3 reasons why Becky Lynch should retain her title at WWE Elimination Chamber (and 2 reasons why Lita should win)
On the January 31, 2022 episode of WWE Monday Night RAW, Lita challenged Women's Champion Becky Lynch to a title match at the Elimination Chamber. After a brief verbal confrontation between the two, Big Time Becks accepted her challenge.
The contest was made official for the February 19 premium live event, much to the excitement of WWE fans. Since the queen of Xtreme retired in 2006 and The Man debuted almost a decade later, this was a match few thought would ever happen.
But now that it's happening, there is a case to be made for both women to win the contest in Saudi Arabia. While Lita is a Hall of Famer and legend, Lynch is one of the biggest stars in the company right now. Both ladies are dream opponents for almost any woman on the roster. Whoever emerges victorious will be faced with many great possibilities going into WrestleMania 38.
On that note, let's explore three reasons why Becky Lynch should win at the Chamber and two reasons why Lita should pick up the win.
#5: WWE RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch: Big Time Becks should drop the title to a younger talent
WWE RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch is one of - if not - the most popular superstars in the company. Any rivalry involving her attracts a lot of attention and elevates the profile of whoever stands opposite her in the squared circle. If the title is to switch hands from a superstar of her magnitude with the whole world watching, it should be used to crown a new star.
The challenger at the Elimination Chamber is a legend of the business, who has done it all. She doesn't need the rub of ending the 182-day reign of a champion who hasn't been pinned in a title match for almost three years.
That honor should go to a younger superstar who needs to be established as a main event talent by winning a world championship.
