Mickie James Analyses Becky Lynch’s Championship Victory In NXT

‘The Man’ Becky Lynch won the NXT Women’s Championship for the first time after she defeated Tiffany Stratton last Tuesday night after she was provoked by her. In this way, The Man achieved the Grand Slam Championship like Charlotte Flair, Asuka, Bayley, Sasha Banks, Asuka and Rhea Ripley.

Former WWE Superstar Mickie James believes the company made the right decision by having Lynch beat Stratton in NXT and justified her reasoning during a recent episode of Busted Open Radio.

“Becky’s victory was the perfect setting for the end of that fight, because not only does it show that Becky is The Man, but also that she wins the title that she never had the opportunity to hold, but also thinks about what it means for NXT. Now having one of your biggest stars on television, period, to be your champion in NXT. The eyes that are going to be on the product, the matches that they can now have with all these promising talents, with all these women of NXT, who can now have the opportunity to get in the ring with Becky… I think it’s money in everyone the senses”.

The six-time WWE Champion made a quite valid comment, since the rating and audience numbers that NXT achieved this week were astonishing, and the highest obtained since 2020. The program itself obtained an average of 850,000 viewers and the fight star between Becky Lynch and Tiffany Stratton surpassed one million viewers during the last part of the fight.

The Man is the latest main roster WWE Superstar to appear on NXT television this year. Mustafa Ali, Dana Brooke and Baron Corbin are currently regulars on the weekly show, while Dominik Mysterio, Rhea Ripley and Seth Rollins have also made an appearance there lately. Now, with Becky Lynch as NXT Champion, we may see her for a season on the development mark.
