The opening match for the women’s title at WrestleMania was kicked off by none other than Rhea Ripley and Becky Lynch, and what a spectacle it was! WWE not only demands ruthlessness and insane physical strength but also a depth of courage and determination that commands respect.
And what Lynch did was beyond that, according to recent reports, “The Man” faced off with 102 fever, surpassing every hurdle with sheer willpower to deliver a performance that will be now etched in every fan’s mind. Though she may have lost the battle in the ring, her resilience made sure she remained victorious in the hearts of all who witnessed her remarkable feat.
Becky Lynch Faced Off Rhea Ripley With “102 Fever and Strep Throat”!
As WrestleMania 40 was kick-started this weekend, Becky Lynch found herself not only battling Rhea Ripley in the ring but also with a frightening 102-degree fever and strep throat according to an inside scooper on X.
Becky Lynch was clearly limited with the 102 degree fever and a strep throat but that was a great WrestleMania opener considering the circumstances. Run it back with a healthy Becky down the line.

For those who missed the pre-match Q&A (via Ringside News), Lynch also revealed she was feeling under the weather but insisted on going through with the match in that condition. Now, following the epic showdown, reports are emerging with details of just how tough Lynch had it, leaving fans utterly mesmerized by her incredible performance against overwhelming odds.
As the match unfolded, Ripley aka “The Eradicator” sealed Lynch’s fate with a pair of consecutive Riptides. The first slammed Lynch into the turnbuckle, while the second landed with devastating impact in the center of the ring, securing her the winning title.
Months of teasing finally resulted in a clash between Ripley and The Man, with WWE building excitement through Raw encounters and intense stares. Following Lynch’s journey from Royal Rumble disappointment to a hard-fought Elimination Chamber win, WrestleMania’s stage was set for an absolute epic showdown.
While this defeat doesn’t diminish “The Man”‘s legacy, her six Women’s Championship reigns and groundbreaking role in the first women’s main event at WrestleMania 35 solidify her place in WWE history.
