Sportskeeda senior editor Bill Apter recently shared his thoughts on Becky Lynch's booking. The star is currently the Women's Intercontinental Champion on RAW.

The Man grabbed the title after defeating her former protégé Lyra Valkyria at Money in the Bank. She humbled Lyra, forcing the former champ to raise her hand after the win. However, Valkyria was irate and suplexed Lynch, signaling that their rivalry was not over.

This week on The Wrestling Time Machine, Apter detailed that he would have preferred to see Lyra retain the title. He felt WWE had overhauled Becky's character, which was doing well with the fans. The veteran journalist noted that the creative team could rehash some of The Man's greatest feuds during the Intercontinental Championship run, including a blockbuster rivalry with Bayley.

"I wanted to see Lyra retain. Now, I see Becky Lynch, she's a new Becky Lynch. She's a new character, she's caught on very well. There's a lot of people of course, like Bayley who are coming after her at this point. So they're gonna be rerunning some of the feuds that Becky had probably first time around." [From 0:44 onwards]

It will be interesting to see how long she can hold on to the gold.
