While anticipation mounts for her clash with Rhea Ripley, there’s speculation brewing within the wrestling community about a potential character shift for Becky Lynch. Former WWE head writer Vince Russo weighed in, suggesting a dramatic twist at WrestleMania XL by turning The Man into a heel.
In an exclusive interview with Wrestling’s Writing With Russo podcast, Russo proposed a scenario where Lynch and Ripley engage in a hard-hitting encounter, only for Lynch to betray Ripley after a show of sportsmanship, thus embracing a heel persona.
“I would keep it real real simple. I would have them have a hell of a match, knock-down-drag-out, and beat the cr*p out of each other, and Rhea Ripley go over and help Becky up, shake Becky’s hand, turn around and let Becky pearl harbor her and just turn Becky heel,”
Vince Russo remarked.
As speculation mounts, fans await with bated breath to see if Becky Lynch maintains her status as a fan favorite or embraces a darker persona at WrestleMania XL.
