Rhea Ripley got into a public back and forth with a musician, so we’ll see what went
on there.
We’ll also see the latest on Paige’s final pitch to WWE, Becky Lynch update, and more
Let’s start things off with Becky Lynch
Becky’s arc since Wrestlemania has been great and has been what everyone expected
to see
Becky was on top of WWE as champion for basically three straight years, so it was gonna be a
difficult transition for the character no matter what way you looked at it
From three year long champion to back at rock bottom and outside of the title picture scene
It’s basically the first time since 2018 that Becky Lynch isn’t involved in the main
event scene for the women’s division
So after all the years on top, it’s an adjusting period for Becky Lynch
Some champions that lose their title often keep their cool and keep their momentum going
A perfect example of that was the same woman who knocked Becky Lynch off the top, Bianca
Belair
Bianca lost in embarrassing fashion to Becky Lynch at Summerslam 2021 in 26 seconds, but
Bianca didn’t fold and WWE kept her momentum going
Despite being knocked off as champion in under 30 seconds, Bianca constantly stayed towards
the top of title contention all the way until she earned the title match against Becky Lynch
at Wrestlemania 38
Another great example of this sort of individual is Drew McIntyre.
He lost his WWE title a while back, but he truly never lost his momentum and is still
looked at as the biggest threat to Roman’s WWE title in current day
So in a perfect world, Becky Lynch is looking to be in that same class of superstars that
keep their momentum despite losing their titles
And so far it’s been a little bit of a bumpy road for the character
Becky was close to recapturing her Raw women’s title at Hell In A Cell, but Bianca comes
in at the last second and steals the win that Becky would’ve had
Becky had a great facial expression after the match that was the perfect combination
of shock and anger
And that’s what has to be driving her insane as well because she didn’t get pinned at
Hell In A Cell, you can basically say that would’ve won that match if it wasn’t for
what Bianca did in those closing moments
So being so close, yet so far is what’s hurting Becky even more
Then after the Hell In A Cell loss, Becky would show more signs of her desperation by
wanting to challenge for the 24/7 title, and as everyone knows “Becky Lynch” and “24/7
title” should never be in the same sentence, but that’s what happened here
Then the following week WWE announces that they’ll be another 24/7 title rematch Dana
Brooke and Becky Lynch
Thankfully, that match didn’t take place, Becky made it clear that she didn’t have
any desires for the 24/7 title, and talked about the Money In The Bank match instead
She said that she was robbed last time she was in that match and how things weren’t
gonna go down like that this time around
She continues to beat down Dana Brooke until Aus-ka eventually made the save
Alexa Bliss also came out while Becky was heading to the back, Becky just started yelling
and screaming at Alexa Bliss for no apparent reason as well
It’s also important to note that Becky Lynch is one of those premium storytellers, everything
her character does and says is important and does have meaning
So everything we’re seeing right now from Becky’s character is someone that is having
a hard time dealing with and accepting the fact that they’re out of the title picture
It’s borderline driving Becky Lynch to insanity that she’s not involved in the title picture
and is clearly losing her cool
Like Becky alluded to on Raw, it looks like on top of feuding with Aus-ka, her attention
is set on qualifying for the women’s money in the bank match
The Money In The Bank contract is usually a free ticket to a championship title, so
it has Becky’s full attention right now because it’ll bring her back to the place
that she so desperately wants to be at again
Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins have replaced Cody Rhodes on all of the promotional material
for the Money In The Bank event
Some fans are asking if that’s a clue about Becky and Seth being the two winners of the
contract
And although that would be pretty cool, Seth and Becky would go down in history as the
first ever couple to win the Money In The Bank contracts on the same night, it just
doesn’t seem so likely that WWE would spoil the winners on the official poster
So maybe one of them does have a good shot of winning the contract, but as far as them
both winning the contracts… that seems a little more unlikely, but you never know
that’s the latest on Becky Lynch for now, we’ll have to see where this arc takes her,
especially if she’s unsuccessful in the Money In The Bank match as well

So there’s been another small update to the entire situation with Paige and WWE
A lot of fans were curious on why Paige and WWE went their separate ways and why they
couldn’t keep Paige around in a non-wrestling role like they’ve done in the past
Well this was one of the topics that Paige addressed during her entire live-steam about
the whole contract situation
Paige made it clear that it wasn’t her decision to leave WWE, she would’ve loved to sign
a new deal and extension with the company, it was WWE that had no interest in resigning
Paige to a new deal
So once Paige got word that WWE would be offering her a new deal, that’s when she went public
with the new about July 7th being her last day under contract
One of the last pitches Paige ever made to return to WWE television was to be a manager
for Ronda Rousey
Paige would take care of all the talking and promotion for Ronda Rousey and her matches,
while all Ronda would have to do is look dominant in the ring
An act very similar to Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman, something exactly close to what we
saw there, but WWE didn’t wanna go in that direction
So it’s unfortunate that Paige won’t be a part of WWE anymore, but that good part
is that there is no 90 day clause, she can go sign and appear for anyone immediately
after July 7th, so that’s a big positive for her out of the entire situation

Rhea Ripley got into a back-and-forth this week with a music artist that was claiming
WWE and Rhea Ripley copied their look and style
The individual said that since Rhea stole their whole look, WWE might as well just have
Rhea walk out to their music
The most bizarre thing about the entire situation is that the artist wasn’t this massive A-list
celebrity, they’re a smaller artist, so WWE fans came after them for the ridiculous
claim that Rhea Ripley was stealing everything from them
Rhea finally addressed the individual herself in a series of tweets calling the artist out
for just wanting attention and also revealing that she didn’t even know of this artist’s
existence
Rhea then tweeted that she was thinking about doing the same thing, calling out someone
out that has a similar look to her just so she gets more interactions and followers
So it was bit of a reach to say the least from this artist was was claiming Rhea Ripley
and WWE was stealing everything from them
As far as the latest with Rhea Ripley.
The spotlight is fully on her right as she re-enters the title picture to take on Bianca
Belair
Rhea Ripley has been Raw women’s champion before, but this feud will be much different
this time around considering that Rhea is now a heel and has a faction standing behind
her with Finn Balor and Damian Priest
So it’ll be interesting to see how this story continues to unfold and the role that
Finn and Damian could play as well since they don’t have much going on right now
