“You’re the reason why my friends are gone,” Raw Superstar shockingly blames Becky Lynch for WWE releases

Raw Women's Champion

Becky Lynch is one of the biggest WWE Superstars on the roster today. She has dominated the roster for quite some time now, and currently holds the Raw Women’s Championship. The on-screen “Man” is an equally amazing Superstar in real life too. In early 2020, Lynch went on a maternity break.

She gave birth to her and Seth Rollins’ daughter, Roux, towards the end of 2020. The Man worked hard and was back in action in less than a year. She made a shocking return at WWE Summerslam 2021 and immediately challenged Bianca Belair for the Smackdown Women’s Championship. If her return wasn’t shocking enough, she went on to defeat the EST of WWE within 26 seconds to win the title.

After exchanging her Blue brand title with Charlotte Flair, for the Raw Women’s Championship, Becky Lynch is currently feuding against Liv Morgan on the Red brand. On the latest episode of Raw, Morgan and Becky Lynch appeared in a contract signing segment for their title match next week. Neither of the Superstars held themselves back and made some shocking claims. They went as far as acknowledging the WWE releases!

“You’re the reason why your friend is gone just like the reason why your big, fat greedy contract is the reason why MY friends are gone. How does it feel knowing you become everything you despised?” – mentioned Liv Morgan, blaming Lynch’s heavy paycheck for the WWE releases. The “my friends” refer to Morgan’s former Tag Team partners Sarah Logan and Ruby Riott, who were released from the company.

Interestingly, Lynch’s paycheck is no match for some of her male counterparts, she is still amongst the highest paid female Superstars on the WWE roster. Reportedly, Becky Lynch earns a basic salary of $250,000 annually. She also earns additional pay for her merchandise sales and PPV appearances. On the other hand, it is rumored that WWE has been releasing Superstars to bring down their expenses and increase profitability, before being sold off.

Becky Lynch will defend her title against Liv Morgan on Raw

Lynch and Morgan in a Tag Team match

The latest episode of the Red brand featured a contract signing segment between The Man and Morgan. They will be colliding, with the Raw Women’s Championship on the line, on next week’s episode of the Red brand. This week too, they battled in a 10-woman Tag Team match. Team Becks included – Carmella, Queen Zelina, Tamina and Doudrop. Whereas Team Liv featured Bianca Belair, Dana Brooke, Rhea Ripley and Nikki A.S.H.

Team Liv emerged victorious with Morgan pinning Tamina. It is highly unlikely that this feud will conclude on Raw, and we might see a rematch at WWE Day 1, the upcoming PPV. So far only one match is announced for the card. The PPV airs live on 1st January, 2022.
