Becky Lynch has realized her dream and taken what is hers.
"The Man" Becky Lynch competed in the opening match of the 2019 Royal Rumble pay-per-view as she challenged Asuka for the SmackDown Women's Championship. Becky was submitted by Asuka and her road to WrestleMania 35 became foggy in that moment but there was an opening in the Women's Royal Rumble match that Becky took advantage of and got back on her path to WrestleMania. Lana, who was "injured" after taking a fall to the outside on the Royal Rumble kickoff show could not make her way to the ring because she was too hurt to do so which led to Becky Lynch coming out and getting the green light to fill in for Lana. It was a fortunate night for "The Man" as she capped it off with winning the Women's Royal Rumble match.

The final three competitors in the ring were Charlotte Flair, Becky and Nia Jax. Nia Jax was eliminated by her rival Becky Lynch but Nia did not let Becky have her moment. As "The Man" was getting back into the ring, Nia pushed her down and left Becky "hurt" in front of Charlotte.

The injured Becky Lynch and Charlotte battled but in the end it was Becky who tossed Charlotte out of the ring to secure her WrestleMania 35 championship match.
