    Becky Lynch Opens Up On Comparisons To CM Punk & Steve Austin

    WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch appeared on the Gorilla Position podcast to talk about various topics including comparisons to CM Punk and Stone Cold Steve Austin due to her recent heel turn.

    Lynch stated that’s cool and quite an honor because they are arguably the greatest superstars that we have ever had. She brought up how she has picked Stone Cold’s brain and he has been very good at giving advice because he’s real and that’s what made him so good. “Most people can relate to this Becky Lynch character because I have absolutely no natural talent but I am a really hard worker.” She didn’t comment on Punk.

    Lynch and WWE RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey are on a collision course. The WWE has already announced that they would take part in a champion vs. champion match at the upcoming Survivor Series pay-per-view event.

    When asked about her recent run as champion, she stated that it’s been a good time as she has been able to take that ball and run with it and prove what you have always known that you could do and you wanted to do.

    She puts going into Evolution as champion in a high regard because once being moved to SmackDown Live, she wanted to be the best in the business. “I wanted to be the first Smackdown Women’s Champion and when I lost it, it was a struggle to get back to the top”

  • Becky Lynch Thinks Ronda Rousey Should Be Scared Of Her

    Becky Lynch Thinks Ronda Rousey Should Be Scared Of Her

    Current WWE SmackDown Champion, Becky Lynch, is slated to face off against RAW Women’s Champion, Ronda Rousey, next Sunday at Survivor Series, and it’s anyone’s guess as to who has the advantage.

    With Becky Lynch having staved off Charlotte Flair’s attempts at her title, and Ronda having successfully retained against Nikki Bella, both women come into this matchup with serious momentum.

    This equal footing adds further interest for their inevitable RAW vs SmackDown clash, come November 18th.

    “Ronda Has To Be Scared”

    Speaking with Gorilla Position, Lynch addressed her upcoming champion-versus-champion confrontation against the former UFC Bantamweight Champion.

    The Lass Kicker didn’t mince her words, stating that Ronda should, of all things, be scared.

    Lynch, who maintained character for the entire interview, proclaimed that, “[Ronda Rousey] is based on being strong, dominating people, and running through them, and that’s not how I was built.”

    “I’m not scared of losing,” she continued, “and I have been taking a beating my entire life and I came back from them time, after time again, and that’s why Ronda has to be scared.”

    What are your thoughts on this? With such a high profile clash between both champions, should Ronda be intimidated? Who do you see winning this encounter?

    Becky Lynch Brings Up Rousey Rousey’s Husband While Hyping Survivor Series Match

    WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch and WWE RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey are on a collision course. The WWE has already announced that they would take part in a champion vs. champion match at the upcoming Survivor Series pay-per-view event.

    These top female stars in WWE today will get a chance to prove which is the more dominant champion of the company. With a week away from one of the big four events of the year for the WWE, the hype and promotion for this match have only gained traction. Partly due to the job that Lynch and Rousey have been doing on social media, which outside of television, is the driving point for hyping up such a battle between two champions.

    Lynch and Rousey have done just that as they have been exchanging words through the power of Twitter since this champion vs. champion showdown was announced.

    At one point, Lynch brought up Ronda’s husband, former UFC fighter Travis Browne, who hasn’t been used on WWE programming other than being seen at ringside for her matches inside of the squared circle. Lynch wrote, “Hey @travisbrowneMMA come get your wife, she’s drunk.” You can see their exchange here:

    WWE Smackdown Live Preview (11/6)

    WWE is back in Manchester tonight for Smackdown, 205 Live, and the Mixed Match Challenge. Only Smackdown will air today, however. No matches have been confirmed as of this writing, but several segments have been.

    Shane McMahon and Paige Respond to Survivor Series Match-Ups

    Last night on Raw, Constable Corbin announced that he would captain the Raw team at Survivor Series. Corbin won’t compete in the match but he did add Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, and Braun Strowman to the team. Tonight, expect Shane McMahon and Paige to likely announce a few participants for the Smackdown team.

    Becky Lynch’s Message To Ronda Rousey

    Ronda Rousey cut a promo on Becky Lynch last night on Raw. In two weeks, Lynch and Rousey will go one-on-one in a match which could easily (and arguably should) close the show even with Brock Lesnar vs AJ Styles on the card.

    Becky Lynch will offer up her rebuttal to Rousey’s promo tonight.

    Shane McMahon’s WWE World Cup Victory And Team Smackdown At Survivor Series

    So, Shane McMahon is the best in the world. McMahon replaced the Miz in the finals of the WWE World Cup at Crown Jewel. He had also said if anyone from Smackdown loses in the finals they would be fired. Perhaps that means the Miz will be fired but that’s only speculation.

    Tonight, Shane will let the WWE Universe know more about how his win in the World Cup will impact Smackdown moving forward.

    AJ Styles Reacts To Rematch With Brock Lesnar

    AJ Styles will face Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series in two weeks. It’s a rematch from last year when Styles won the title just days before the event. In fact, Styles defeated Jinder Mahal in Manchester (tonight’s host) for the title around this time last year.

    Tonight, Styles will have a message for the man who re-gained the Universal Championship at Crown Jewel.

  • Jim Ross Speaks On Becky Lynch As A Heel, The Future Of The Elite

    Jim Ross Speaks On Becky Lynch As A Heel, The Future Of The Elite

    Jim Ross speaks on Becky Lynch as a heel, the Evolution pay-per-view, and the future of The Elite in the latest edition of The Jim Ross Report.

    Ross recorded this week’s episode from aboard the Rock N’ Wrestling Rager At Sea ship, while stationed in The Bahamas. While his internet connection was unreliable during Sunday’s Evolution show, Ross likes what he saw from Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch.

    Evolution, Becky Lynch As A Heel

    “It was amazing what they did,” Ross said. “They didn’t close the show, but they could have. The issue is, WWE likes to close the show with a happy ending.”

    “Becky is allegedly being positioned as a villain,” Ross explained. “Which I don’t agree with. It’s not working in that respect.”

    Ross feels that Lynch’s current storyline has done wonders for her career.

    “I love the fact that she’s developing as a star. If you want her to be a babyface, she’s a babyface. I think that’s what she is. Your paying customer, your greatest research material, tells me that,” Ross said. “The fans cheer her. They’re buying her merch.”

    While he advocated for Flair and Lynch to close Evolution, Ross said he understands why Ronda Rousey and Nikki Bella went on last.

    “Rousey’s the top female in the company… She’s the biggest attraction in the company, of any gender, perhaps. You can make an argument of that,” Ross said.

    The Future Of The Elite

    The Elite and their future after January has been one of the hottest topics in the wrestling world this year. Good Ol’ JR gives his take on what comes next.

    “They’re all doing a lot of good work in New Japan. They’re doing well. The company is successful, which is great,” Ross said.

    “But all those guys are desirable dudes. And they’re all getting ready to have contracts come up. It’s interesting.”

    JR delves deeper into this subject, interviews Diamond Dallas Page, Ricky Steamboat, and Hurricane Helms, all on the Jim Ross Report.

  • Becky Lynch Talks Crowd Reaction and When WWE Officials Took Notice

    Becky Lynch Talks Crowd Reaction and When WWE Officials Took Notice

    Becky Lynch has become one of the biggest fan favourite performers in the WWE this year. This, despite WWE’s seemingly asinine attempts to position her as a ‘heel’ character have actually propelled her to the top of the card.

    Lynch recently spoke to Sam Roberts and had some interesting comments on her fan reaction. Lynch said “I will say that I think around Money in the Bank was when it kind of came to light and people were behind me and people have really supported me along the way. There was a time when I was down and wasn’t really doing anything. I was doing interviews at WrestleMania, so 2017 wasn’t really my best year.” Lynch followed this stating her plans going forward; “I am trying to change that now. I think that at Money in the Bank 2018 people were caring and people really wanted me to win Money in the Bank. When I climbed that ladder, they were heavily cheering me and it was noticed [by WWE officials].”

    Cheered as a Heel

    Roberts asked Becky if she was surprised by the crowd reaction given her booking as a heel character. Becky replied by saying “I don’t know how surprising that is to me because, like I said, anybody can identify with that story. Anybody can identify with the story of feeling overlooked and feeling frustrated after doing the right thing for three-and-a-half years and not going anywhere with it.” Lynch elaborated by saying that “you finally realize, you know what I am tired of this crap, I am going to do what it takes because I have been cheated out of championships and cheated out of opportunities because there were lines I wasn’t willing to cross, but now it doesn’t matter. I am willing to cross any line to take what I want.”

    Becky Lynch Takes Shots At Alexa Bliss On Twitter

    Smackdown Women’s Champion, Becky Lynch, has arguably the biggest match of her life coming up. At Survivor Series 2018, Lynch will go one-on-one with Ronda Rousey. She spent some time on Twitter recently taking a shot at one of Rousey’s former rivals, Alexa Bliss, however.

    Bliss posted a note on Twitter regarding her cosplay hobby which got Lynch’s attention:

    Lynch then took the opportunity to comment on Bliss’ recent injury woes:

    https://twitter.com/BeckyLynchWWE/status/1057467336125493248

    Bliss then said Lynch will join her on the injured list after Survivor Series when she faces Ronda Rousey.

    https://twitter.com/beckylynchwwe/status/1057485889604120576?s=21

    Becky Lynch vs Alexa Bliss

    In the early days of this brand-extension back in 2016, Lynch and Bliss faced each other often on Smackdown. From August 9th, 2016 to February 21st, 2017 they met each other 10x in single’s action. They haven’t faced each other in a single’s match since. Lynch leads the series 6-4. Bliss won the Smackdown Women’s Championship twice from Lynch while Lynch successfully defended the title against her once.

    They have been in 3 multi-person matches together. Lynch won 6-Pack Challenge for the inaugural title in a match which also involved Bliss at Backlash 2016. Bliss won the 2018 Money in the Bank match which also involved Lynch. The other multi-person match they were both in was another 6-Pack Challenge at WrestleMania 33 which was won by Naomi.

  • WWE Nixes Big Ronda Rousey-Becky Lynch Angle?

    WWE Nixes Big Ronda Rousey-Becky Lynch Angle?

    Both SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch and Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey were successful in defending their championships at the Evolution PPV.

    After the show WWE announced that these two will now face each other at the upcoming Survivor Series PPV and posted a confrontation video too, but it appears that they originally had a different plan for the angle.

    After last night’s Evolution PPV concluded, WWE.com published an article announcing their upcoming match. Interestingly, this press release mentioned a physical altercation between the two, that never took place:

    “However, the Rowdy titleholder’s celebration was short-lived; just moments after she and Becky stood triumphantly side-by-side along with the rest of the female Superstars in the culmination of the monumental event, The Irish Lass Kicker unleashed a vicious assault on her fellow champion backstage.”

    It’s unclear whether this altercation was expected to happen during the closing segment of Evolution where all women came up on the stage or during the after show interview where Becky confronted the former UFC Star:

    Though this article makes it seem like the altercation was nixed at the last minute. Since we know Vince McMahon was running the show from gorrilla position, it’s possible that he made the decision on the fly.

    Becky Lynch will now face Ronda Rousey in a one on one match at the upcoming Survivor Series PPV on November 18th.

    As seen on this week’s episode of Monday Night RAW in Charlotte, NC at the Spectrum Center on the USA Network, WWE revealed that SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch would take on RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey in a champion vs. champion match at this event.

On the flip side, Lynch retained her SmackDown Women’s Title against Charlotte Flair in a Last Woman Standing match, which served as the co-headliner.

    WWE presents the Survivor Series pay-per-view event on Sunday, November 18, 2018 in Los Angeles, California at the Staples Center that will air on the WWE Network. WWE will be announcing more matches for this show in the coming weeks.

    Becky Lynch Takes Shot At Ronda Rousey’s Evolution Performance

    Becky Lynch retained the Smackdown Women’s Championship last night at Evolution. She defeated Charlotte Flair in a Last Woman Standing match. Ronda Rousey’s victory over Nikki Bella for the Raw Women’s Championship closed the show, however. This morning, Lynch took a shot at Ronda “following” her performance later on Twitter.

    https://twitter.com/BeckyLynchWWE/status/1056890653374853120

    Becky Lynch vs Ronda Rousey?

    If Survivor Series this year follows the same pattern as in previous years, the Raw Women’s Champion would face the Smackdown Women’s Champion on the show. There has been some speculation that this is not what will happen this year, however, at least for the women’s champions, anyway. If this is the case though, it means Becky Lynch would face Ronda Rousey at Survivor Series. Last year, Charlotte Flair defeated Alexa Bliss in the Raw vs Smackdown Women’s Champion vs Champion match.

    Lynch told media this summer that she feels her armbar is actually better than Ronda’s.

    “Here’s why. Her’s is of course — have you been in a straight armbar before? Very painful. Very painful, it will snap your arm,” Lynch said to In This Corner. “But from my location, I can snap your arm, and choke you out with my leg at the same time. It’s a double whammy.”

    Becky Lynch Wants Rousey Feud, Reveals Desired WWE Intergender Match Opponent

    Tomorrow night (Sun. October 28, 2018) SmackDown Live Women’s Champion Becky Lynch will defend her title against Charlotte Flair. The two bitter rivals will go head-to-head in a Last Woman Standing match for the strap. Ahead of their contest, Lynch participated in an “Ask Me Anything” on Reddit.

    Despite currently being in a feud with Flair, Lynch was asked about a possible program with current RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey. Lynch likes the idea of getting the chance to punch “The Rowdy One” in the jaw:

    “Ronda’s jaw is always running but my fist is itching to catch up with her. Charlotte first, and then I’ll plan my next move. But I’ve said it before: Ronda reminds me of a slot machine — the harder you kick her, the more money falls out.”

    Lynch was then asked about a possible intergender match in WWE. The trend has been very popular in the indy professional wrestling community as of late. While it’s highly unlikely WWE picks up on it, Lynch knows who she’d like to share the ring with if given the opportunity:

    “Seth Rollins.”

    What do you think about Lynch wanting a feud with Rousey, and a match with Rollins?

  • Bully Ray Pitches Great Idea for The Finish of Becky-Charlotte At Evolution

    Bully Ray Pitches Great Idea for The Finish of Becky-Charlotte At Evolution

    This Sunday at WWE Evolution, Becky Lynch puts the SmackDown Women’s Championship on the line against Charlotte Flair in a Last Woman Standing match. Their feud has been one of the highlights of WWE television over the past several weeks and Lynch is starting to come into her own as a heel character. Fans are beginning to accept Becky as a villain, but she’s been an underdog fan favorite for so long that getting people to boo her has not been an easy task.

    During an episode of Busted Open Radio this week, co-host Bully Ray pitched a pretty clever idea about how WWE should book the finish of this match. He suggests that WWE should utilize Ric Flair in a way that would all-but-guarantee a negative reaction for the Irish Superstar.

    “So, remember last week how we were talking about how can you possibly get heat on Becky Lynch?” Bully Ray posed. “We were saying you have to do something drastic, and probably the only person you can utilize in this whole situation would be a feeble Ric Flair.”

    “Alright, so what if at Evolution, in the ‘Last Woman Standing’ match, something really, really bad happened to Charlotte at the end of the match. Let’s just say … and I know this is not going to happen … let’s just say Charlotte was bleeding. Let’s just say Charlotte was busted open. Let’s just say Charlotte was in a really bad predicament, and [Ric] Flair came out … ‘Naitch came out because he was really concerned about his daughter. He didn’t put his hands on her, he didn’t try to help her up, he didn’t get involved in the match in any way, shape or form.”

    Bully Ray continued, “But as he’s walking over to his daughter, he were to trip and fall and take a bump. Then we saw him clutching or hurting or something happened. What if Becky Lynch were to take a chair and stand over Ric Flair, threatening to cave his head in unless Charlotte stayed down for the ten count. How would you feel about that?”

    Threatening physical harm against Ric Flair (who is shielding his daughter from harm) would be a despicable move by the champion. Even Becky Lynch fans would question if she’s going too far to score a victory. Sounds like great storytelling to us.

    Becky ‘Balboa’ appeared on Busted Open earlier today (Friday). We will have a report up soon.

    Catch Busted Open on SiriusXM satellite radio weekday mornings from 9am-12pm EST on channel Rush 93.

  • Latest On WWE Introducing Women’s Tag Team Championships

    Latest On WWE Introducing Women’s Tag Team Championships

    WWE Evolution is this weekend, and with it comes speculation about the long-rumored WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships. Becky Lynch, Naomi, and Sasha Banks are among the women who have discussed the possibility of adding tag titles to the women’s division of late.

    In her interview with Maria Menounos this week, Banks again spoke on the issue. “We have so many great teams right now. We have the IIconics, Mickie and Fox, Absolution. We have tag matches on Raw every single week. So why not make the titles or belts to defend them?”

    The timing of Sasha’s remarks (and other factors cited below) indicate that we might be on the verge of another historic moment for WWE’s female competitors.

    Do The Belts Exist?

    There has been speculation for months about the addition of tag titles. A reliable source, famed wrestling title belt collector and custom belt maker BeltFanDan, stated that the belts representing the championships were manufactured and ready to go as far back as July.

    Dan also stated that the belts would be defended across both Raw and Smackdown brands.

    Although the belts were not introduced when Dan had originally claimed, he is well-connected and has a proven track record of accurate reporting on championship belts.

    That “Leaked Evolution Booking Sheet”

    While its authenticity is still in question, the “leaked WWE Evolution booking sheet” that was circulating online a few months ago featured the announcement of WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships.

    More Breadcrumbs

    Longtime wrestling podcaster The Solomonster (Jason Solomon) retweeted a fan who was present at the Smackdown tapings this week, where it appeared that WWE was passing out these signs to fans. That would certainly suggest that the plans for the titles are already in place, and that the announcement is imminent.

  • Becky Lynch Reveals Advice Received From Shawn Michaels

    Becky Lynch Reveals Advice Received From Shawn Michaels

    Becky Lynch has been on fire the past several months. Following her losing effort for the SmackDown Live Women’s Title at SummerSlam, WWE decided to attempt to turn Lynch heel. She attacked Charlotte Flair after she won their SmackDown Live Women’s Title bout. Despite attacking Flair, the WWE Universe has actually begun cheering Lynch, and booing “The Queen.”

    “The Irish Lass Kicker” won the SDL Women’s Title at the Hell In A Cell pay-per-view (PPV), and has continued her feud with Flair on SmackDown Live. It’s currently one of the hottest feuds on WWE TV right now. Not to mention Lynch’s popularity has really risen. It turns out, she received a key piece of advice from WWE Hall Of Famer Shawn Michaels. This came after they worked together on the film “The Marine 6: Close Quarters.”

    Lynch told TV Insider things weren’t going great for her before she left to film “The Marine.” Michales offered her the following words of advice:

    “Things weren’t going as well as they are now before I left to shoot. I remember him giving me advice saying, ‘When you go back, go in as a different person. Hold your head a little bit higher.

    “Have that attitude that you’re a top star. Go with it. I think this is what I’ve been trying to do since I came back.”

    Becky Lynch On If She Is Concerned By Fans Cheering Her

    SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch recently took part in a Q&A session with Baltimore Sun to promote this Sunday’s historic Evolution PPV where she talked about a number of things.

    Becky first talked about her recent heel turn at the SummerSlam PPV and when asked how the moment was for her, the Champion said that it was incredible to know that the people felt her frustration.

    Continuing on the topic, she was asked about all the heelish things she has done since then and if it’s concerning to her that she hasn’t been able to get booed by the fans to which Lynch said that it doesn’t concern her:

    “It’s not concerning. They’re reacting and they’re entertained. They’re enjoying the feud. It’s just a matter of what side that they’re on. Some people are on my side and some people are on Charlotte’s side.

    I do see it on my Twitter feed and Instagram, that I’m getting a lot more hate as it goes on. But it’s OK, I’m going after what I want. The people that are behind me, they’ll stay behind me. The people that aren’t, well that’s fine. I’ll just go ahead and succeed in spite of them.”

    Apart from this, Becky Lynch also talked about possibly competing against the Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey at Survivor Series saying that she would love to.

    Becky is currently scheduled to defend her Championship against Charlotte Flair in the first ever Last Women Standing match at the upcoming Evolution PPV this Sunday.

    The biggest heel of the 2nd Mae Young Classic, Rhea Ripley, was not too impressed with Charlotte’s trip to the Performance Center. The woman who is now on her way to the semi-finals of the MYC due to Tegan Nox’s injury, posted the following in regards to Flair’s visit to the PC.

    Becky Lynch Discusses Fan Reactions To Her Feud With Charlotte Flair, Evolution Event

    Becky Lynch spoke to the Baltimore Sun to talk about a wide range of topics including her feud with Charlotte Flair over the SmackDown Women’s Title. This feud all started once Lynch turned on Flair after their triple threat match that also involved Carmella at the SummerSlam pay-per-view event.

    Lynch believes that the fans are entertained by it and that it depends on which star they are on the side off. Lynch brought up getting more negative messages from fans on social media as a result of it but that’s okay with her as that is what she was going after.

    “The people that are behind me, they’ll stay behind me. The people that aren’t, well that’s fine. I’ll just go ahead and succeed in spite of them.”

    Lynch will make her next title defense against Flair in a Last Woman Standing match at the Evolution pay-per-view event that takes place on Sunday, October 28, 2018 in Long Island, New York at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on the WWE Network.

    When asked about the show, she stated that it’s amazing as it’s what she envisioned when she came over to WWE and wanted the women to be the coolest thing on TV.

    “Through everybody’s hard work, past present and future with NXT and the Mae Young Classic, this has been deserved. It’s something that I think the fans are going to really enjoy. They’re going to really enjoy it a whole lot more if the SmackDown women’s champ is main eventing it and walks out with the title.”

    Rey Mysterio Advertised To Wrestle Twice At SmackDown 1000, Peyton Royce Reflects On Her Long Journey

    – A return to WWE has been rumored for Rey Mysterio since he was a surprise entrant in the 2018 Men’s Royal Rumble Match in January and it will finally happen next week.

    WWE announced this week that Mysterio will square off with United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura in a WWE World Cup Qualifying Match on next Tuesday’s historic 1000th episode of SmackDown LIVE in Washington D.C. Mysterio is advertised to wrestle twice on the show as WWE revealed tonight in an email to those in the D.C. area that he will also compete in a tag team match.

    In updated advertising for the event, Mysterio is slated to team with WWE Champion AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan against Randy Orton, The Miz, and Nakamura. A match pitting Styles and Bryan against Samoa Joe and Miz was previously advertised.

    WWE also noted in the email that Flair will go one-on-one with SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch (after previously advertising Flair, Asuka, and Naomi vs. Lynch and The IIconics). This is presumably a dark match since they’re scheduled to face off at Evolution in a Last Woman Standing Match.

    – After wrestling at WWE Super Show-Down last Saturday in her home country of Australia, Peyton Royce reflected on her long journey from the independents.

    Becky Lynch survived two title matches with Charlotte Flair this last week. She’ll have to defend her title against Flair yet again at Evolution, however, this time in a Last Woman Standing match.

    Lynch recently revealed she’s been working injured lately as well. She revealed on Twitter recently that she has a cracked jaw.

    Becky Lynch in 2018

    Becky Lynch has become one of the most talked about Superstars on the WWE roster as of late. While her rivalry with Charlotte Flair hasn’t always gone the way some fans have wanted it to, it’s hard to argue that Lynch is more popular now than she’s ever been.

    Unlike many others from her NXT class, Lynch was not a blue-chip prospect when she signed with WWE in 2013. Lynch was already 11 years into her pro-career by that point and had even quit the business once already. Her NXT career didn’t get off to a hot start either. She was given an Irish dancing gimmick which thankfully was abandoned not long after it began. In the following years, however, Lynch would be a key figure in the development of NXT’s women’s division and the subsequent Women’s Revolution/Evolution.
