Becky Lynch and Sami Zayn share unseen backstage photo after WWE RAW; both pen emotional messages
Monday's WWE RAW was another action-packed show on the road to the inaugural King and Queen of the Ring PLE. Becky Lynch and Sami Zayn shared a backstage photo with emotional messages to the WWE Universe.
The Intercontinental Champion defeated Otis in a non-title match with a Helluva Kick in just over two minutes. Zayn later saved his opponent from bullying by Chad Gable, who caused the loss by berating his partner. Due to IYO SKY and Kairi Sane's interruption, the Women's World Champion defeated Dakota Kai in a 10-minute non-title match via DQ. Lyra Valkyria saved Lynch from Damage CTRL's attack, but Liv Morgan nailed the champion with a sneak attack from behind.
The Man and The Great Liberator posted on Instagram after RAW to share the same backstage photo from the Gorilla Position.
Zayn captioned his upload with a three-word subtle brag after a hectic show.
"We did alright," Sami Zayn wrote with the photo of Becky Lynch.
Lynch then posted the photo on her Instagram account, captioning it with a nod to her fellow redhead.
"Ginger Snaps on top. @samizayn," Becky Lynch wrote with the photo of Sami Zayn.
The Underdog From The Underground and Big Time Becks will compete at the inaugural King and Queen of the Ring PLE later this month. Zayn will defend the Intercontinental Championship in a Triple Threat match against Chad Gable and Bronson Reed, while Lynch will defend the Women's World Championship against Liv Morgan.
