  • Becky Lynch Shuts Down Hulk Hogan Suggesting Legends Should Take Over WWE At Raw Reunion

    Becky Lynch Shuts Down Hulk Hogan Suggesting Legends Should Take Over WWE At Raw Reunion

    The WWE RAW Women’s Champion, Becky Lynch, isn’t impressed with a tweet recently uploaded by Hulk Hogan.

    In the original tweet, Hogan admired the colors of the the sunset. He commented on the blend of yellow, red, and black.

    It was then that he apparently had the “crazy thought” that all of the RAW Reunion Superstars in attendance for tonight’s RAW special should get together, say ‘enough is enough,’ and just take over the whole WWE. Their intention? To rule it for life.

    Her response was curt and to the point, as she replied: “Yeah, that doesn’t work for me, Brother.”

    Take Over 4 Life

    “The Immortal” Hulk Hogan’s original message read:

    “For some reason, I saw this last night I thought of the #RawReunion,brother ,the red/yellow/black color scheme made my mind kick start with a crazy thought,what if the Reunion Superstars got together and said enough is enough and just took over the whole WWE and Ruled4 Life. HH”

    With a cavalcade of former legends and Superstars in attendance for tonight’s Reunion special, it’s not out of the question that Hogan and Lynch might cross paths.

    Becky Lynch is scheduled to defend her WWE RAW Women’s Championship against Natalya at SummerSlam, which takes place on August 11th from the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Canada.

  • Becky Lynch Says She Will Beat The Bejesus Out Of Natalya

    Becky Lynch Says She Will Beat The Bejesus Out Of Natalya

    Natalya won a Fatal Four-way elimination match on Raw recently and the win earned her the right to challenge ‘The Man’ Becky Lynch for the Raw Women’s Championship at the upcoming SummerSlam PPV.

    While stopping by at the Marvel Live Stream at San Deigo Comic-Con, Lynch talked about a number of things and she also claimed that she is going to beat the bejesus out of Natalya.

    Becky first mentioned how she is going to be facing Natalya in her home country and recalled how the first time these two met was 14 years ago in her home country of Canada.

    Continuing on the topic, the Raw Women’s Champion said that it’s a full circle now and claimed that she is going to beat the bejesus out of Canada’s girl in Canada.

    Apart from this, Lynch also talked about trying to better herself after she was asked how it feels to be the face of the WWE at the moment.

    She said that she is constantly striving for perfection. The Women’s Champion claimed that she is always asking how she can perfect her craft in hopes of hitting excellence somewhere along the line.

    Apart from this, Becky Lynch also talked about her Comic-Con experience, making history in the main event of WrestleMania and more. You can check out her full interview in the video below:

  • Ember Moon vs Charlotte Flair & Other Segments Announced For Smackdown

    Ember Moon vs Charlotte Flair & Other Segments Announced For Smackdown

    Smackdown and 205 Live will take place from the American Airlines Arena in Miami, Florida this week. WWE announced 3 segments for this week’s show, including Ember Moon going one-on-one with Charlotte Flair.

    Moon was recently announced as Bayley’s opponent at SummerSlam for the Smackdown women’s championship. Flair could potentially insert herself into the title picture with a win on Tuesday night, however.

    Shane McMahon is scheduled to address Kevin Owens’ actions for last week as well on Tuesday night. McMahon held a Town Hall meeting to kick-off Smackdown last week. Also announced for Tuesday’s Smackdown is Kofi Kingston issuing an open challenge for SummerSlam.

    Ember Moon vs Charlotte Flair

    “Ember Moon received the biggest opportunity of her WWE career thus far last week, when SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley challenged her to a title match at SummerSlam. However, The Shenom will have no time to rest on her laurels, as she now has to prepare to challenge The Queen,” a WWE press release for the match reads.

    Flair and Moon have never faced each other on WWE programming aside from both being in the 2019 Royal Rumble and the 2018 Money in the Bank matches. They have met a few times on recent WWE live events, however. Flair defeated Moon twice in a row on June 1st and 2nd last month during a WWE tour of Texas. Moon then won a triple threat against Flair and Liv Morgan on a WWE house show from Glenn Falls, New York on July 8th.

    Also booked for Tuesday on 205 Live will be Isaiah “Swerve” Scott making his 205 Live debut against Cruiserweight Champion Drew Gulak in a non-title match.

    “The Man” Becky Lynch will face Natalya at SummerSlam in Toronto. The match was confirmed this week after Natalya won a 4-way elimination match on RAW. Lynch then got in her future challenger’s face following the match.

    Lynch also took to Twitter recently to hit back at critics who say she is too arrogant. Such sentiment was recently expressed by WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry on Busted Open Radio.

    “I haven’t been feeling it for months now. The arrogance thing is not for her. That’s for someone like Baron Corbin or Sami Zayn,” Henry said on the show.

    Lynch sent the following out on Twitter recently, though she did not state what it was in reference to.

  • Seth Rollins Discusses Being Separated From Becky Lynch In New WWE Storylines

    Seth Rollins Discusses Being Separated From Becky Lynch In New WWE Storylines

    WWE didn’t take long to pair up Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch into their storylines after it was revealed the two were dating in real life.

    Following Extreme Rules, however, it appears that WWE may not be sending the two of them in different directions.

    Speaking with Newsweek, Seth Rollins addressed their storyline pairing, claiming that they only came together on TV because of Baron Corbin.

    “The stories aligned only because of Baron Corbin aligned them,” Rollins said. “It was circumstantial. It wasn’t like Becky and I thought “hey, we’re dating now, let’s be on TV together and have matches together.” So now we’re back being supportive boyfriend and girlfriend for each other.
    I’m looking forward to her match with Natalya at SummerSlam, and, hopefully, she’s looking forward to me beating Brock Lesnar and winning back the Universal title.”

    Seth Rollins lost the WWE Universal Championship to Brock Lesnar after Lesnar cashed in his Money In The Bank briefcase at Extreme Rules. The cash in took place after Rollins and Lynch defeated Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans.

    He would subsequently earn the right to face Lesnar at SummerSlam after winning a Battle Royal on this past week’s episode of Monday Night RAW.

  • Seth Rollins Addresses Critics Of His Relationship With Becky Lynch

    Seth Rollins Addresses Critics Of His Relationship With Becky Lynch

    Seth Rollins has addressed the critics of his relationship with RAW Women’s Champion, Becky Lynch.

    Speaking with Tampa Bay Times, Rollins discussed his relationship with “The Man” and how their relationship has impacted them.

    “It’s great. We spend all of our time together anyway. So might as well add the on-screen stuff to it as well,” Rollins said.

    He admitted to learning a lot from her in-ring and promo ability, adding that “Just from a performer’s perspective, I get a lot out being near her on-screen and off-screen I get a lot as well, so it works out in both places.”

    When it comes to the critics, however, Rollins states that they may simply “be a little jealous.”

    “I think that’s where a lot of that stems from,” he said. “I mean, if I’m a dude and I’m watching television, and I have a crush on Becky Lynch, I’m probably not going to be too fond of the guy who’s dating her either, so I get that. We have such great chemistry; I think it’s funny that people think we don’t. Either way, it amuses me.”

    Becky Lynch recently trolled fans after seeing criticism, suggesting that she and Rollins have no chemistry together.

  • Becky Lynch Helps Seth Rollins After Extreme Rules Goes Off Air (Video)

    Becky Lynch Helps Seth Rollins After Extreme Rules Goes Off Air (Video)

    Seth Rollins went through a gruesome Extreme Rules match at the PPV of the same name where he and Becky Lynch defended their Universal Championship and Raw Women’s Championship respectively.

    The duo fought hard against the team of Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans who took the champions and real-life couple to their limit in the main event of the WWE PPV.

    Though at the culmination of the bout, Corbin delivered an End Of Days to Becky which caused Rollins to lose control and after some brutal chair shots and two Curb Stomps, Seth was able to retain his title by pinning the former Raw GM.

    However, this wasn’t the end of the night and things didn’t go Rollins’ way after this as Mr. Money In The Bank Brock Lesnar made his way to the ring after the bout was over.

    Brock cashed in his contract on Rollins and after two German Suplexes and an F5, the Beast was able to defeat the Architect and reclaim the championship he lost at WrestleMania earlier this year.

    After the show went off air, WWE posted the following video where Becky Lynch is seen helping the now former Universal Champion as both the stars make their way to the backstage area:

    There is no word yet on what the company is planning for Rollins after this and we would have to see if he goes after Lesnar or continues his rivalry with Baron Corbin after the show.

  • Brock Lesnar Wins Universal Title At WWE Extreme Rules

    Brock Lesnar Wins Universal Title At WWE Extreme Rules

    Brock Lesnar is the new WWE Universal Champion.

    WWE RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch and Universal Champion Seth Rollins beat Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans to retain their respective titles in a Mixed Tag Team Winners Take All Extreme Rules Match at Extreme Rules. This was a blowoff match between all four stars after months of them feuding with each other.

    Post-match, Brock Lesnar walks out to the ring and hit german suplexes to Rollins a few times. Lesnar cashed in his Money in the Bank contract and hit an F5 to Rollins for the win. This closed the show.

    This match was set up at the Stomping Grounds pay-per-view event where Rollins retained the title over Corbin with Lacey Evans being the special guest referee. The finish of the match saw Evans attack Rollins which led to Lynch making the save and Rollins getting a fair referee to get the pinfall victory. Earlier in the night, Lynch retained her RAW Women’s Title over Evans. 

    Lesnar won the Money in the Bank contract back in May and after teasing it a few times, had not been seen on WWE programming since June. Paul Heyman had been teasing Lesnar might cash it in and that’s exactly what happened.

    Becky Lynch On Dusty Rhodes’ Last Words To Her

    Becky Lynch has talked openly about Dusty Rhodes’ contribution in her career and how it was Rhodes who saved her from getting released from NXT when she was on the verge of getting fired.

    During her recent interview with Fair Game, the Raw Women’s Champion talked about a number of things and she also revealed what were Dusty’s last words to her.

    Per Lynch, she was driving Dusty mad by boring him with her talk and Rhodes’ last words to her were ‘shut up, Becky’, which according to the former NXT Star, were perfect last words from the wrestling legend:

    “His last words to me, I was probably driving him mad by talking his ear off, and he goes, ‘Shut up Becky’, I was like, ‘That’s the perfect last words’. There’s no better last words that I’d like to have from Dusty Rhodes.”

    Elsewhere in the interview, the current Champion also claimed that if she got the chance she would have cried and thanked Dusty Rhodes because she doesn’t know if she would have a job if it wasn’t for him.

    Becky Lynch is currently scheduled to team up with the Universal Champion Seth Rollins to face the team of Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans at Sunday’s Extreme Rules PPV.

    Becky Lynch Explains Her ‘The Man’ Moniker

    As we noted before, Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch recently became the first WWE Superstar to be featured on the cover of ESPN Magazine’s Blockbuster issue.

    To promote the cover, the current Champion spoke to ESPN recently where she discussed a number of things including her recent push and more.

    During the interview, the former NXT Star was asked to define her moniker of being ‘The Man’ and she explained that for her it’s the person who is at the top with the most extraordinary abilities:

    “For me, the top person, the person of the most extraordinary ability, has always been referred to as “The Man.” And until this moment, that person of exceptional ability has always been a man, so when I broke out and started claiming my status as the top dog in WWE, I started referring to myself as ‘The Man.’”

    Continuing on the topic, Becky discussed people’s initial reaction to this catchphrase saying that they lost their mind and she sees it as an empowering thing because she is turning gender roles on their head.

    Apart from this, Becky Lynch also tried to explain her experience of being in the ring and she described it as being addictive. You can check out her full interview at this link.

  • Becky Lynch On Why She Does Not Like Watching Her Own Matches

    Becky Lynch On Why She Does Not Like Watching Her Own Matches

    The current RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch is no stranger to creating controversy and making bold statements. Lynch was recently a part of an interview for Fox Sports 1’s Fair Game with Kristine Leahy where she revealed why she has a tough time watching her own matches.

    Becky Lynch revealed that she doesn’t like re-watching her matches. The Man gave quite an interesting response when asked why that is. Lynch stated that she has a hard time watching her own matches because she judges her performance ‘in the moment’ based on the reactions of the crowd.

    Continuing, the RAW Women’s Champion stated that she realizes that something needs to be corrected by her if the crowd doesn’t respond to the match the way she wanted them to. Lynch explained that she prefers to leave her matches in the past and doesn’t like to dwell on them too much. Instead, she focuses on her upcoming bouts.

    Becky Lynch will be teaming up with her real-life boyfriend Seth Rollins against Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans at Extreme Rules. Let’s hope the match goes smoothly and the crowd responds exactly as The Man would want.

    “The Man” will grace the cover of the new issue of ESPN the Magazine’s “Blockbuster” issue. She is joined by star of the Netflix series, GLOW, Alison Brie. The issue will be available for purchase from this Friday.

    As reported by WWE.com, the new issue “focuses on the intersection between Hollywood and sports.”

    It will feature an interview with Lynch and Brie—whose Netflix show revolves around the 1980s Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling promotion. The interview apparently broaches the obstacles they have faced in their respective industries, the resilience and toughness of women, and much more.

    Becky Lynch will be the first WWE Superstar to ever appear on the cover of ESPN the Magazine.

    Making History

    Becky Lynch made history earlier this year, participating in the main event of WrestleMania 35. She joined “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair in a Triple Threat match—the first time WrestleMania has been headlined by women.

    Lynch would emerge victorious, pinning Rousey and claiming both RAW and SmackDown Women’s Championships.

    She is scheduled for action this Sunday at WWE’s Extreme Rules pay-per-view. Lynch will tag with real-life boyfriend, Seth Rollins in a mixed tag team match against Lacey Evans and Baron Corbin.

  • Becky Lynch On Ronda Rousey: “She’s Been Hiding From Me”

    Becky Lynch On Ronda Rousey: “She’s Been Hiding From Me”

    WWE RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch recently did an interview with Kristine Leahy for FS1’s “Fair Game” where she spoke about a wide range of topics.

    During the interview, she talked about her feud with former RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey and why it’s not over just yet.

    “She’s been hiding from me. That’s where Ronnie goes. She hides when she loses. We’ll see if she comes back. I still want that one-on-one match. That’s what Ronnie does. The way to beat Ronda isn’t to beat her body. It’s to beat her mind. That’s what I went after.”

    The full interview will air on Monday night but you can watch the clip where Lynch talked about Rousey here: 

    Lynch made history when she dethroned Rousey and Charlotte Flair as RAW and SmackDown Women’s Champions in a triple threat match at WWE WrestleMania 35, which ended up serving as the main event. 

    This was a notable match for two seasons. First, it marked history as it was the first time that women have headlined the biggest event of the year for the company.

    The other notable reason is due to it marking Rousey’s latest match as she took time off after WrestleMania.

    Becky Lynch Trolls Fans After Criticism Of No Chemistry With Seth Rollins

    WWE RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch had some fun with fans after receiving some criticism.

    It all started when she saw the negativity from some people about how it seems like there is no chemistry between herself and boyfriend WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins. You can see how the two top champions on the RAW roster responded here: 

    https://twitter.com/BeckyLynchWWE/status/1146850638296506368

    The company started bringing up their real-life relationship on television a few months ago that led to them being involved in storylines. The two stars have been dating since earlier this year. 

    WWE has already confirmed that Lynch and Rollins against Zelina Vega and Andrade in a Mixed Tag Team Match would take place on Monday’s episode of RAW in Newark, NY at the Prudential Arena. 

    WWE presents the Extreme Rules pay-per-view event on Sunday, July 14th, 2019 in Philadelphia, PA at the Wells Fargo Center. At this show, Rollins and Lynch will defend their titles in a Winners Take All Mixed Tag Team Match against Lacey Evans and Baron Corbin.

    This match was booked due to how the main event played out at the Stomping Grounds pay-per-view event.

    Becky Lynch Celebrates 5 Year Anniversary with WWE

    ‘The Man’ Becky Lynch posted to Twitter to commemorate the 5th anniversary of her WWE debut. The Raw Women’s Champion thanked her supporters and stated how fun it was to watch her haters’ head explode.

    Lynch wrote, “It’s been 5 years since I debuted. 5 years of looking for ways to break through and not asking permission. For those who’ve supported me, thank you. For the others, it’s been fun to watch your heads exploding”

    https://twitter.com/BeckyLynchWWE/status/1144186340935794688

    Becky Lynch signed a contract with WWE in 2013, where she worked at NXT. She made her main roster debut in July 2015, and went on to become the inaugural SmackDown Women’s Champion at Backlash 2016, and went on to hold the titles two more times.

    After sitting on the sidelines for most of 2017, Lynch developed a more aggressive persona starting at SummerSlam 2018, where she would attack Charlotte Flair after their match with Carmella. She dubbed herself “The Man” and lobbied for herself to get a chance as she thought of herself as an unfairly-treaten underdog. This would mark a turning point for Lynch’s career, as she would gain immense popularity and support from fans.

    Lynch would ride on the momentum and win the 2019 Women’s Royal Rumble match, and would go on to headline WrestleMania for the first time, by winning both the Raw Women’s Championship and SmackDown Women’s Championship in a Winner takes all match against Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair. This would make her a double champion and the only woman to do so.

    With Lacey Evans as the special guest referee, it looked as though the deck was stacked against Universal champion Seth Rollins at Stomping Grounds. Evans showed a clear bias toward Baron Corbin during the match but it was the low-blow she delivered to Rollins which led to RAW women’s champion Becky Lynch making the save.

    Lynch then took to Twitter after the event to explain what led to her taking out special guest referee Lacey Evans at Stomping Grounds:

    Lacey Evans also went on Twitter last night after the PPV. She had the following to say regarding giving Rollins a low-blow.

    Becky Lynch RAW Women’s Championship Reigns

    After winning the RAW women’s championship from Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania, Lynch has successfully defended the title on WWE programming twice. She also won the Smackdown women’s championship at Wrestlemania. Lynch would drop that title to Charlotte Flair at Money in the Bank, however. Lynch has defeated Lacey Evans twice now in RAW title matches. She defeated her at Money in the Bank and now at Stomping Grounds.

    Before tonight’s RAW in Everett, Washington, Lynch will be doing a public signing at a Crickett Wireless store:

  • Becky Lynch Retains RAW Women’s Title At WWE Stomping Grounds

    Becky Lynch Retains RAW Women’s Title At WWE Stomping Grounds

    Becky Lynch has another title defense under her belt as she continues her dominance in the WWE women’s division.

    As seen at Sunday’s (June 23, 2019) WWE Stomping Grounds pay-per-view event in Tacoma, WA, Lynch retained the WWE RAW Women’s Title over Lacey Evans.

    With Evans still being green and there being plenty of talent in the women’s division on RAW, it appears that WWE will move forward with a different feud.

    However, it’s clear that WWE officials are high on Evans as she was fast-tracked to the main roster after being in WWE’s developmental system, NXT, for a short period of time.

    It would also make sense due to the fact that this is their second encounter for the RAW Women’s Title on a pay-per-view event. At the Money In The Bank show in Hartford, CT in May, Lynch also beat Evans.

    She snapped Ronda Rousey’s winning streak as she beat the former champion and Charlotte Flair in a triple threat match at WWE WrestleMania 35, which ended up serving as the main event to win the RAW and SmackDown Women’s Title.

    What are your thoughts on Lynch retaining the RAW Women’s title? Was this the right call by WWE officials? Sound off in the comment section.

  • Becky Lynch Reflects On Having To “Beg” For A Match At The NXT Performance Center

    Becky Lynch Reflects On Having To “Beg” For A Match At The NXT Performance Center

    It’s hard to believe now, but there was a time when Becky Lynch allegedly had to beg to be put into matchup.

    Speaking with Brian Koppleman on his podcast, The Moment, Lynch reflected on her time training at WWE’s Performance Center. She was a part of the first training class and, at the time, remembers having no confidence to help her stand out.

    “I had to beg to be put in a match,” Lynch admitted. “When I went down there, I had no confidence. I humbled myself almost to a fault. Sara Del Ray was the trainer, and I had wrestled her in Japan, and I didn’t want her thinking I was full of myself or better than anybody. I mind f****d myself. I couldn’t even lock up.””

    “NXT wasn’t what it is now,” Lynch continued. “You were constantly scared of losing your job. Everyone was a minute away from being fired. One wrong move, one wrong promo, one wrong thing said, everyone was walking on eggshells. Which isn’t a bad thing, but I was losing sleep because I wanted it so bad. There were girls that had never wrestled before getting on the shows before me. I remember going into Bill DeMott and begging him, please let me just prove I can connect to the audience.”

    Becky Lynch would manage to persevere despite her self-doubts, eventually making history by main eventing WrestleMania alongside Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey. Lynch would win both the RAW and SmackDown Women’s Championships, earning herself the short-lived moniker Becky 2 Belts.

    Conor McGregor’s Coach Says Becky Lynch Could Fight At High Level

    If WWE RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch wanted to make the transition from the pro wrestling world to being a pro-MMA fighter then she would have a big supporter behind her.

    Lynch has trained in the past with Conor McGregor’s coach John Kavanagh when she has time off from the brutal WWE schedule and travels home to Ireland.

    The coach of the former UFC Lightweight and Featherweight Champion believes that if Lynch did get into the MMA game then she has the potential to compete at a high level.

    He elaborated on his mindset while doing a recent interview with ESPN’s Ariel Helwani on Monday afternoon while talking about a wide range of topics.

    While Kavanagh doesn’t think that she would leave WWE to fight, he thinks if “she were to say to me tomorrow, ‘You know what, I want to give MMA a go,’ give me a year and I’d have her fighting at a high level. No doubt. She has an engine and she’s tough as hell.”

    He would later add that she can take the big hits because of her mental and physical toughness. ”She would do very well.”

    While doing an interview with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated where she talked about a wide range of topics, Lynch revealed how she is already consumed with the idea of being in the main event of WrestleMania 36.

    For the top female talent on Monday Night RAW, she wants to headline this event but without Ronda Rousey.

    “I want to headline WrestleMania without Ronda Rousey,” said Lynch. “That drives me. I’ve main-evented WrestleMania, now I know what it feels like. For me, anything less than a WrestleMania main event is going to feel like a failure. So I’ve been thinking a lot about who my next opponent will be at WrestleMania 36.”

    Lynch made history when she dethroned Rousey and Charlotte Flair as RAW and SmackDown Women’s Champions in a triple threat match at WWE WrestleMania 35, which ended up serving as the main event.

    On Monday’s episode of RAW, former WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair battled Lacey Evans in a singles match. The contest ended when Lynch interfered and caused a disqualification.

    WWE has yet to announce her opponent at this show but based on her feuding with Evans and Flair, that could be an indication as to what’s in store for her at this event. The only match announced thus far for Stomping Grounds is Roman Reigns vs. Drew McIntyre in a singles match.

    Karl Anderson offered some comedy to his Twitter followers on Tuesday when he asked if there is a brand split. This appears to mock WWE for introducing the Wild Card Rule that sees some RAW and SmackDown stars appear on both brands.

    WWE RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch made an interesting comment through the power of social media.

    It all started when she was promoting her appearance for a signing in San Antonio Texas. It was announced that she decided to be at the signing for an extra hour and a half.

    This was when she took a shot at WWE for the length of their pay-per-view events by stating that the 6-hour length of her appearance is a short pay-per-view by WWE standards. You can see her tweet here:

    Since the launch of WWE’s streaming service, WWE Network, the length of these pay-per-view events have been extended. The big four shows – Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, Survivor Series, and SummerSlam – can last anywhere from four to six hours long. While their B-list shows are four hours long.

    The company does this to tout during their quarterly revenue conference calls with their investors about how many hours of content that fans watch on the WWE Network.

    Becky Lynch Moved To Raw Roster

    The Money In The Bank PPV saw Becky Lynch losing the SmackDown Women’s Championship which eventually ended up in the hands of the winner of the female Money In The Bank, Bayley.

    While the Man still appeared on the SmackDown episode following the show and teamed up with Bayley for a match, it appears that this could be her final appearance for the Blue Brand in a while.

    While she was previously listed as a part of both the rosters, Becky Lynch has now been moved to the Raw roster on WWE.com and it seems that the Raw Women’s Champion will be exclusive to the red branded show moving forward.

    A Look At 24/7 Title

    Mick Foley introduced the 24/7 title on this week’s episode of Raw and while the design of the belt was criticized by the fans, so far they have been liking the concept.

    Titus O’Neil was the Inaugural champion and after spending some time in Bobby Roode’s hands, the title has found its way around R Truth’s waist. Truth has since been winning the hearts of fans with his segments featuring the title.

    WWE recently published a new WWE Now video and in the post as seen below, Cathy Kelly takes a look at the title’s inception and the people who have held it till now:
