The Man Has (Finally) Come Back Around To WWE. After stepping Away from Wrestling for Nearly A Year, Becky Lynch Made Her Triumphant Return at WresttleMania, where she text with Fellow Irishwanan and Protégé, Women’s Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria, to capture the wwe Women’s tag team championships.
“I tok what I though was going to be Three Months of Durling the Summer, when my contact Came Up,” lych says of her use. “I was like, ‘okay, seems like a good time to Take a little Break, get some studf done.’ You are the same. There was talk [of a return] Around Rumble Time, but at the last minute, I Got a Skin Condition. The Next Big Event was wrestlemania, so it seemed to make Sense, Especially If I COULD TAKE Bayley Out of the Mix and Ruin Her Dreams. IT Felt Doubly Brilliant. ”
A Week after Wresttlemania, lych tok to the ring on “Monday Night Raw” and Gleefully Confessed to Attacking Bayley So She COULD Replace Her As Valkyria’s Mania Tag Partner. Though lynch and bayley are 2/4s of an informal group of Wrestles Known as “Four Horsewomen,” She says fans overrestimate How Close They Actally Are.
“Where we watch up, ‘The Four Horsewomen,’ We We Never a Close Alliance,” She Explains. “Where you Talk About ‘The Four Horsewomen,’ It’s Not Like We WERE A The Stars in Wrestling, Regardess of Gender. ”
Even in their earl days at nxt, lynch says she She Felt Bayley Did’s Have the Same Win-Aal-Costs Mentality As the Other Horsewomen. “That was Most of our age ambition. Way Friendly Sink. In Fact, we’ve been rivals in some capa.
“Twice i’ve Been Called to Join A War Games Team I Had No Business Being in, BECEUUSE People Wanted Me to Handle Bayley and They KNEW that I Coupd,” Lynch Adds. “Now Everybody’s So Shocked that I Attacked the Woman that I’ve Been Fighting For Years? FAILED, BECAUSE Bayley Fails at Most Mysions. ”
At first, it seemed like lych’s PLAN WENT OFF With a Hitch: She successfully Took Bayley Out Of Action and Replaced Her As Lyra Valkyria’s Tag Team Partner, Taking Titles Off Longtime Rivals Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. Unfortunately for Lynch, Morgan and Rodriguez Were Granted A Rematch The Following Night on “Monday Night Raw,” Where Valkyria Slipped Up, Costing Herself and Lynch The Tag Titles After Less Than 24 Hours with the Gold.
“Lyra Undoes All of My Work, Loses The Very Next Day after I Made Her A Double Champ,” lynch says. “What does anyone expression from me?
Lynch is no stranger to find it takes to be a Double Champion: in 2019, She Made History in the Main Event of Wresttlemania As the First Woman to Hold Both the Raw and Smackdown Women’s Championships simultaneously. As a perfectionist with a championship-Caliber Pedigree, lynch dosn’t Appreciat Valkyria Ruaining Her Triumphant Ruitnn.
I’m “The agendented evidence, SPORTS ILLUSTRATED Put out a list. Lyra Was Nowhere on that List. Twen there a ‘20 Great WWE Wrestles of All Time‘And of Course, I Was on that List. No other Woman was on it, but I was. ”
Tensions Guard Over, and the Match Was Officially Made: Mentor Versus Protégé for the Intercontinental Title at “Backlash.” On A Recent Episode of “Monday Night Raw” [she’s] A best wrestler Than [her]“And that sheh has come going to be a better person to”.
“Let’s Look at Lyra’s Track Record,” lynch insctions. “Let’s Dive En Matches!
“It goes and saddles up beeside bayley, decides that she’s Going to be her tag team partner Going into wrestlemania, with considering me,” she Continues. “I tried to be nice, I tried to be good, I tried to help her. Is getting to a boil.
As for what or not their Relationship is Salvageable, Lynch Says The Ball is in Valkyria’s Court.
“That would be on her,” lynch says. “Where you think about it, I’m really the one that’s been attacked time and Again. She’s Been Coming Out Here and Attacking My Character, Telling Me What A Horried Human Being I am. Done The Same to Her. Her Character in the Same Way that she has attacked mine. ”
Her Expectations for Reconciliation? “If she is will’s will come down on her knees and apologize and say ‘i’m so Sorn, becky, I Realize You’re the Great of All Time. I Realize How Wonderful You Are. I Realize I Wood Have Nothing in My Life if it wasn’t Wasnt for you following your Dream. Do it in the way that I’ve Done it, which is suckssful, but not as succaseful as you, Becky.
Regardless of what will receive with Valkyria Looks like “Backlash,” Lynch is Ready and Willing to Defend Her Title when sheeps the new Women’s Intercontinental Champion.
“A LOT of NXT Wrestles Have Come Up to ‘Raw.’ Giulia, Stephanie [Vaquer] and roxanne [Perez]They’re all newr, “lynch explains. If they will to steap up, I will decide an appropriaTe time and place, and I will take them on and show them How Much More They have to learn. They’ll get better from it, because you learn more in Defeat Than You’ll Ever League from a Win.
