Former Universal Champion Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch appeared as guests on Gorilla Position Live in London. They both answered a bunch of questions from fans and Rollins shared an amusing interaction that he had with Vince McMahon regarding Becky Lynch, which almost led him to think that he might have to fight his boss.
Rollins revealed that McMahon was interested in knowing if his girlfriend Lynch had gotten a tan after vacationing in Hawaii together.
“So my story with Vince is a recent one, there are so many to pick from, but actually it involves her. So, we took like our first vacation ever. Actually it’s where I proposed to her. We spent two weeks in Hawaii, which, ah, amazing. We hadn’t taken a Monday off in, ever, right? So we took a Monday off for a vacation, and when we came back, I was sitting with Vince. We were talking about something and we were done, and I was about to leave, and he goes, ‘Can I ask you a personal question? Did Becky get a tan?’ I was like, ‘Yeah she’ll tell you, she identifies as a tan person now.’ She got a great tan in Hawaii, but yeah just the way he phrased it, I was like, ‘Oh no, how is this going to go. Am I gonna fight Vince McMahon right now?’”
While Rollins didn’t state what the boss’ intentions were behind the question, but the fact that no confrontation happened between the two suggests that McMahon didn’t mean any harm by the comment.
You can watch Seth tell the story in the video below:

of the night.

R Truth Wins 24/7 Title Back
This week’s episode of Raw saw R Truth running away from a
number of WWE superstars backstage and Kyle Busch and Michael Waltrip who were
present there helped direct the stars chasing Truth.
However, Michael revealed his referee shirt as soon as the
other stars were gone and the segment ended with Kyle pinning the former US
Champion to become the new WWE 24/7 Champion.
Though Truth did manage to win the title back before the night ended and WWE posted the following video of the Raw star winning his championship back after the show was over:
“The Man” Becky Lynch has passed an import championship record previously held by Ronda Rousey. Lynch’s current reign with the RAW Women’s Championship is now the longest single reign in the title’s short lineage.
Longest single-reigns RAW Women’s Championship:
Becky Lynch (WrestleMania 35 – Present) 232+ days as champion.
Ronda Rousey (SummerSlam 2018 to WrestleMania 35) 232 days as champion.
Alexa Bliss (RAW 8/28/17 to WrestleMania 34) 223 days as champion.
Charlotte Flair (WrestleMania 32 to July 25th, 2016) 113 days spent as champion.
Alexa Bliss (Payback 2017 to SummerSlam 2017) 112 days as champion.
Lynch commented on passing Rousey’s record on Twitter.
She will team with Charlotte Flair at Starrcade this weekend and challenge the Kabuki Warriors for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships.
Lynch currently ranks 3rd all-time in terms of total days spent with the RAW Women’s Championship. She passed Rousey today for that spot and now trails only Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss. Lynch will pass Flair in this stat in 10 days.
Combined Days Spent as RAW Women’s Championship

WWE booked a rare match that saw all of the female champions under the banner of the company and it took place on one night at Survivor Series.
This interesting match saw a battle between RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch, NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler, and SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley.
The contest served as the main event of Sunday’s (November 24, 2019) WWE Survivor Series pay-per-view event in Chicago, Illinois at the Allstate Arena on the WWE Network.
Baszler ended up winning the non-title triple threat match. As a result of this win, Baszler has all of the bragging rights. This marked the first time that the women’s champion from NXT was featured in the main event match of Survivor Series.
It’s interesting that it was featured among all of the interbrand matches at what is considered one of the big four events of the year for WWE along with WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, and SummerSlam.
WWE set up this match when they had Baszler invade the infamous November 1st episode of Friday Night SmackDown to attack Bayley. Since then, the women have appeared on episodes of each brand.
What are your thoughts on WWE having win the interbrand match at this show? Was this the right call by WWE officials? Sound off in the comment section.
There were several RAW and SmackDown stars to appear on Wednesday’s episode of WWE NXT that aired live on the USA Network from Winter Park, Florida at Full Sail University.
RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch opened the show by wrestling Rhea Ripley only for it to end in a no contest. Ricochet wrestled Matt Riddle in the second match of the night that saw Riddle go over. After the match, Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura attacked both stars.
Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder lost to Bobby Fish and Kyle O’Reilly later in the show. There was a big brawl between the RAW, SmackDown, and NXT women.
The RAW Tag Team champions The Viking Raiders battle the Forgotten Sons in a non-title match. In the closing moments of the show, WWE did a big brawl with members of the men’s teams with RAW, SmackDown, and NXT.
Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins were the biggest stars from the main roster to take part in the brawl. The show ended when Rollins and Tommaso Ciampa fighting.
For those who may have forgotten, Rollins was crowned the inaugural NXT Champion as he won the title back in 2012 after winning a tournament and beating Jinder Mahal in the finals.
Rollins will be the captain of the RAW men’s team for the traditional elimination tag team match at Survivor Series this Sunday night in Chicago, Illinois at the Allstate Arena.
Randy Orton, Ricochet, Kevin Owens, and Drew McIntyre rounds out Team RAW. rounding out Team SmackDown is Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman, Shorty G, Ali and King Corbin.
This was done as a way to promote the crossover between RAW, SmackDown, and NXT heading into the interbrand collision that the shows are on come Sunday night at Survivor Series.
WWE RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch is still lobbying for a one-on-one confrontation with “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey. In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Lynch reiterated her interest in facing off against the former UFC Bantamweight Champion.
“I’m exactly where I want to be, but there’s always more work to be done,” Lynch said. “The world still needs that one-on-match with Ronda Rousey. Whenever she’s ready, I’ll be here, still holding down the fort in WWE.”
Until that time, however, Lynch is eagerly awaiting her next major rival to step up and make a name for themselves. She’s hoping that people will stop complaining, and actually start pushing themselves in new, unique ways.
“In our locker room, there are two types of people,” explained Lynch. “Those who are bitching about how I got to the top and those who are trying to copy what I did. But you have to go outside of that. You have to be completely different.
She continued, “Step up. Make a name for yourself. Do it without doing it the way I did. I see what everyone else is doing, and then I try to do the opposite. Be original. Create the interest I have, put together the matches I’ve had. No one can do what I do. If you can, please step up to the plate.”
Lynch made history earlier this year at WrestleMania 35. Alongside Rousey and Charlotte Flair, she would main event WWE’s biggest event—the first time women have ever done so. Lynch walked away the winner of their Triple Threat match, claiming both the RAW Women’s Championship and the SmackDown Women’s Championship in the process.
Becky Lynch will face both Shayna Baszler and Bayley in a champion versus champion versus champion triple threat match at Survivor Series this year. Last year in the build-up to Survivor Series, Lynch was forced to be removed from the event due to a concussion she sustained on the go-home edition of RAW that week. Lynch sustained the concussion due to a punch to the face from Nia Jax.
With the build-up to her superstardom now a year old, Lynch spoke to Sports Illustrated recently about the last 12 months of her career.
“I wasn’t letting that moment slip away,” Lynch said regarding the RAW where she sustained the concussion. “So I showed up the next day at TV in St. Louis, concussed out of my mind, begging to work, begging to be cleared. I told anyone who would listen I was fine even though, clearly, I wasn’t.”
“There have been so many times in my career where I thought I was hot, thought I had momentum, then I was taken off TV and it slipped away,” said Lynch. “But there was no way I was letting this slip past me. I wanted to make wrestling the coolest thing on TV. That was my goal, and I wasn’t going to stop trying to make that a reality.”
Lynch continued to speak about her experience at WrestleMania 35 where she would win the first-ever Women’s match to headline the show.
“Wrestling is 20% about the matches and 80% about how you engage with the people who care about you,” said Lynch. “I remember walking through the building at WrestleMania 35, passing by The Undertaker and Hulk Hogan. I’d idolized them when I was younger, and now they’d be watching me in the main event. And that’s something I accomplished with the help of these people.”
Two new matches have been announced for the upcoming WWE Survivor Series PPV and will feature talent from all three brands – RAW, SmackDown, and NXT.
This comes after WWE confirmed last week that talent from NXT would be featured for the first time ever at Survivor Series.
The card will see a Triple Threat Match as RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch, NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler, and SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley will compete against each other.
WWE set up this contest on Monday’s episode of RAW in Uniondale, New York at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum when Lynch was doing a backstage promo when Bazler interrupted her and they have a tense conversation.
Due to the WWE Draft, Bayley didn’t appear on the show as members of each show are exclusive to their respective brands and can’t appear on the opposite show.
Also, SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Revival vs. NXT Tag Team Champions Undisputed Era vs. RAW Tag Team Champions Viking Raiders will take place.
WWE presents the Survivor Series pay-per-view event on Sunday, November 24, 2019 in Chicago, Illinois at the Allstate Arena that will air on the WWE Network.

Pro Wrestling Illustrated has released their annual PWI Top-100 rankings for female wrestlers. Perhaps not surprisingly, Becky Lynch tops the list this year after winning in the main event of WrestleMania 35.
Lynch replaces Ronda Rousey who topped the list last year in her first year of eligibility.
“The Man” tweeted the following about the accolade:
NXT Star Catalina Garcia made her main roster debut on Raw
this week after being signed by the company earlier this year and joining the
performance center in mid-August.
She wore a mask for her debut and accompanied Sin Cara for his rematch against Andrade. Garcia’s presence helped Cara in equaling the odds with Zelina Vega but Andrade still managed to win the bout.
Catalina has worked a few matches at NXT Live Events after making her debut for the brand during a live event on October 10th. It’s unknown if she will stick around the main roster after this appearance or if she will be sent back to development.
Becky Lynch On The Opening Segment Of Raw
The opening segment of this week’s Raw saw former Diva’s
Champion Paige introducing the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, The Kabuki
Warriors. However, the whole segment ended with one half of the tag team in
Asuka spitting green mist into her face.
Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch later faced the other half of the current tag champs, Kairi Sane in a singles match. Despite the distraction from Sane’s partner Asuka, the Man was able to win this bout.
After the show was over, Lynch was asked about the Kabuki Warriors’ treatment of the former SmackDown General Manager. Replying to it, Becky said that she respects Paige but she was out there to fight her own battles:
Becky Lynch broke out some of her Conor McGregor influence to take a shot at the AEW women’s division recently. “The Man” was responding to comments made by Jim Ross recently when she said she would “whoop” the entire AEW women’s division any day of the week and “twice on Sundays.”
Both Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch have matches scheduled for Monday night on RAW. This week’s edition of the show will emanate from the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, MO.
Rollins is scheduled to take on Erik Rowan on the show as he prepares to defend his Universal title against Bray Wyatt at Crown Jewel. Becky Lynch will face one-half of the WWE Women’s tag team champions Kairi Sane.
The 2018’s Evolution PPV was a highly praised show and there were reports of WWE considering another similar event for next year after in concluded. However so far there has been no news of the same.
The current Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch recently had an interview with DualShockers while promoting the WWE 2K20 video game and during the interview, she was asked if she thinks we will see another all women’s PPV anytime soon.
Replying to the question, The Man explained that she doesn’t want to have the show because it’s politically correct and instead she would like to have an event only featuring the female competitors when there are enough interesting storylines for it:
“I don’t want to see anything forced— like we feel like
we have to give an all women’s PPV because it is “politically correct”. Let it
(happen) because all the storylines are so goddamn interesting!”
Becky Lynch was part of the first all women’s WWE PPV where she successfully defended her SmackDown Women’s Championship against ‘The Queen’ Charlotte Flair in a Last Woman Standing match.
Apart from this, the current champion also talked about being featured on WWE 2K20, holding the Up Up Down Down championship and more. You can check out her full interview in the video below:
WWE Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch believes another female wrestler on the WWE roster could have a rise in her career similar to her. While speaking to WWE’s The Bump, Lynch revealed she sees potential in Sonya Deville who could be the next star to revive and propel her career to new heights.
While on the show, Becky was asked who she thinks can have a breakthrough moment in their career just like hers, and achieve similar feats like being the first woman on the cover of a video game, main event WrestleMania, etc.
Lynch said that anyone who makes a connection with the crowd will be able to achieve success as the people are the ones who can make it possible.
“Yeah, look I don’t think anybody would’ve expected it to be me and I think that’s the great thing but anybody who can get a connection with the crowd because it’s all about the crowd,” Lynch said.
“It’s the people that put you there, the people that put me there. And if they get that then I see some people that can do that. I think Sonya Deville is one to look out for.”
Sonya Deville teams up with Mandy Rose on SmackDown and they were not drafted in this year’s WWE Draft and were free agents. The company then announced that both Deville and Rose have been signed to SmackDown as part of their free agent signings.
Several WWE Superstars including Roman Reigns, Becky Lynch, Luke Gallows and Drew McIntyre recently spoke with Forbes‘ Brian Mazique. They were asked to share their thoughts about fan opinions, and how they feel regarding the backlash a lot of WWE programming has been receiving.
Roman Reigns addressed the negative reaction to the main event of WWE’s recent Hell in a Cell pay-per-view between WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins and ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt. The match ended in a referee stoppage.
“I think you should express your opinions, but it doesn’t hurt anybody if you have a shred of respect,” Reigns said. “Have a little respect for the performers who were out there killing themselves for you. I didn’t like the Hell in a Cell finish either, but I wasn’t about to cuss some guys out who got hit in the head over and over. Bray Wyatt put his health on the line to entertain some fans to the best of his ability. I didn’t like it, but I respect Bray’s effort and willingness to go out there and do what you have to do. So, if you can, just a little bit of respect.”
RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch added, “It’s hard being a wrestling fan sometimes. We’re all just going out there doing our best to entertain you guys. We care about you guys. We want you to enjoy yourselves and it hurts when you don’t like it. We feel your pain. We’re all in this together. I’ll do all I can. Just tune into my Twitter. I’ll be entertaining there.”
“If You Love Wrestling, Just Let It Play Out”
O.C. member, Luke Gallows, also spoke about the Hell in a Cell main event. He recommended that fans try to just enjoy the product and that they should trust that Vince McMahon knows what he’s doing.
“There are 52 weeks of episodic television,” Gallows stated. “There was controversy over the pay-per-view (HIAC) the other night. Guys, the story continues on Monday. It continues on Wednesday, Friday, and then on and on. My advice would be to enjoy it. In a movie, there has to be an antagonist. There has to be a negative to turn into a positive. So, in my opinion, if you like what we do, it’ll turn out the way you want it to. We’re in a culture of complainers.”
He continued, “[…] I think you just have to let the story play out. WWE has been in business for how long? The company has been master storytellers. Vince [McMahon] obviously knows what he’s doing. There’s got be a reason for certain things that happen. If you love wrestling, just let it play out.”
Drew McIntyre offered that society seems to be obsessed with living in a negative culture. He pointed to social media as a tool that allows people to wallow in their negativity.
“It’s like every aspect of life, people are very negative,” McIntyre said. “You see them complain on social media. When I was younger, I became complacent and deserved to get fired. Because I forgot I was living a dream. You have to realize, you can’t always be in the lead. If you work hard, you’ll get your opportunity. Look at Chad Gable. He’s getting his opportunity. I don’t remember seeing him on social media every minute saying, ‘I’m not getting the opportunity I deserve, brother.’ He just worked hard until he got it.”
Last year in June, Becky Lynch began a winning streak after a major slump in her career and won the SmackDown Women’s Championship. She then turned heel for the first time and started using “The Man” moniker. Lynch perceived herself as an unfairly-treated underdog and attacked Charlotte Flair after their match with Carmella at SummerSlam.
The change in character was well received by audiences and Becky Lynch would go on to win both the Raw and SmackDown Women titles in the main event of WrestleMania, which got her another nickname, “Becky Two Belts”.
Since then, the current Raw Women’s Champion has been on a roll and she looked back on her career and talked about her “Manniversary” in a recent interview with IGN.
“Wow, yes, it would have been around this time that I started it. Whoa. Either time is flying or, I don’t know, maybe it even feels shorter than a year. It’s been crazy. It’s been go go go go. So many things have happened that it’s sometimes hard to sit back and realize ‘Well, this has gone alright for itself,” Becky Lynch said.
The Man also discussed how her journey has been to this point. She stated that she didn’t usually have time to think and look back at her achievements, but when she realized how much she has progressed she asked herself how far can she still go.
“It’s all been incredible. I’ve been fortunate enough to have done so many firsts, but it’s very hard to sit back and let it all sink in. When we were filming the trailer for [WWE 2K20], it was the first time I sat back and realized what the magnitude was of main eventing WrestleMania this year. And what it had done for me. And it sat in me for a second on the set, because I never usually have time to think about it. Because after WrestleMania there was media. And then there was RAW. And then SmackDown. And then my parents came back to my house. So I never had time to digest any of it. So while shooting for this, it was probably the first time I really thought about it. But, also, it’s always just ‘What’s next?’ How can we keep it going? How do we keep it moving? How can we keep this industry exciting? How can we make people care more? How can we get people more invested? That’s what I’m always thinking about.”
On main eventing WrestleMania, The Man said that she needs more girls to step up as she can’t do it alone.
“If everyone’s resting on their laurels, and feeling complacent, then we can’t get better. I can’t main event WrestleMania by myself. And I got a taste of it and I don’t want to give up that spot. I want to main event WrestleMania again and again and again.”
Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch will go one-on-one this Monday on Raw. Lynch was the first pick selected in the draft by Raw while Banks was drafted to Smackdown.
“This time, their rivalry’s latest chapter determines which brand gets the first pick to begin Night 2 of the WWE Draft. Becky will represent Raw after being selected first overall on Friday’s SmackDown, while ‘The Blueprint’ battles on behalf of the blue brand,” a WWE press release for the match reads.
Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch will go one-on-one this Monday on RAW. Lynch was the first pick selected in the draft last night by RAW while Banks was drafted to Smackdown. Tonight could be the last time the two face off for awhile considering the end fo the Wild Card rule between RAW and Smackdown.
As with the Seth Rollins vs Roman Reigns match which kicked off Smackdown, the match between Lynch and Banks will determine which brand gets the first pick in the second part of the draft.
“This time, their rivalry’s latest chapter determines which brand gets the first pick to begin Night 2 of the WWE Draft. Becky will represent Raw after being selected first overall on Friday’s SmackDown, while ‘The Blueprint’ battles on behalf of the blue brand,” a WWE press release for the match reads.
RAW this Monday comes from the Pepsi Center in Denver. The Viking Raiders challenging Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode for the RAW Tag Team titles has already been booked for the show as well.
Sasha Banks vs Becky Lynch Head To Head Statistics
Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks have met in single’s action 12x on WWE programming (not including house shows). They’ve met twice in 2019, with each competitor winning once. Banks defeated Lynch via DQ at Clash of Champions and then Lynch defeated Banks at Hell in a Cell.
Hell in a Cell was actually the first time Lynch has defeated Banks in single’s action dating all the way back to when they were in NXT together. Banks leads the all-time single’s series between the two 7-1 with 4 other matches having been draws or no-contests.
Becky Lynch is still the WWE RAW Women’s Champion as she went over Sasha Banks.
Lynch did so as 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 on the WWE Network.
This was expected by some fans. The reason for that is due to the upcoming draft that will take place over the next week on both RAW and SmackDown Live.
When WWE announced the news and promoted SmackDown Live moving to FOX starting this month on Friday nights, Lynch was featured in the promotional material.
As a result, it caused speculation that she could be moved to a different brand. Time will tell whether that happens but her keeping the title here could be a major indication of that not happening.
This was a rematch and second match in the feud that appears to be over. It came after Banks beat Lynch by DQ in their title match at the WWE Clash of Champions pay-per-view event in Charlotte, North Carolina.
What are your thoughts on Becky Lynch retaining the WWE RAW Women’s Title? Was this the right call by WWE officials? Sound off in the comment section.
WWE Superstar Sheamus recently spoke with Express.co.uk. During their conversation, the former United States and WWE Champion opened up about his role in Becky Lynch getting hired by WWE. He also addressed her rise to the top as ‘The Man.’
“I actually talked to Becky, I had a conversation before her tryout,” Sheamus recalled. “I think I got her in touch with whoever it was, I got her in touch with the right people. I just made a connection, she did it all herself. Sometimes things can get misconstrued or whatever, like I got her in WWE … That’s not true at all, but I gave her the information and passed it on until she got the opportunity. She did it, she took it.”
“That Was Just Her”
When it comes to Becky Lynch’s rise through the ranks to competing in the first-ever women’s main event at WrestleMania, Sheamus believes the success is well-deserved. He said he always knew she was a phenomenal talent who was very good at making the most of every situation and opportunity.
“When that Becky Lynch revolution started, the whole ‘The Man’ thing, that was just her,” he explained. “They weren’t doing anything with her but on Twitter, on social media, she just vented, she said what she wanted to say and it just started picking up steam.”
He continued, “She’s a really good friend of mine and we’ve always had conversations; she asks me advice, I ask her sometimes. I think it’s phenomenal, I think it’s well-deserved, I think she’s very, very smart [and] a very intelligent person. She knows exactly what she’s doing and she can back it up in the ring, so she deserves everything she gets.”
Sheamus has been missing from in-ring action for some time since sustaining an injury in April. He has vocalised his ambitions of winning the Intercontinental Championship upon his return. If he did, he would become a WWE Grand Slam Champion.
Current WWE RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch recently attended the Global Citizen Festival. She was there as a celebrity guest host. In a recent interview with Yahoo! Entertainment, Lynch spoke about her time at the Festival and about pushing for equality in pro wrestling.
She confessed she was excited to be there, calling the festival a “wonderful cause.” When it comes to making a difference, Lynch explained how WWE is a global entity that tells stories everybody can relate to.
She added “There’s absolutely nothing greater than Global Citizen and trying to end world poverty and try and create equality for everyone on the planet and end gender inequality. It’s incredible.”
When asked about what she is striving for as a wrestler, “The Man” replied that she wanted the women’s locker room to be given equal opportunity to shine.
“Give us the opportunity — give everyone equal opportunity — and let’s see what happens there,” she said. “I’m not asking for a free ride or anything like that. It’s about earning your spot and I think that people don’t need to be held down because of gender, race, where they come from. It’s all about proving your worth as a human and being allowed to be treated as such.”
Becky Lynch is scheduled to defend her RAW Women’s Championship against Sasha Banks at WWE’s pay-per-view Hell in a Cell. The event takes place on October 6th at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California.
The story of Becky Lynch’s rise to the top is nothing short
of miraculous and the Inaugural SmackDown Women’s Champion has gone on from
being a forgotten competitor to one of the most over stars in the current
roster.
The current Raw Women’s Champion recently had an interview with Yahoo where she talked about a number of things including the upcoming WWE 2K20 video game and more.
While talking about her heel turn and rise to the top of the
company, Becky said that the best part of the past year has been seeing how
invested people get in the storylines:
“I think [the best part of the past year has been] really
seeing how invested people get into this and how it has changed people’s
perceptions of what you can do as a woman or anybody really — saying enough is
enough,”
Lynch went on to recall how she felt guilty when she first
became the SmackDown Women’s Champion thinking about everybody and wishing that
they all could be champion.
However, she played herself down in doing so and after
seeing people getting handed opportunities, she promised herself that it won’t
happen again.
Becky Lynch is currently involved in a storyline with Sasha Banks and it’s speculated that she can lose the Women’s title to Banks and be moved to SmackDown Live in the upcoming drafts.
Becky Lynch and Roman Reigns are both set to provide voices for the 2020 WWE Studios animated film “Rumble.” WWE Studios announced the film will be produced in collaboration with Paramount Animation.

Will Arnett, Terry Crews and Geraldine Viswanathan will also provide voices for the movie. Tony Danza and Michael Buffer will both also have roles.
Becky Lynch and Roman Reigns To Provide Voices For “Rumble”

We are thrilled to have a seasoned and dynamic cast in place to breathe life into this exciting story and can’t wait to bring it to audiences.”

Becky Lynch was disqualified last night in her RAW women’s title match against Sasha Banks. Lynch attempted to hit Banks with a chair but ended up hitting a referee instead. Today, WWE has announced Lynch will be fined $10,000 for her actions.
“Becky Lynch has been fined $10,000 for inadvertently striking a referee during her Raw Women’s Championship Match against Sasha Banks,” WWE’s press release reads.
Lynch was interviewed following her match against Sasha Banks last night. During the interview she stressed that she is not finished with Banks. Lynch’s comments can be viewed in the player below:
“Some fights are about victory and some fights are about revenge, tonight was about revenge,” Lynch said.
“I am this business and I’m not finished,” she continued.
Becky Lynch got some revenge but her feud with Sasha Banks will continue.
Banks wasn’t able to knock off “The Man” in one of the top matches at the WWE Clash of Champions pay-per-view event in Charlotte, North Carolina to win the WWE RAW Women’s Title.
Instead, Lynch accidentally knocked the referee out with a chair strike that led to the talent to continue to brawl. Lynch was disqualified and Banks was awarded the win but not the championship.
It appears clear that WWE will continue this feud heading into the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view event on Sunday, October 6, 2019 in Sacramento, California at the Golden 1 Center.
