Becky Lynch made sure her WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship stayed in her hands on the October 20th edition of RAW—but the way she did it left fans furious.

Live from the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California, Lynch defended her title against Maxxine Dupri. The challenger came in hungry, pushing the pace early with roll‑up attempts and surviving Lynch’s offense through a commercial break. Dupri even connected with a big kick and locked in an ankle lock, giving fans the sense that an upset could actually happen.

Lynch escaped and fought back with her own submission, but Dupri countered again with another ankle lock before Becky broke free. That’s when things turned nasty. As Dupri pressed the advantage, Lynch tried walking out with her belt to force a count‑out. Dupri cut her off and nearly scored another surprise pin with a roll‑up. But in a flash, Becky swung the Women’s Intercontinental Championship straight into the back of Dupri’s head. The referee had no choice but to call for the disqualification.

After the bell, Lynch didn’t stop. She pounded away on Dupri in the ring as the Sacramento crowd booed heavily. The champ then strutted up the aisle with her belt while Dupri was left laid out.

This was Becky Lynch at her dirtiest, refusing to let go of her title the same way her husband Seth Rollins had to earlier in the night. For Maxxine Dupri, the ending robbed her of the biggest win of her WWE career so far.
