The Women’s Intercontinental Champion will be on the line tonight!
Becky Lynch is set to defend her WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship against Maxxine Dupri on RAW tonight (January 19, 2026), and the rematch has major implications for both competitors.
The Man regained the title from Maxxine on the January 5 episode of RAW in a controversial finish, one that left Dupri furious and determined to reclaim her gold.
With tensions high and unfinished business looming, WWE has several creative directions it could take. Here are three possible finishes for Becky Lynch vs Maxxine Dupri on WWE RAW tonight.
The rivalry between Becky Lynch and Maxxine Dupri has intensified rapidly. What began as a breakthrough title win for Maxxine has now turned into a heated feud fueled by controversy and pride.
Becky, a five-time women’s champion, is in survival mode as champion. Maxxine, meanwhile, is chasing validation and legitimacy at the top of the women’s division.
3. Becky Lynch taps out to the Angle Lock
One shock finish could see Becky Lynch tapping out clean in the center of the ring. Maxxine Dupri has increasingly relied on her Angle Lock, and locking it in successfully could signal her arrival as a top-tier competitor.
Making Becky Lynch submit would instantly elevate Maxxine’s credibility. WWE has often used established stars to legitimize rising talent, and this would be a textbook example of that strategy.
Such a result would not only crown Maxxine as champion again but also reinforce her as a serious singles threat going forward.
2. AJ Lee returns and cost Becky Lynch the title again
Another intriguing possibility is the return of AJ Lee. It was AJ who helped Maxxine Dupri defeat Becky to win her first Intercontinental Championship on the November 17, 2025 episode of RAW.
AJ Lee and Becky Lynch have been at odds for months, most notably at Survivor Series: WarGames, where AJ forced Becky to tap out. Since then, the Black Widow has been absent from WWE television.
Her return tonight could cost Becky the title and simultaneously set the stage for a marquee showdown at the Royal Rumble.
1. Becky Lynch cheats to retain the title
The most likely outcome remains Becky Lynch finding a way to retain by any means necessary. As champion, Becky has shown she will do whatever it takes to keep the title around her waist.
Whether it’s exposed turnbuckles, a distracted referee, or a hidden weapon, Becky escaping with the championship fits her current character direction.
WWE typically avoids frequent title changes on weekly television, making it more plausible that Becky holds the title until a major event like WrestleMania 42.
