Lynch is in the ring and she says there is only one woman responsible for how hot the women鈥檚 division is. She says it鈥檚 so hot we have the likes of Lita, Mickie James and the Bella Twins coming back to try and challenge the Van Goat at WrestleMania. Becky says they need her because she makes stars. Just look at Doudrop, nobody was clamouring for her to get a title match and she didn鈥檛 even earn it, Becky gave it to her. She makes people better, then she beats them.
Lynch says Doudrop came from the rolling hills of Scotand and made a name for herself. Oh wait, no she didn鈥檛, someone else made her name for her. So let her set things straight: a Doudrop will never lead the division while she鈥檚 there. Doudrop took umbridge with something Becky said because she鈥檚 on her way down to the ring. She says Becky didn鈥檛 get her anything, and if she planned for this then it was the biggest mistake she鈥檚 ever made. Becky says she did get her the win and if she follows her lead she鈥檒l get her a win this week as well.
Bianca Belair comes out and says Becky thinks she鈥檚 the greatest but uou can鈥檛 spell greatest without Est. Bianca says Becky was so scared of facing her again that she helped Doudrop win. Well Becky is only buying time because she will be entering the Royal Rumble match. And it鈥檚 every woman for themselves and she doesn鈥檛 care who she has to eliminate to main event WrestleMania again. Of course, out comes Liv Morgan and she says they shouldn鈥檛 be overlooking her because she鈥檚 in the Rumble too. The four of them almost brawl.
Becky Lynch & Doudrop Vs Bianca Belair
Belair and Doudrop start proceedings and Bianca uses her speed to duck and dodge Doudrop, as well as tease her. Bianca attempts a suplex but can鈥檛 get her up and Doudrop lands one of her own. Becky tags herself in but wastes time talking to Doudrop, allowing Morgan to tag in and run over Becky with clotheslines, dropkick and a bulldog.
Doudrop broke up the pin attempt and then all Hell broke loose with everyone attacking each other until Becky hits Morgan with the Manhandle Slam but Doudrop breaks up the pin attempt. Doudrop drags Becky over to the corner but doesn鈥檛 have the sense to tag herself in and the referee won鈥檛 count it, so she goes back over and tags herself, then crossbodies Liv and pins her.
Winners: Becky Lynch & Doudrop
After the match Doudrop goes to the corner and hits a rope-assisted splash to Becky and poses.

We get a look back at Liv Morgan vs. RAW Women鈥檚 Champion Becky Lynch at WWE Day 1. Lynch will be here next for a 鈥淣ew Year with Big Time Becks鈥 segment.
Back from the break and RAW Women鈥檚 Champion Becky Lynch is in the ring as her entrance wraps up.
Lynch says here we are in 2022 and there鈥檚 something about the new year that inspires hope in people. It doesn鈥檛 matter if you failed last year, the past 5 years, or your whole life, things can change for the better when the clock strikes. Lynch knows all the women in the back have a title win at the top of their lists, and she admires their dedication, but at the top of her list is remaining champion. Lynch goes on about how no one can beat her. Many have tried, but they all fail.
Lynch goes on about decisions she made in the last year. She realized she鈥檚 become a work of art. She compares herself to a Van Gogh painting and says she makes us feel because that鈥檚 what good art does. Becky insults people for having New Year鈥檚 Resolutions, takes a shot at South Carolina, and says the women in the back won鈥檛 be winning the title. Becky then takes shots at Liv Morgan. She says Liv broke her promise to herself, and the promise she had to all of the fans. The music interrupts and out comes Morgan to the stage.
Morgan says new year but same ugly jacket and same delusional Becky. Liv says she knows, and Becky knows, just how close she was to winning the title on Saturday. Liv enters the ring and talks about how she gives it her all and leaves it all in the ring every time she gets the chance, and that鈥檚 exactly what she did at Day 1. Becky says that鈥檚 lovely and maybe one day Liv will win the title but not until Becky retires. The music interrupts and out comes Bianca Belair. Belair talks some trash on her way to the ring and says she took a little Doudrop Detour, stepping aside to allow others a shot at the title, but now she鈥檚 back in line for Big Time Becks.
Lynch says Morgan and Belair have just fallen victim to her routine 鈥 beat, sleep, repeat. Lynch talks some more trash and Liv mentions how she knows nothing about the locker room because she hasn鈥檛 been in there in years. Liv tells Belair to leave because she and Becky were in the middle of something. Belair says her history with Becky goes back farther. Becky tells them to get out of her ring but figure out who鈥檚 going to be next, and then let her know. Belair and Morgan end up attacking Becky and tossing her from the ring. Becky鈥檚 title is still in the ring. Belair and Morgan have words now. They start brawling and Belair rams Liv back into the corner for shoulder thrusts. Liv fights her off and drops her with a step-up kick. The brawl continues and Belair goes for the KOD but Becky decks them both from behind. Becky drops Belair with the Manhandle Slam while Liv looks on from ringside, down on the floor. Becky picks her title back up, raises it in the air, and makes her exit as the music hits.
