The latest episode of WWE Monday Night RAW at Madison Square Garden was nothing short of spectacular, with a massive upset taking place as underdog Maxxine Dupri defeated multi-time champion Becky Lynch to capture the Women’s Intercontinental Championship for the first time. With the help of a returning AJ Lee’s distraction, Dupri executed her game plan perfectly and pinned The Man clean to secure the title.
In this article, we delve into three key reasons why Dupri emerged victorious over Lynch:
#3. The Man’s Non-Title Feuds:
Becky Lynch is undeniably one of the top female talents on the roster, with a massive following, especially as a heel. However, Lynch already had two major non-title feuds on her plate – one against AJ Lee and the other involving tensions with referee Jessica Karr. By giving the title to Dupri, it allows other women on the roster to step up and gives Lynch the opportunity to continue her storylines without the burden of carrying a championship.
#2. Shock Factor:
WWE is known for its shocking outcomes and unexpected title changes. The episode at Madison Square Garden was no different, with multiple surprises and returns. The crowning of a new champion added an element of unpredictability to the show, keeping fans on the edge of their seats.
#1. Building New Stars:
WWE has been focusing on building new stars and investing in rising talents like Dominik Mysterio, Bron Breakker, and others. By giving Dupri a victory over Lynch, the company is adding her name to the list of emerging superstars. Dupri had been receiving a positive reaction from the crowd and her win signifies a vote of confidence from the creative team in her potential as a top talent.
Overall, the episode at Madison Square Garden was a testament to WWE’s commitment to creating compelling storylines and building new stars. With Dupri’s surprising victory over Lynch, the landscape of the Women’s division has been shaken up, setting the stage for exciting rivalries and matchups in the future.
