Vince McMahon and Becky Lynch recently clashed on WWE television. Vince removed Becky from the Wrestlemania 35 main event, replacing her with Charlotte Flair.
Vince also suspended Becky for 60 days for her actions over the past few weeks on RAW and Smackdown.
We have the latest rumor to pass your way on how Vince views Becky Lynch.
It appears as if Vince is all-in on Becky and her current storyline. According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio (subscribe here), Vince was “insistent” about Becky winning the Royal Rumble match, even if the storyline after it made no sense. Here is a quote (via Ringside News):
“Vince was insistent, absolutely insistent that Becky Lynch had to win the Royal Rumble even though in that sense they had to do a storyline that then negated it even though she’s gonna get back in later. But the whole thing was that he was so insistent that the story made no sense because he was so insistent that she had to win. You know what? He was probably right in the sense that it was probably the right thing to do.”
It is also speculated that based on the on-screen booking, Becky appears to be Vince’s new “chosen one”.
My Take: There is no doubt in my mind that Vince is all-in on Becky. Vince keeps tossing obstacles in her way prior to Wrestlemania, which will only make it sweeter when she overcomes them all and wins the RAW Women’s Championship. I am excited to watch this storyline develop and I think it will end up doing wonders for ‘The Man’.
