In professional wrestling, achieving the status of a Grand Slam Champion is an accomplishment that only a select few can claim. This coveted title is awarded to those who have held four distinct championships in WWE during their career. As of a recent Tuesday night on the USA Network, Becky Lynch joined an illustrious group of women who have earned this prestigious honor, becoming the sixth Women’s Grand Slam Champion in WWE history. What makes Becky’s achievement even more remarkable is that she is the only member of this elite club to have conquered the WWE NXT Women’s Championship after capturing the three main roster women’s titles.
Becky Lynch’s path to Grand Slam glory reached its pinnacle when she stepped into the ring against Tiffany Stratton on a fateful Tuesday night. The match was highly anticipated, as it presented Becky with an opportunity to etch her name in the annals of WWE history. With the world watching, Lynch delivered a stellar performance that culminated in her victory over Stratton, securing her spot in the exclusive Grand Slam Champion club.
To achieve Grand Slam status, a wrestler must win four specific championships in WWE:
- The Raw Women’s Championship
- The SmackDown Women’s Championship
- The Women’s Tag Team Championship
- The NXT Women’s Championship
Becky Lynch’s journey to this prestigious accomplishment began with her first Women’s Championship win in 2018, when she defeated Charlotte Flair at WWE Hell in a Cell to capture the SmackDown Women’s Championship. This victory marked the beginning of her ascent to the top of the women’s division.
In 2019, Lynch reached new heights when she defeated Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair in the main event of WrestleMania 35 to capture the Raw Women’s Championship. This iconic victory solidified her status as one of WWE’s top female superstars.
The third championship on Becky’s list was the Women’s Tag Team Championship, which she won alongside her best friend and former rival, Charlotte Flair, at the TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs pay-per-view in 2019. This victory showcased her versatility as a wrestler and her ability to excel in both singles and tag team competition.
The NXT Women’s Championship proved to be the final piece of the puzzle for Becky Lynch. In 2023, she made a surprise appearance on WWE NXT and defeated Tiffany Stratton to capture the title. This win not only secured her status as a Grand Slam Champion but also made her the only member of the club to have won the NXT Women’s Championship after holding the three main roster women’s titles.
