Becky Lynch had a rough night on this week’s episode of WWE RAW. The Man interrupted Sol Ruca’s official contract signing. The young star previously appeared on the post-WrestleMania 42 edition of the flagship show, losing to Liv Morgan due to Zaria’s interference.

Ruca was set to make her move to the red brand’s show official this week. Adam Pearce was in the ring with her contract, but before she could sign it, Lynch came out. The Women’s Intercontinental Champion complained to Adam Pearce that she was allotted this time slot for her celebration of greatness.

Amid the argument between Lynch and Pearce, Sol Ruca spoke up. The young star had a verbal back-and-forth with The Man, in which she called Lynch a “rude, big-headed b*tch.” The Irish star did not appreciate the young star speaking to her in this manner.

Lynch was about to strike Sol Ruca, but she moved out of the way, leading to Adam Pearce taking the hit. The RAW General Manager was irate with The Man, as she apologized. Getting physical with an authority figure is never a good idea, and Becky Lynch may have to face the consequences for her actions.

In this listicle, we will look at five consequences Becky Lynch could face for punching Adam Pearce on RAW.

#5. She may be forced to defend the Women’s Intercontinental Championship against Sol Ruca

Adam Pearce could turn Becky Lynch’s punishment into an opportunity to book a high-profile match for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. The segment on RAW ended with Sol Ruca taking Lynch out with a Sol Snatcher. The RAW General Manager could book The Man to defend the Women’s IC Title against the young star.

While it may not happen at Backlash since there is no time for build-up, Saturday Night’s Main Event is set to take place on May 23, where Lynch vs. Ruca for the title could happen. The former NXT Women’s North American Champion has all the potential in the world to lead WWE’s women’s division for years to come.

Having her face a veteran like Lynch immediately after her main roster debut could elevate Ruca. As a punishment for The Man, Adam Pearce could even allow the ex-NXT star to pick the stipulation for the match.

#4. Becky Lynch could be suspended

The issues between Becky Lynch and Adam Pearce have persisted for a while now. Big Time Becks was practically running an online campaign, claiming that Pearce was incompetent to be the RAW General Manager. Pearce now has a reason to take strict action against Lynch, and he could make the most of it.

Adam Pearce could suspend The Man without pay for punching him on RAW. This would only further Lynch’s disdain towards the on-screen authority figure, opening multiple possibilities for a future storyline.

#3. She could be fined

It’s not unusual for managers and authority figures to become collateral damage in brawls. Adam Pearce himself has been caught in the middle of multiple unfavorable situations. The standard punishment for attacking an authority figure is a fine, which is what Becky Lynch may have to pay for punching Pearce.

The RAW General Manager could heavily fine The Man for her actions on Monday. Even though Lynch is one of the top stars of the company and is likely wealthy, even she may not enjoy paying a hefty amount for an accidental punch on Adam Pearce.

#2. Becky Lynch could be stripped of the Women’s Intercontinental Championship

Now, this would perhaps be the harshest punishment Adam Pearce could give Becky Lynch for putting her hands on him on RAW. The Man is a record-setting three-time Women’s Intercontinental Champion. She has struggled a lot to regain the title from AJ Lee.

After suffering multiple losses at the hands of AJ, Becky finally defeated her bitter rival at WrestleMania 42 to win the Women’s IC Championship for a third time. Adam Pearce could strip the title away from The Man for her actions on RAW.

Lynch could go on a hiatus, which would then set the stage for a blockbuster return down the line and a potential babyface run for Big Time Becks.

#1. Adam Pearce could announce an all-brand tournament to determine the number one contender for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship

Adam Pearce could make the Women’s Intercontinental Championship the most sought-after title in WWE. Much to Becky Lynch’s dismay, the RAW General Manager could announce a tournament to determine the number one contender to Lynch’s title.

To raise the stakes further, Pearce could open the field for stars from SmackDown and NXT as well. This may be done to find the most suitable challenger for Big Time Becks’ title, something she may not appreciate.

Lynch has arguably made Pearce’s job as the RAW General Manager harder, and he could now get his payback over the Women’s Intercontinental Champion by booking her to face the toughest challenger on the roster.
