Becky Lynch is set to compete in the upcoming 2026 Royal Rumble women’s match while holding the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship. Known widely as “The Man,” Lynch portrays a confident and assertive character, embracing a heel persona that has drawn significant attention within the women’s division. Her approach has played a pivotal role in elevating the Women’s Intercontinental Championship, making it one of the most sought-after titles in WWE.
Plans Revealed for Championship Ambitions After Royal Rumble Victory
During a recent interview on ESPN First Take, Lynch shared her intentions should she win the Royal Rumble women’s match, a feat achieved only by a select few including Charlotte Flair, who has won twice. Lynch described a Royal Rumble win as the next chapter in her legacy, asserting her status as the greatest female wrestler of all time. She outlined plans to pursue both Women’s world titles after potentially securing the Royal Rumble win, indicating her desire to hold multiple championships simultaneously.
“Well, here’s the thing. So, I’m in a list all by myself because I don’t know if you know this, but I’m the greatest female wrestler of all time. And it’s not just me saying it. Other people say it. Actually, everybody says it. Uh, Sports Illustrated says it. The Bleacher Report says it. I’m pretty sure ESPN says it. Um, so really I am in a list all by myself. It would do nothing other than continue my list and my legacy of greatness, which is going to continue while I win the 2026 Royal Rumble. You know, really, I have the best lawyers in the country. I probably shouldn’t be in the Royal Rumble because this [Women’s Intercontinental Championship] is the most important title in all of WWE right now. And me. Everybody wants to challenge me for my title, but they’re not going to get an opportunity to do that because I’m going to win the Royal Rumble. And then I’m going to challenge, maybe I’ll challenge both of them. Maybe I’ll take all three titles. I think the business would be a lot better off if I had all three titles.”
