5. Becky Lynch will retain the WWE RAW Women's Championship against Doudrop

At the Royal Rumble, Becky Lynch will defend the RAW Women's Championship against Doudrop. This comes after Doudrop won a Triple Threat #1 contender's match a few weeks ago on RAW.
The story of this match is fairly simple. Becky does not want to face Bianca Belair, who has taken her to the limit multiple times. This was evident when she distracted Belair in the #1 contender's match, which led to Doudrop pinning Liv Morgan for the victory.
Meanwhile, Becky has also been putting Doudrop over on commentary and in promos. This was because out of the three women vying for the title shot at the Rumble, Becky saw Doudrop as the easiest opponent of the three.

The outcome for this match could likely see Becky Lynch retain the RAW Women's Championship. The promotion is heading down the path of one last encounter between Becky and Bianca Belair.
The match will likely take place at WrestleMania 38. Doudrop is just another victim on the way to Dallas for Lynch. However, a good performance against Becky can bode well for Doudrop in 2022.
