Lynch, calling Becky the "least relevant" member of the group in the process. While the rivalry between these two women was short, it was pretty sweet.
After she turned her back on them, Paige would go on to attack Lynch (along with Charlotte) multiple more times, with all women taking personal shots at each other on the mic. The final chapter concluded with a pair of matches on Raw, Paige getting the victory over Becky the first week, and then Becky getting her vengeance the next.
Best Match: Raw: Nov 9th, 2015
7 Shayna Baszler
Becky Lynch's most recent rival comes in next, as Shayna Baszler seemed to bring out more of the badass side of Becky. Their rivalry started just before Survivor Series 2019 and only got more heated from there.
Lynch and Baszler would take turns taking shots at each other, with what turned into a very physical feud. It all culminated in a match at WrestleMania 36 which Becky won. Even after their match and when Lynch announced her pregnancy, Baszler would still take shots at Becky leaving fans hoping that there is more to come in the future.
Best Match: WrestleMania 36
6 Natalya
Natalya and Becky Lynch went to battle multiple times in good matches throughout their careers and for different reasons.
Their rivalry first started when Natalya turned on Lynch at Money In The Bank 2016 and they didn't look back from there. Throughout the years they would go head to head in both 1 on 1 and tag team matches. Their biggest 1 on 1 matches came at Battleground 2016 and SummerSlam 2019.
Best Match: SummerSlam 2019
5 Asuka
Becky Lynch and Asuka have always seemed to get the best out of one another. They always walk the fine line perfectly of hatred for each other and respect for one another.
The builds to their matches have always been great, and the actual matches have been better. They put on absolute clinics every time they went 1 on 1 which made everyone make sure they watched when that happened.
Best Match: Raw: Feb 10th, 2020
4 Ronda Rousey
Maybe Becky Lynch's most high profile rival, Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch have a long history that is still very unresolved. They first crossed paths after Lynch attacked Rousey leading up to a scheduled one on one match between the two at Survivor Series 2018.
Due to Lynch sustaining an injury, the Survivor Series match never happened but their rivalry was far from over. Rousey would go on to cost Lynch her title at TLC 2018 and then would eventually meet in a triple threat match involving Charlotte Flair in the main event of WrestleMania. They have yet to meet in a 1 on 1 match, but it is on the top of many fan's dream lists.
Best Match: WrestleMania 35
3 Alexa Bliss
In a rivalry based around both women wanting to be on top, Alexa Bliss and Becky Lynch were bitter rivals in 2016 and 2017. They first met on the November 8th, 2016 edition of SmackDown Live where Bliss challenged Lynch for the SmackDown Women's Title. Lynch won the match but their rivalry definitely wasn't over.
These two went head to head a few months later at TLC 2016 where Alexa dethroned Becky. For many months, Bliss and Lynch would be the highlight of SmackDown programming as this turned into a very heated and intense feud.
Best Match: SmackDown Live: Feb 10th, 2016
2 Sasha Banks
Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks have a long history, and every chapter of it has been great. Going back to their NXT days, Banks and Lynch have been fierce rivals and competitors, trying to get the best of one another at every turn.
They would go to battle for the NXT Women's Championship, and then as Team BAD vs Team PCB when called up to the main roster. They would then compete for the inaugural Women's Championship, and then later on for the Raw Women's Championship. Because they are so good almost their entire rivalry has revolved around championships but that hasn't stopped it from being a great blood feud.
Best Match: Hell In A Cell 2019
1 Charlotte Flair
It should be no surprise that Charlotte Flair tops this list. Originally best friends, Charlotte vs Becky Lynch has become one of the best rivalries in WWE history. Their backstory is perfect with both women coming out on top at different times.
These women have fought everywhere for everything. First in NXT, and then on the main roster. They have fought over the NXT Women's Championship, Raw Women's Championship, and SmackDown Women's Championship. Better yet, their matches get better every time they match up, which makes fans hope there is more in store for them down the line.
