At WrestleMania 41, Becky Lynch teamed with Lyra Valkyria and defeated the then-champions Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez to capture the Women’s Tag Team Titles.
However, the next night on Raw, Morgan and Rodriguez regained their titles from Lynch and Valkyria. Following this title change, a surprising turn of events occurred as Lynch turned heel, attacking her tag team partner.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez noted the idea was one of Lynch’s.
“This whole thing was Becky’s idea. It was all Becky’s idea. I heard about it in advance. ‘Becky wants to come back, she wants to win the title, then turn on Lyra the next night.’ When I heard it, I was like, ‘What? This is an absolutely horrible idea.’ But as it turns out, her coming back and winning the title, if you went on Twitter after that show – they all cheered Becky and everything – but very shortly thereafter, there were all the ‘Becky Hogan’ posts,” Alvarez stated. “I didn’t know that her plan involved losing the title. I thought she was gonna turn on Lyra as champions and they’d vacate the title or whatever. But losing the title and turning on her – this all worked out perfectly for a heel turn. It didn’t for the Raw after WrestleMania, but she’ll be a heel next week.”
WWE had other plans for Charlotte Flair and Becky heading into Mania. For more on that, click here.
