9-time champion to return and dethrone Nia Jax instantly on WWE SmackDown? Exploring why Liv Morgan should be scared!
Nia Jax is the reigning WWE Women's Champion. She won the prestigious title by defeating Bayley at SummerSlam. Since that time, she has gone on to retain her gold against Michin and Bayley.
It isn't clear who will be the next female star to step up and try to dethrone The Irresistible Force, but there could be an unexpected twist. Instead of it being a current member of the SmackDown roster, it could be the returning Becky Lynch. The Man is a five-time Women's World Champion, a two-time RAW Women's Champion, a one-time NXT Women's Champion, and a one-time Women's Tag Team Champion.
The Irish star could potentially return in an upcoming episode of SmackDown, perhaps as soon as tonight. From there, she could challenge Nia to an impromptu title match and win it in stunning fashion. This would be huge for Becky, SmackDown, and the women's division. It would also be bad news for both Nia Jax and RAW's Liv Morgan.
For Nia, the defeat would be a major blow. She would lose her prized WWE Women's Title. Jax and Lynch are no strangers to one another. Nia infamously battered Becky during her first push as The Man and later took credit for Becky's surge in popularity.
The two battled a few times this year. The Irresistible Force was the first to stand tall, but in the end, Becky defeated Nia Jax. She could very well do it again, but this time for the Australian's title. However, the angle is speculative.
Becky Lynch winning the WWE Women's Championship is bad news for Liv Morgan
This would also be bad news for WWE Women's World Champion Liv Morgan, and she should be scared if it happens. Triple H made a major announcement at Bad Blood, and it could lead to Liv and Becky locking horns in Riyadh if The Man dethrones Nia Jax.
The Game revealed the Crown Jewel Championship last Saturday. He went on to state that both male world champions would clash for it at the WWE Crown Jewel PLE in Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, both women's world champions would clash for the Women's Crown Jewel Championship that same night.
As of now, Nia Jax and Liv Morgan are set to clash since they're the reigning world champions of their respective brands. However, if Becky were to return and dethrone Nia, The Man would replace Jax. This might motivate Lynch even more, given her history with Morgan.
Liv won the Women's World Championship by defeating Becky Lynch at the King and Queen of the Ring PLE, but she did so thanks to "accidental" help from Dominik Mysterio.
Dirty Dom then pulled the same antics in a rematch, where the two wrestled inside a steel cage. Lynch surely wants revenge and could get it at Crown Jewel if she were to first dethrone Jax. Morgan having Becky and Rhea Ripley as her enemies at the same time would be bad news.
