Women's Revolution (2015-2016)

Lynch versus Flair and Banks for the newly introduced Women's Championship at WrestleMania 32 .

On July 13, 2015 she made her debut on the main roster with Charlotte and Sasha Banks. On the same day, she and Charlotte joined their former NXT colleague Paige and the three of them founded the stable Submission Sorority . However, this name was quickly replaced by Team PCB (the initials of the three wrestlers), as the original name had been associated with various porn sites on the Internet. Team PCB feuded against Team Bella ( Nikki Bella, Brie Bella and Alicia Fox ) and Team BAD ( Naomi , Tamina Snuka and Sasha Banks). Lynch played her first match on the main roster on July 20, 2015 alongside Paige against Naomi and Sasha Banks. She successfully played her first individual match on the main roster at the WWE Main Event against Brie Bella. At SummerSlam 2015 , Team PCB won against Team BAD and Team Bella . One day after Charlotte won the WWE Divas Championship , Paige split from Team PCB, which was disbanded.

Lynch now feuded together with Charlotte and Natalya against Paige. Then she feuded against the WWE Divas Champion Charlotte and her father Ric Flair . On January 24, 2016, at the Royal Rumble event , she lost a title match against Charlotte. After the split from Team BAD , she and Sasha Banks feuded against Naomi and Tamina. On February 21, 2016, she and Sasha Banks won a tag team match against Naomi and Tamina. At Wrestlemania 32 , it was announced that a new WWE Women's Championship introduced and the WWE Divas Championship is set simultaneously. On April 3, 2016, at Wrestlemania 32 , Lynch, Charlotte and Sasha Banks played a Triple Threat Match to determine the first WWE Women's Champion. Charlotte won this match.

Inaugural SmackDown Women's Champion (2016-2018)

Becky Lynch at SmackDown in 2016.

In the WWE Draft on July 19, 2016, Lynch was the first woman to be voted onto the SmackDown Live roster. On September 11, 2016, she defeated Alexa Bliss , Carmella , Naomi, Natalya and Nikki Bella in a six-pack challenge in a title match at Backlash , crowning herself the first WWE SmackDown Women's Champion . On December 4, 2016, she lost her title to Alexa Bliss in a tables match at the pay-per-view TLC . Disguised as a masked La Luchadora , she was able to defeat Bliss a short time later in a non-title match, but did not manage to regain the title. Lynch subsequently took part in the first Women's Money in the Bank ladder match, became captain of the female Survivor Series team for SmackDown in late 2017 and took part in the first Women's Royal Rumble match in early 2018 . At WrestleMania 2018 she was part of the Women's Battle Royal and she was also in the ring at the second Women's Money in the Bank ladder match, but could not win any of these big matches.

The Man and Feud against Charlotte Flair (2018-2019)

It was not until mid-2018 that she was able to win a number of matches again, which was increasingly discussed within the storylines . For the SummerSlam on August 19, 2018, she was therefore awarded a title match against champion Carmella. Shortly before SummerSlam , however, Charlotte was also placed in the title match, as she was also able to defeat Carmella. The following victory by Charlotte triggered a heel-turn by Lynch, which was modified after massive fan reactions, as the fans continued to support Becky massively , as before as Babyface . On September 16, 2018, she finally won the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship for the second time in her career with a win over Charlotte at Hell in a Cell . In several follow-up matches, including the major SuperShowDown events in Australia and the first all-female pay-per-view evolution , Lynch was able to defend her title against Charlotte. In the course of this storyline, she adopted the suffix " The Man " to underline her self-proclaimed position as the top wrestler in the WWE.

On November 12, 2018, in the run-up to Survivor Series , Lynch led an invasion of the SmackDown raster on Raw , during which she attacked Raw Women's Champion Ronda Rousey in the dressing room and left her on the ground. That same evening, however, Lynch broke his nose after Nia Jax hit her in the face with a hard blow. Due to this injury, Lynch was unable to participate in the Survivor Series and the previously targeted Champion vs. Champion match between Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey could not take place. Lynch then selected Charlotte as her representative from the SmackDown roster for this match. After a brief injury break, Lynch returned to TLC on December 16, 2018, but lost her title to the latter in a ladder match against Charlotte and Asuka . Asuka was able to take the title belt hanging over the ring after Ronda Rousey, who was intervening in the match, knocked over the neighboring ladder with Lynch and Charlotte. On January 27, 2019, Lynch lost a rematch against Asuka at the Royal Rumble . That same evening, however, Lynch spontaneously took Lana's place in the women's Royal Rumble match after Lana had previously been injured on the kickoff show and was knocked down by Nia Jax on the way to the ring. Lynch was finally able to win this match by finally kicking Charlotte out of the ring, even with a knee injury. On the following Raw show, she challenged Raw Women's Champion Ronda Rousey to a match at WrestleMania.

Lynch's refusal to have WWE doctors examine her knee injury from the Royal Rumble resulted in conflicts with Stephanie McMahon on RAW and Triple H on SmackDown Live. Lynch was briefly suspended and officially apologized for assaulting both figures in authority. She did so on the February 11th RAW broadcast. At the very end of the show, however, she was again suspended, this time by Vince McMahon personally and for 60 days. This would mean Lynch would miss out on Wrestlemania . McMahon also gave her place in the match against Raw Women's Champion Ronda Rousey to Charlotte Flair. In March, Lynch defeated Flair at Fastlane by disqualification and secured a place in the title fight at Wrestlemania 35 as the third participant .

Raw Women's Champion (2019-2020)

On April 7, 2019 Lynch won a Triple Threat Winner Take All Match at WrestleMania 35 against the then Raw Women's Champion Ronda Rousey and the then SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair , thus winning both titles and becoming the first Women's Champion of both roster. At Money in the Bank , Lynch defended the WWE Raw Women's Championship against Lacey Evans. That same night she had to defend her WWE SmackDown Women's Championship against Charlotte Flair; Lynch lost the match and had to give up the title after 42 days. After losing the title, Lynch was automatically assigned to the Raw roster as the Raw Women's Champion. On May 11, 2020, she gave up the title to Asuka due to a pregnancy after a reign of 400 days .
