WWE Royal Rumble Opponent Revealed For Becky Lynch

By Marc Middleton

Doudrop vs. RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch is now official for the WWE Royal Rumble.

Tonight's RAW main event saw Doudrop become the new #1 contender by winning a Triple Threat over Liv Morgan and Bianca Belair.

The match saw Lynch hit the ring from the announce table, and attack Belair as she was going for the pin on Morgan. Lynch and Belair ended up fighting at ringside, until Lynch tossed Belair over the announce table. Doudrop then hit the second rope splash on Morgan for the pin to win and become the new #1 contender. After the match, Lynch entered the ring for a handshake, but she slapped Doudrop instead. Doudrop then blocked the Man-Handle Slam and Lynch retreated to the floor, shocked at Doudrop's block.
