Becky Lynch wins Women’s Intercontinental title on WWE Raw
Becky Lynch is once again the Women’s Intercontinental Champion.
Lynch defeated Maxxine Dupri through underhanded tactics on Monday in order to become a two-time Women’s Intercontinental Champion. The finish had Dupri apply the ankle lock to Lynch, who struggled to escape. However, when Dupri went to the floor, Lynch managed to bridge Dupri for a cover then grabbed the ropes to ensure a three-count.
After the match, a jubilant Lynch celebrated with her title as Dupri was left stunned by the result in the ring.
Dupri shocked the world in November when she pinned Lynch to win the championship, her first in WWE. Lynch had become distracted by the returning AJ Lee, which allowed Dupri to launch off with a crossbody. Prior to their match, Dupri had also been successful in defeating Lynch on two other occasions.
In the weeks since losing the title, as well as losing at War Games, Lynch launched a boycott angry about her recent losses, refusing to appear on Raw. Lynch eventually broke that boycott and confronted Dupri, leading the two to agree to a title rematch for Monday.
