Summary

Becky Lynch did not appear on the March 9 episode of WWE Raw, saying she was sick despite saying she has an amazing immune system.

While absent from the show, she live tweeted the Women's Intercontinental Number One Contenders Gauntlet featuring IYO SKY, Lyra Valkyria, Raquel Rodriguez, Ivy Nile, Bayley, and Asuka.

Bayley won the gauntlet by last pinning Asuka and is now set to face AJ Lee for the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship next Monday on Raw.

The source text states it is unknown when Becky Lynch will return.

Bayley vs AJ Lee title setup gains extra heat from Becky Lynch's running commentary

Becky Lynch openly reacting throughout the gauntlet adds another layer of tension around the women's title scene, because Bayley now heads into an AJ Lee championship match with Becky publicly taking shots at multiple contenders.

With Bayley already confirmed for next Monday's title bout, Lynch's absence did not remove her influence from the segment and may keep her connected to this championship conversation.
