    Seth Rollins Describes Homelife With Becky Lynch

    Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch have had a lot more time to spend together at home these days. The “Monday Night Messiah” recently spoke with Hollywood Life about their “super chill” lifestyle during the global pandemic.

    “We’re taking advantage of the downtime and cook some dinners, watch movies, and hang out,” Rollins said.

    “We don’t really get a lot of time to do that,” he continued. “So you know, we are going to get full nights of sleep. We are going to hang out with my animals. Just enjoy quality time as opposed to work time, which is where we spend most of our time doing. Luckily she is not one of those fussy types that need a whole lot to be entertained, so I am okay and I will be alright. I think she is down with drinking beers and hanging out.”

    Both Rollins and Lynch have big matches coming up at WrestleMania 36, though they have already been filmed at the WWE Performance Center. Lynch will defend her RAW Women’s Championship against Shayna Baszler while Rollins will take on Kevin Owens in single’s competition. Lynch has a rare opportunity in the modern era to walk into a WrestleMania with a world title belt she won at the previous year’s WrestleMania. Walking out still the champion would be in even more rarified air.

    Seth Rollins On Being Grateful To Still Be Working

    Rollins also spoke about being able to still perform during the pandemic.

    “There is a lot of gratitude that goes into the last few weeks,” says Seth. “A lot of times our job runs us ragged, and we complain, as all of us do, about our workplaces. ‘[We] are frustrated or are overworked and underappreciated’ and stuff like that. I think with this situation, it certainly makes you take a look at the brighter side of things.”

    Rollins continued to talk about how 3 million Americans filed for unemployment but he’s lucky enough to still be working at a job he loves.

    “Not only that, but it’s a job that I love, and I still get to take part in that job during this time, even if it is in an abbreviated fashion. There is something very humbling and a lot of gratitude that goes along with all of that so, hopefully, when we come out of this crisis, it will be something we can take with us moving forward in our day-to-day lives.”

    Rollins continued to talk about what he’s looking forward to doing most with his downtime. The full interview with Hollywood Life can be read here.

  • Becky Lynch Wasn’t Happy With Her Last Match With Shayna Baszler

    Becky Lynch Wasn’t Happy With Her Last Match With Shayna Baszler

    WWE RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch has revealed her dissatisfaction regarding her previous clash with Shayna Baszler. Lynch opened up about their last meeting during an interview with Sports Illustrated.

    The last time the two shared a ring, they were competing in an inter-promotional Triple Threat matchup at last year’s Survivor Series. That match also included Bayley. Baszler, who was the then-NXT Women’s Champion, would secure the victory for the black-and-gold brand.

    According to Lynch, their triple threat did not meet her standards for a main event clash. Four of the seven matches scheduled for that night’s Survivor Series were triple threat matches.

    Becky Lynch On Receiving Criticism

    When asked if the fact it was a women’s match headlining the show, Becky Lynch was quick to say, “It shouldn’t be about women—people shouldn’t use it as a chance to say, ‘That’s why women shouldn’t be main-eventing. You can’t wipe out an entire gender based on your opinion to a match.”

    Lynch added, “No excuses, I’m open to criticism. Give me your opinion, I’ll take it. This is what anyone in the main event, male or female, has to deal with. If you ever have a bad night or a match that people don’t agree with, you’re the one out there that has to change and adjust. It makes you better in the long run.”

  • Becky Lynch On How Her Relationship With Seth Rollins Started

    Becky Lynch On How Her Relationship With Seth Rollins Started

    The relationship between Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch has been one of the most discussed topics in recent times and WWE even used their real-life connection in a storyline last year.

    During a recent interview with Ariel Helwani on ESPN MMA, the current Raw Women’s Champion talked about a number of things including her upcoming WrestleMania match with Shayna Baszler and more.

    Discussing the start of her relationship with the former Universal Champion, Lynch revealed that they hit it off in the first conversation she ever had with Rollins:

    “We’ve been friends for years and years, and just immediately the first conversation that I ever had with him… we just hit it off,” said Becky. “I think I just ended up telling him my life story. And that was it, we were just friends, and there was never really anything. But then, we were both single at the same time, and then we were like, ‘Why not?’”

    Seth Rollins is currently scheduled to face Kevin Owens in a one on one match at WrestleMania 36 though it appears that he will be alone in this fight as after AOP, Murphy has also been pulled from the show.

    On the other hand, Becky Lynch will be defending her Raw Women’s Championship against Shayna Baszler on the Show Of Shows this year and she believes that she will be competing in the first night of the event on April 4.

    Becky Lynch Among WWE Stars Name Who Would Be On Their Wrestling Mount Rushmore

    On Saturday, the topic of who would be on your Mount Rushmore of wrestling was trending on social media. 

    WWE’s YouTube channel put out a video that featured various stars being asked who they would put on their Mount Rushmore of wrestling. 

    The likes of WWE RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, Jason Jordan, Shayna Baszler, Seth Rollins, and Liv Morgan gave their take about this topic. 

    Just like with who is the GOAT (greatest of all-time) in wrestling, it’s an opinionated take as most people have a different list.

    Most can agree upon the likes of Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin, and The Rock but typically the fourth name is divided. Here’s the list: 

    • Becky Lynch on Superstars – Brock Lesnar, The Rock, Hulk Hogan, and John Cena 
    • Lynch on purest wrestlers – Ric Flair, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, and Kurt Angle.
    • Seth Rollins – Steve Austin, The Rock, Hulk Hogan, and Vince McMahon.
    • Charlotte – Andrade, herself, Kurt Angle, Ric Flair.
    • Jason Jordan – Kurt Angle, Mr. Perfect, Steve Austin, and Eddie Guerrero. 
    • Shayna Bazler – Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Bruno Sammartino, and Steve Austin.
    • Liv Morgan – herself, Mickie James, Vince McMahon, and Shawn Michaels.

    Mark Henry Talks Possible Stipulation For Becky Lynch vs Shayna Baszler at WrestleMania

  • Mark Henry Talks Possible Stipulation For Becky Lynch vs Shayna Baszler at WrestleMania

    Mark Henry Talks Possible Stipulation For Becky Lynch vs Shayna Baszler at WrestleMania

    WrestleMania 36 is just a week away. With the current COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, WWE has been forced to pre-tape the biggest show of the year.

    One of the bigger matches on the card; will see WWE RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch take on Shayna Baszler for the Championship. In a potentially massive slip up, Mark Henry may have revealed the stipulation for the match.

    During the most recent episode of Busted Open Radio, Mark Henry was discussing the Roman Reigns and Goldberg situation. Roman Reigns has taken himself off of the WrestleMania card due to health worries, and Henry suggested that Matt Riddle be the replacement opponent for Goldberg at the event. In doing so, he discussed a match stipulation he’d like to see added to the RAW Women’s title match

    Henry stated “You know, you got one match in an octagon hopefully. And hopefully you know what they can do with Shana Baszler and Becky Lynch. And then you can turn around and have one more right behind it, or have it before [Goldberg vs Riddle]. Just a tune up.”

    “then you can turn around and have one more right behind it”

    Mark Henry

    The ‘World’s Strongest Man’ would obviously be referring to Riddle and Baszler being former MMA fighters, thus giving the stipulation some merit. However, with Riddle being pure speculation, it’s interesting for Mark Henry to say “you got one match in an octagon, hopefully.”

    So, with WrestleMania 36 being behind closed doors and information being sparse; has Mark Henry just slipped that we’re getting an MMA match for Lynch vs Baszler? We have one more episode of RAW before WrestleMania 36 next week, could WWE announce the match stipulation then?

    WrestleMania 36: Reported Initial Plans For Becky Lynch’s Entrance

    A lot of plans have changed for WrestleMania 36 amid the coronavirus outbreak.

    First, “The Show Of Shows” has been moved from the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida to the WWE Performance Center in Orlando. This is due to the mass gathering bans imposed on the country due to the coronavirus pandemic. For the first time ever, WrestleMania will be held in front of an empty crowd.

    Also, WrestleMania is typically the time WWE Superstars utilize some spectacular ring entrances. It turns out WWE had quite the entrance planned for Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch in Tampa, involving the custom semi-trailer truck we saw on this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw. Lynch arrived at Raw in the truck, but according to PWInsider, this was originally to be used in her WrestleMania entrance.

    The truck was also to be featured at WrestleMania 36 Axxess. WWE likely went ahead and used it this week on Raw since they’re not going to be able to do so in the way they had hoped at WrestleMania.

    Coronavirus is affecting the whole world and WWE is also feeling the effects of the same. The company has moved some of its shows to the Performance Center though they have not cancelled any major events yet.

    This means that the WWE stars are still on the road but if we believe the current Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch, there haven’t been any major changes in the locker room due to the outbreak of the disease.

    The current Champion was recently interviewed by TVInsider and when asked about the environment backstage, she explained that the business is being conducted as usual:

    “It’s business as usual. I think we’re constantly meeting different people. We’re constantly shaking hands. We know to use hand sanitizer.” said Becky Lynch “We’re always exposed to so many different bacteria in our lives and so many different countries. You can’t freak out about any of this stuff. You have to continue on and hope for the best.”

    The Raw Women’s Champion was also asked about the difference between Ronda Rousey and her WrestleMania opponent Shayna Baszler and Becky Lynch claimed that the former NXT Champion is a ‘different animal.’

    She mentioned how Baszler has been wrestling longer and claimed that we haven’t really seen her full potential on Raw. You can check out Becky Lynch’s full interview at this link.

    “I’m not sold on it. I’ll just say that. I’m not sold on it yet,” he confessed. “But I’m like this man. I’m thinking about the performance more than anything, I’m thinking about when you go out and perform, you know, in Elimination Chamber…WrestleMania. Those are big moments for me. Going into a match like that. I trust Becky Lynch. Becky has done a lot of good things over this last year, she’s put herself in position to, you know, be called ‘the man.’”

    Booker T On Becky Lynch’s Past Opponents

    Booker T noted how Lynch has been performing at a consistent quality against “really, really high calibre talent.” Booker T then pointed towards her matches with both Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks, adding how they can “go out there and really perform [at the] next level.”

    “Now I’m wondering, Becky Lynch against Shayna Baszler. You know, how is that thing gonna go? How are they going to match up? As far as going out there and creating some beautiful magic? Because at the end of the day it really is all about Shakespeare. It really is all about going out there and performing for the fans.”

    Becky Lynch aims to defend her WWE RAW Women’s Championship against Shayna Baszler at WrestleMania 36. The event takes place on April 5 from the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.

    Becky Lynch Promises She Can “Fight A Lot Dirtier” Than Shayna Baszler

    WWE RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch has addressed Shayna Baszler’s “dirty” tactics during a recent conversation with Pro Wrestling Sheet. Their issues stem from last week’s episode of Monday Night RAW, which saw Baszler attack Lynch from behind following her successful championship defense over Asuka. Baszler would proceed to remove her mouth guard before biting into the back of Lynch’s neck. It wasn’t long until her mouth was covered in the champion’s blood.

    “She’s tough. She did a lot for women in MMA. I don’t think she gets nearly enough credit for what she’s done in that,” Lynch said. “She’s been in NXT making a name for herself the past few years, but last night she wanted to make a name for herself against me.”

    She continued, “If she wanted an opportunity, all she had to do was ask, she didn’t have to take a chunk out of the back of my neck, but if that’s the way it’s going to be, well then that’s the way it’s going to be. She can fight dirty… I can fight a lot dirtier.”

    Becky Lynch and Shayna Baszler are expected to build towards a RAW Women’s Championship match at WrestleMania 36. The event takes place on April 5th from Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.

    Becky Lynch Offers Advice For Simone Johnson

    Simone Johnson, the 18-year-old daughter of Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson has signed with WWE. WWE RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch offered up some advice for Johnson when reporters from TMZ caught up with her recently.

    “Work hard, work as hard as you possibly can,” Lynch said when asked if she had any advice for Johnson. “Work harder than everybody else.”

    “The thing is it’s going to be a lot of pressure on her,” Becky Lynch continued. “There is big shoes to fill, she’s going to feel that, she’s going to know that everybody expects a lot more from her and that she is going to be under a lot more criticism than everybody else.”

    “She doesn’t get that chance, that slack-line that other people might get but I think she’s up for the challenge and I think that tests you, that makes you into the woman that you want to be and to be a champion. And hey, whenever she’s ready I’ll be holding down the fort. I’ll still be holding onto this whenever she’s ready.”

    “I think it’ll be good for her to try and make her own way, don’t rely on the past, don’t rely on what got other people over, try to make something new for yourself. I think there’s merit in that,” Lynch said about Johnson blazing her own path.

  • Bully Ray Talks Shayna Baszler Biting Becky Lynch on RAW

    Bully Ray Talks Shayna Baszler Biting Becky Lynch on RAW

    WWE Hall of Famer and co-host of Busted Open Radio Bully Ray recently commented on the ‘biting’ angle that took place on this Monday’s RAW. Part way through the broadcast NXT Superstar Shayna Baszler attacked Becky Lynch. This was following her match with Asuka. Baszler would bite the back of Lynch’s neck at the conclusion of the bout, shocking many as it was such a departure from her character in NXT.

    “‘you were expecting Rhonda? You got much worse, you got Shayna Baszler”

    Bully mentioned as much, saying “I would have liked less is more and keep it simple. Play to Shayna’s strengths. I almost would have liked to [have] seen at the end of the segment, you know Shana standing over Becky, and you could have got one line out of her where she could have told Becky ‘you were expecting Rhonda? You got much worse, you got Shayna Baszler.’

    “Was I shocked? Yeah was I shocked, but in a good way? I’m really not sure.”

    Ray also talked about how the bite itself ‘was’ shocking, but not necessarily in a good way. “The biting thing just kind of takes me out of it. Was I shocked? Yeah was I shocked, but in a good way? I’m really not sure.”

    “To me the last person that needed anything was Shayna Baszler”

    Bully also questioned how the company’s Creative came to give Shayna Baszler this extra wrinkle in her character. “They [creative] probably said ‘we need something for Shayna, we need something different. We need something shocking, we need her to do something that is going to have people talking. She can’t just beat up Becky, that’s passe.’ To me the last person that needed anything was Shayna. Because she’s such a credible badass, she acts it, she walks in, she talks it. But in the world of the WWE, if you’re just a ‘wrestler’ or if you’re just a fighter? They’re probably going to look to tinker with you and and give you ‘something.’”

  • Becky Lynch Reacts To Jon Jones’ Recent Comments

    Becky Lynch Reacts To Jon Jones’ Recent Comments

    WWE RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch has responded to Jon Jones’ recent comments. The current UFC Light Heavyweight Champion expressed his belief that it was “inevitable” that he would eventually be in a WWE ring. Addressing Jones’ words during a recent appearance, Lynch stressed how being a pro wrestler isn’t as easy as most MMA fighters believe it to be.

    “Inevitable? That is a pretty big word. Look, I think people think that this is a cakewalk, there is nothing like what we do,” Lynch stated. “And it’s not as simple as just walking in here. You have to make a name for yourself, and you have to obsessed with it, you have to love this. This isn’t a thing where you have one fight every six months, this is a thing where you are fighting three, four, sometimes seven days a week, 52 weeks a year.”

    She continued, “For people to sometimes think that it’s an easy thing that they can just stroll into, it kind of irks me. It irks me, it does. Because I love this business, I love it more than anything. And if he loves it like I do, well then come along, I’ll show you the ropes. But if he just wants to make some easy money, this ain’t the way to do it.”

    When asked which UFC fighter would translate best to WWE, Becky Lynch was quick to point to Conor McGregor. She noted how most of his personality is borrowed from pro wrestling anyway, including his strut. Lynch added how McGregor “gets it,” especially from a promo, talking perspective.

    In the interview, the WWE RAW Women’s Champion talked about how much money she should be making. This is where Lynch made some interesting comments including why she thinks she should earn more than WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon. 

    “I should be making more in that whole company, everybody — Vince McMahon included. I want to change the game. 

    I want to prove that it doesn’t matter your gender, your race, your background, if you are doing the job and keeping people invested if you are keeping people interested, then you deserve to be paid at a level higher than anybody else.”

    Lynch added or high as the best of them because when she looks around the arenas and the majority of the people are in her shirts. 

    She added that the majority of people hold signs for her. Thus, she thinks that WWE should pay her as such and that will be the way it will be.

    Becky Lynch Retains RAW Women’s Title At WWE Royal Rumble

    Becky Lynch is still the WWE RAW Women’s Champion as she went over Asuka to retain the championship. 

    Lynch did so as she beat the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion at the WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view event from the Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas.

    They had been feuding as of late on WWE television including Lynch teaming up with Charlotte Flair that saw them suffer a defeat to Sane and Asuka at the WWE TLC pay-per-view event in Minneapolis, Minnesota at the Target Center earlier this month. This was the first-ever Women’s TLC Tag Team Title Match. 

    Asuka submitted Lynch to retain the title at the 2019 Royal Rumble pay-per-view event at Chase Field in Phoenix which took place in front of a capacity crowd of 48,193.

    The feud in a one-on-one capacity kicked up when Lynch cut a recent promo about how she wanted to face Asuka, which also saw her bring up how there are some people who think Asuka has her number since she’s never beat her before.

    Becky Lynch Clarifies Her Belief About WWE Getting Rid Of “Women’s” Label

    WWE RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch appeared on WWE Backstage this week where she made headlines.

    She did so when she spoke about why she thinks “Women’s” should be removed from the women’s division. In fact, she thinks everything associated with it should be removed. 

    Since then, news came out that WWE officials have reportedly issued an internal memo that says the WWE NXT Women’s Title should be known as the NXT Title moving forward. 

    Lynch took to her official Twitter account to send out a statement in order to clarify her comments that she made on WWE Backstage. She wrote the following: 

    “I wasn’t advocating for any changes in title names or anything else (like I’d have the power)—but simply an equal volume of opportunities that are based on skill, and not gender. 

    The term ‘women’ can limit openings because phrases like, ‘there’s already a women’s match on the show’ is still in wrestling’s historical DNA. 

    We’re all just Superstars who want our shots and places on the shows if we earn and deserve them. I’d simply love us to get to a place where there’s three ‘women’s matches’ on PPV, or ten… or none if it so happens we’re not serving the audience.”

    Lynch will make her next title defense against Asuka at this Sunday’s Royal Rumble pay-per-view event in Houston, Texas at the Minute Maid Park live on the WWE Network.

    Becky Lynch On One Thing She Would Change About WrestleMania 35

    WWE Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch reflected on the historic main event of last year’s WrestleMania and revealed one thing that she would change from it.

    Lynch talked to Sports Illustrated for an interview and revealed that she would have liked to make Ronda Rousey tap for the first time in her life.

    “If I could change anything from WrestleMania, I would have tried to freakin’ sink on that arm bar,” said Lynch. “Make Ronda Rousey tap out for the first time in her life.”

    It was still all good though, as Becky Lynch pinned Rousey to win the match and become “Becky Two Belts”.

    Lynch also became the first woman in WWE history to be on the cover of the WWE 2K video game, alongside with Roman Reigns. Becky says it was a risk being controversial and outspoken but it paid off and proved that anything is possible.

    “It’s unbelievable to be on the cover of WWE 2K20, it means anything is possible,” said Lynch. “We’ve never had a woman on the cover, so it proves that taking risks pays off. It was a risk for me to be more controversial and outspoken, trying to rile up people as opposed to trying to befriend people.”

    Lynch also talked about Reigns and she said that she has admiration for what Reigns went through, surviving leukemia. Lynch said she considers Reigns an inspirational role model.

    Lynch will defend the Raw Women’s Championship against Asuka at the upcoming Royal Rumble pay-per-view event on Sunday, January 26. The event will emanate from the Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas.

    This bout will see Lynch put her RAW Women’s Title on the line against Asuka, who is currently one-half of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions along with Kairi Sane. 

    Asuka vs. Becky Lynch

    This match was expected as it was reported earlier this month that the contest was on the books to take place at the first pay-per-view event of the new year for the company. 

    Lynch cut a recent promo about how she wanted to face Asuka, which also saw her bring up how there are some people who think Asuka has her number since she’s never beat her before.

    They also had been feuding as of late on WWE television including Lynch teaming up with Charlotte Flair that saw them suffer a defeat to Sane and Asuka at the WWE TLC pay-per-view event in Minneapolis, Minnesota at the Target Center earlier this month. This was the first-ever Women’s TLC Tag Team Title Match. 

    WWE presents the Royal Rumble pay-per-view event on Sunday, January 26, 2020 Houston, Texas at the Minute Maid Park and airs on the WWE Network. 

    WWE will be announcing more matches for this show in the coming weeks including competitors for both the men’s and women’s Royal Rumble matches. Here is the updated card:

  • Details On Possible WWE Royal Rumble Title Match

    Details On Possible WWE Royal Rumble Title Match

    News has surfaced regarding one title match at the upcoming Royal Rumble pay-per-view event. 

    Dave Meltzer reported in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that a match between Asuka and WWE RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch is in the works for the Royal Rumble pay-per-view event. 

    This comes after Lynch cut a recent promo about how she wanted to face Asuka, which also saw her bring up how there are some people who think Asuka has her number since she’s never beat her before.

    Per the report, the idea was that Asuka defeating Lynch earlier this year was supposed to lead to Asuka challenging her following WrestleMania. 

    That changed once the program was dropped. It turns out that Paul Heyman, who serves as the RAW Executive Director, came up with the idea to restart it and to have it happen at the Rumble.

    For those who may have forgotten, Asuka submitted Lynch to retain the title at the 2019 Royal Rumble pay-per-view event at Chase Field in Phoenix which took place in front of a capacity crowd of 48,193.

    WWE has already confirmed the Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas will host the Royal Rumble on Sunday, January 26, 2020.

    The event will mark WWE’s debut at Minute Maid Park. Minute Maid Park has a maximum capacity of over 40,000 people. WWE has yet to announce any matches for this upcoming show.

    The belief is that the company will start to do so once the new year is ringed in as typically December is a slow month for WWE.

  • The Kabuki Warriors Win First-Ever Women’s Tag Team TLC Match

    The Kabuki Warriors Win First-Ever Women’s Tag Team TLC Match

    The first-ever Women’s TLC Tag Team Match is in the books. 

    WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions The Kabuki Warriors made their latest title defense against RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch & Charlotte Flair at the WWE TLC pay-per-view event in Minneapolis, Minnesota at the Target Center on the WWE Network. 

    As seen in the contest, Asuka and Kairi Sane picked up the win to retain the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles. 

    This match was locally advertised last month when promotional material for this show first surfaced.

    WWE has been building up to this contest over the past few weeks of television on Monday Night RAW with Flair feuding with Asuka and Kairi Sane. 

    Time will tell whether WWE continues this feud or goes into a different direction heading into the Royal Rumble pay-per-view event next month to kick off the road to WrestleMania 36 in April. 

    Lynch hasn’t defended the RAW Women’s Title since October when she beat Banks inside of the Hell in a Cell structure at the pay-per-view event in Sacramento, California at the Golden 1 Center. 

    What are your thoughts on The Kabuki Warriors retaining the Women’s Tag Team Titles? Was this the right call by WWE officials? Sound off in the comment section.

  • Charlotte Flair On Having A Disconnect With Becky Lynch As Tag Partner

    Charlotte Flair On Having A Disconnect With Becky Lynch As Tag Partner

    Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch have some tension between them which has become apparent recently since they started tagging together.

    On WWE After The Bell, Corey Graves had commented that Charlotte has been “going through the motions” in her current program with Becky Lynch on Raw. While he was criticized for his comments by fans, Charlotte defended him and appeared on this week’s podcast to address the comments.

    Charlotte talked about the disconnect between her and her partner Lynch. She said that it would be unrealistic to expect from her to only be featured in main event stories on WWE.

    Charlotte revealed that she was fine with this and she works as needed for the progress of a storyline.

    Regarding her friendship with Becky Lynch, The Queen told the podcast that her character is an evil queen and she does not need friends. Charlotte is someone who thinks she’s above everyone else, and that’s where the disconnect between the two is.

    Corey Graves had suggested that women are not receiving as much attention as they used to in the company. To this, Charlotte Flair defended the company against these allegations and said that the creative team is doing a great job of writing storylines for female wrestlers, which enable the performers to attract and engage fans with the audiences.

  • Seth Rollins On Who He Wants To Get Inducted By In WWE Hall Of Fame: “Maybe Triple H”

    Seth Rollins On Who He Wants To Get Inducted By In WWE Hall Of Fame: “Maybe Triple H”

    As reported before, Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch were guests at the Gorilla Position Live event in London, where they answered several fan questions.

    A question was posed to Seth Rollins, regarding his future WWE Hall of Fame induction. Rollins was asked who he would like to get inducted by into the HOF. He thought for a few seconds and said “Maybe Triple H.”

    Seth Rollins and Triple H has had quite a bit of history between them. Back in 2014, Rollins betrayed his brethren of the Shield and turned on Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose. He then joined Triple H and became the corporate star.

    Rollins was on top of the company because of his alliance with Triple H, until Triple H turned on Rollins and helped Kevin Owens win the Universal Championship. Triple H labelled Rollins as an abject failure despite of all the chances he was given. This culminated into a match at WrestleMania 33, which Rollins won.

    On Gorilla Position, the duo were asked many other questions. They were asked who their current crush was, to which Becky Lynch replied named Jeff Hardy. Host James Delow mocked Rollins by saying “Seth said Finn Balor”, and The Architect jokingly agreed to it. He also said that Jeff Hardy is his crush too.

    Meanwhile Rollins was also asked who he thinks will induct Lynch into the Hall of Fame. Becky named Finn Balor, and Rollins replied to her answer in a jovial vein by replying that he thought it was Charlotte Flair who would induct her.
