Follow Us
Becky Lynch is the longest reigning Raw Women's Champion.
Becky Lynch had a memorable Raw Women’s Title run which ended up at Wrestlemania this year by the hands of Bianca Belair. During her reign, he had some exceptionally great matches against Liv Morgan, Charlotte Flair, Bianca Belair and WWE Hall of Famer Lita to name just a few. One of her recent matches that had a great potential to be as good to get mentioned in the above listed category was against Doudrop which came from the Royal Rumble premium-live-event earlier this year.
You would
be wondering why it wasn’t that great. Let’s answer this. The Women’s Royal Rumble match opened this year’s show which was won by the returning Ronda Rousey.
After the match, she celebrated her victory with the fans and she received the usual Pyro-ladded treatment while she pointed out towards the Wrestlemania sign after her huge win. Now, nothing was wrong until this. But during the very next Raw Women’s Championship match scheduled between Becky Lynch and Doudrop, the Wrestlemania sign was suddenly seen caught fire and it started melting off.It obviously got ignited during the pyro-blast for Ronda’s celebration which payed off moments after that.
That created a scene of utmost chaos near the affected area of the stadium. Obviously this took all the fan attention off the match as everyone else was trying to figure out what was actually happening around and that made Becky a bit angry over this mishap.
While speaking to Ariel Helwani about this unfortunate incident, Lynch said she became legitimacy pissed off because of all that. She went on to reveal the entire happenings during the interview-
“Oh, it pi**ed me way off,” said Lynch. “’Cause the attention went with the sign! Yes, of course [she noticed the melting WrestleMania sign]. You’ve got to listen to the audience. You’ve got to know what’s going on. That’s how you become a great performer. So, it was early in the match and I thought it was going great. Then I notice everybody’s attention is just all over the place and people are turning away, and they’re looking up at something.”
One hilariously interesting note that Becky told was that before even noticing that it was the damn Wrestlemania sign that actually caught fire, some fans started shouting “you’re on fire”, this made her thought that they were telling herself that she’s on fire right now doing all the things great and that made her feel absolutely great.
Even though it didn’t took her long to realise what’s exactly going on as she soon found out whom they were referring to be as on fire and then she was like ‘Ah’ ,
“I’m going, ‘What is that? A celebrity over there? What’s going on? What’s everybody looking at?’ I had her [Doudrop] in a hold, and then I heard them going, ‘You’re on fire,’” Lynch recalled. “And I’m like, ‘Well, of course I’m on fire. I’m fantastic.’ Then I noticed a fire extinguisher came out and they started spraying it up, and I was like, ‘Ah. [The WrestleMania sign] is on fire.”
