Becky Lynch, gearing up for her title match against Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania XL, is looking back at a pivotal moment in her career.
Lynch wants to address a questionable booking decision made during the Vince McMahon era, specifically her clash with Shayna Baszler on the Road to WrestleMania 36.
In her autobiography, Lynch revealed her desire to put Baszler over in their match, recognizing the perfect timing to pass the belt. However, WWE didn’t approve of the idea, and Lynch ended up defeating Baszler at WrestleMania 36, later handing the title to Asuka.
Now, four years later, with Vince McMahon no longer in the picture, Lynch believes it’s time to rectify the mistake.
She plans to have a conversation with Triple H, WWE’s Head of Creative, expressing that the strongly booked Shayna Baszler lost momentum after their ‘Mania clash.
As Lynch gears up for WrestleMania XL against Rhea Ripley, she aims to correct the past and advocate for a Baszler resurgence.
Lynch wants Triple H to acknowledge the error made during McMahon’s regime and consider a full-fledged feud post-WrestleMania XL where Baszler can go over and regain the momentum she lost four years ago.
The aftermath of Lynch’s win in 2020 saw Baszler lose her unstoppable force persona, and she has yet to capture a singles title on the main roster. Lynch, recognizing the potential in Baszler, seeks to right the wrong and elevate her opponent’s status in the current WWE landscape.
