Becky Lynch Still Wants To Wrestle Ronda Rousey One-On-One

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 Reflects On 1-Year As “The Man”

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.”

WWE Survivor Series: Two More Inter-Brand Matches Set

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.

NXT Star Makes Main Roster Debut, Becky Lynch On The Opening Segment Of Raw

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 Takes Shot At AEW Women’s Division

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.”

https://twitter.com/BeckyLynchWWE/status/1188225205203881984

The Tweet is similar to one posted by Conor McGregor in relation to WWE’s roster back in 2016:

Jim Ross on Who is Cool Between Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins

Earlier in this Twitter thread, Jim Ross referred to Becky Lynch as the most over talent in WWE.

Ross was replying to a thread which questioned Seth Rollins’ level of cool:

Stardom and AEW’s Bea Priestley then issued a response:

Becky Lynch On Possibly Having Another All Women’s PPV

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:

Becky Lynch Believes Sonya Deville Can Have A Breakthrough In Career Similar To Hers

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.

Roman Reigns, Becky Lynch & Other WWE Superstars Offer Advice To Unhappy Fans

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.”

Becky Lynch On The Anniversary Of “The Man”

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 vs Becky Lynch Booked For WWE RAW

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.

Becky Lynch Retains RAW Women’s Title At WWE Hell In A Cell

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. 

WWE Hell In A Cell 2019 Results & Live Coverage (10/6)

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.

Sheamus Talks About Becky Lynch’s Success, His Role In WWE Hiring Her

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.

Becky Lynch Talks About Equality In Wrestling

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.

Becky Lynch On The Best Part About Her Rise To The Top

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.

“Hey Bayley, isn’t it great to see the women’s champion get so much attention on the new Smackdown ads for Fox? You’re doing amazing, Sweetie.” She later followed it up with, “I was a little petty there. I’ve been stabbed in the back a lot, but your one really hurt. Now you know I’ll have to make that right someday. See you soon.”

Lacey Evans, who feuded with Lynch over the RAW Women’s Title earlier this year, chimed in and referred to the comments as “classless and embarrassing.” Lynch would respond to this:

Now it appears that some latest advertisements might have given us an idea about a few big names which could be moving to the Blue Brand in the draft.

Some recently surfaced photos as seen below reveal that WWE and FOX recently hired production company Two Birds Films to work on a SmackDown promotional video during the SummerSlam weekend.

The photos feature some SmackDown stars such as Randy Orton and Mandy Rose. However, they also include some names which are currently a part of the Raw roster, including Rey Mysterio, The Miz, Alexa Bliss, and Becky Lynch.

Out of these 4, Alexa Bliss is one half of the current Women’s Tag Team Champions alongside Nikki Cross so she could make appearances on both the shows while still being considered a Raw star.

However, the other three names are exclusive to the red roster. Since reports suggest that we will see a harder brand split once the shows are on different networks, these photos have led to speculation that these stars could be moving to SmackDown Live.

Though it’s also possible that these stars make some promotional appearances on the show instead of joining their roster and continue to be a part of Raw. So we will have to wait for the drafts to find out which stars actually switch brands.

Which stars would you like to see switch brands in the upcoming WWE drafts? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.

WWE’s Four Horsewomen Discuss RAW Tag Team Match, Future Ambitions

Tonight’s Monday Night RAW will see RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch team up with Charlotte Flair against SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley and Sasha Banks. Ahead of this Four Horsewomen reunion, all four Superstars sat down with ESPN.com to discuss their tag match. They also spoke about their future ambitions.

When it comes to tonight’s match at Madison Square Garden, Bayley reflected that “The four of us will always be tied together and having a match with all of us in a place like MSG is special. I came up to the main roster last and this is one of the only times we’ve all been in the ring together on the main roster.”

“It’s a pretty big moment especially in somewhere like MSG, which is so historical,” Lynch added. “It’s a whole different kettle of fish now, and I’m a whole different woman now.

Sasha Banks commented on how “It’s really crazy to know that I’m gonna be in the ring with these girls that I started with and I haven’t been in the ring with them for a very long time.”

Our stories are so intertwined if you go back to the beginning,” Flair said. “But I will say for Monday, this is the first time that the four of us have been on Raw together — just the four of us in a solo storyline.”

Never Satisfied

When it comes to their future plans, Bayley admitted that, despite everything they have achieved, none of them will ever be content or satisfied. Lynch added to this idea, claiming she would like to main event more shows. 

“Just more main events,” Lynch said. “Just constantly main eventing and generating interest, whether it’s the main event or not. And that’s what we’re doing. Look, that’s all I’ve ever wanted — for women’s wrestling to be the coolest thing on TV, for people to be talking, for people to have opinions, for people to be so invested they can’t miss our matches.

Banks doesn’t want to main event more pay-per-views—she wants to main event every single one. She explained she wanted to main event every major show as well as every TV show and Live Event. “I want it just like as the guys do — I want to have it all. I’m never gonna be satisfied. Even when I get that, I’m gonna want more. That’s just the kind of person that I am.”

Charlotte Flair, however, believes that although it may not take place next year or even in a few years, a Fatal Four Way match between them will eventually main event WrestleMania:

“I hope the future holds the four of us in a Fatal Four Way in the main event of WrestleMania. That’s what I hope the future holds. I’m not saying it’s this year, next year, the next or the next after that. But eventually I truly believe that the Fatal Four Way will be a main event match at WrestleMania.”

Stephanie McMahon Reacts To Becky Lynch’s Challenge

WWE RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch has made it clear that she wants to wrestle Stephanie McMahon and do it on a big stage. 

Lynch has had a great 2019 with various accomplishments but there is still one goal that she wants and that’s to wrestle the daughter of WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon. 

Lynch has been looking to get this match booked since July as she responded to McMahon’s comments about her being featured on the cover of ESPN The Magazine’s “Blockbuster” issue.

This is when she stated that they should fight sometime. 

Fast forward to last week when the news was made that Lynch is featured in an episode of the iconic “This is SportsCenter” commercial series.

After McMahon commented on Lynch’s appearance, Lynch asked if she had some time to think about fighting her in front of a lot of people.

McMahon has responded to this challenge and didn’t give an answer. Instead, she told her to focus on her next challenge. 

Lynch is slated to make her next title defense against Sasha Banks at the Clash of Champions pay-per-view event on Sunday, September 15, 2019, in Charlotte, North Carolina at the Spectrum Center.

Becky Lynch Reflects On History With Sasha Banks, Offers Advice To NXT Superstars Ahead Of Move To USA Network

Current RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch has spoken about her history with Sasha Banks. She also offered advice for NXT Superstars ahead of the show’s move to USA Network later this month.

In an interview with Newsweek, Lynch looked back at her time in NXT with Sasha Banks.

“When we were in NXT, she was seen as the top dog, and I was lucky to even get a look,” Lynch recalled. “And now it’s funny because the tides have changed. I think that it’s a different animal up here on the main roster. Things have changed, match times have changed, and everything is cutthroat, and I took that and ran with it and became ‘The Man’ I am today.”

Lynch commented on how Banks “took her ball and went home” for a few months. She added that Banks believes she can just return to WWE and take Lynch’s spot—a spot the RAW Women’s Champion has no interest in giving up.

When it comes to NXT’s move to USA Network, Lynch offered her advice to the black-and-gold brands Superstars.

“Work hard,” she said. “Work harder than anyone else, and don’t be afraid to fail. You fail, you fail. You can always come back, you can come back from anything. Keep working hard. Take those risks, they are so important.”

NXT debuts on USA Network on September 18th.

Becky Lynch Hits Stunner To Steve Austin (Video)

WWE RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch had the honor to hit a move to WWE Hall of Famer Steve Austin, which is rare these days as it’s not often to see the pro wrestling legend take a bump. 

Monday’s episode of Austin’s reality show, “Straight Up Steve Austin” that aired on Monday night after Raw on the USA Network.

Towards the end of the show, the two stars were in a ring that led to them drinking some beer. 

Lynch hit Austin’s signature finisher, Stunner, to him that laid him out. She walked away after telling him that’s what happens when the man comes around. Check it out here: 

Steve Austin Loves Becky Lynch’s Work: “She Does Remind Me A Lot Of Myself”

Lynch has made her rise with the moniker as “The Man,” which many fans have compared her to Austin. Part of that success is due to the way that WWE has been booking her, which is similar to Austin.

Austin has his next WWE appearance booked as he’ll be appearing on next Monday’s RAW show at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

This is where he’ll be a moderator for the contract signing between WWE RAW Tag Team Champions Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman for their Universal Title match at Clash of Champions.
