Wrestling veteran questions recent WWE angle featuring Nia Jax and Becky Lynch
The Man won the Elimination Chamber match in Perth, Australia, thus earning an opportunity to challenge Rhea Ripley for her title at The Show of Shows.
Surprisingly, Nia Jax, the woman Rhea Ripley recently defeated at the premium live event, beat Becky Lynch on RAW: DAY 1 in a highly anticipated match. It was the only match between the two superstars.
On an episode of Sportskeeda's Writing with Russo before the Elimination Chamber, Vince Russo spoke about Lynch potentially facing Ripley at 'Mania'. The former WWE head writer believed it was hard for anybody to get excited about a match between the two superstars, considering The Man had already lost to Nia Jax:
"The last freaking match Becky Lynch match she got squashed by Nia Jax. So now she's wrestling Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania? I'm supposed to be excited about that? You got killed by Nia Jax. Not her, but I mean that's the booking. You lost to Nia and I'm supposed to get excited about her wrestling Rhea Ripley?"
Becky Lynch and Rhea Ripley have faced each other in a singles match only once. The bout took place in NXT in 2019 and ended in a DQ. The WWE Universe will hope for a decisive finish when the two lock horns again on The Grandest Stage of Them All.
