Heading into WrestleMania XL, World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins faces top WWE Superstars like Drew McIntyre, Roman Reigns, and The Rock. His wife, Becky Lynch, is set to challenge Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley for the title. Before the Elimination Chamber: Perth event, Becky dubbed herself and Rollins as the “greatest wrestling couple” in history, sparking a rivalry with Rhea Ripley’s fiance, Buddy Matthews. Matthews, an AEW star, shared a gym photo with Ripley on social media, claiming they are a “power couple.”

Meanwhile, Becky Lynch secured the number-one contender spot by winning the women’s Elimination Chamber match in Perth, Australia. Ripley’s title, introduced on RAW but carrying on the SmackDown Women’s Championship lineage, was first held by Lynch at Backlash 2016. Both Lynch and Rollins are aiming to leave WrestleMania XL with championship gold.
In an interview before Elimination Chamber: Perth, Lynch expressed confidence in their potential to emerge as top champions at WrestleMania XL. Despite facing challengers like Shinsuke Nakamura and Finn Balor, who are yet to hold a world title in WWE, Rollins has maintained a lengthy World Heavyweight Championship reign. Becky, on the other hand, has not held a world title in WWE since early 2022. Their success at WrestleMania XL hinges on overcoming challenges from Cody Rhodes and The Rock, who have issued a challenge for Night One. The WWE Universe awaits the outcome of this high-stakes event.
