WWE Rumors: 3 More Legends To Give Becky Lynch Additional Hype On Raw?
On tonight’s episode of WWE Raw, Becky Lynch will likely confront both Charlotte and Ric Flair, but there’s reason to believe that more legends could be on-screen, giving Becky a chance to absorb even more hype on the road to WrestleMania.
Thanks to Vince McMahon’s suspension of Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair vs. Ronda Rousey is penciled in as the official WrestleMania 35 main event. Of course, the WWE Universe knows that Becky will find her way into the match after winning the Royal Rumble, but it’s just a question of how.
Tonight in Atlanta, a city rich in professional wrestling history, Ric Flair will make a highly-anticipated on-screen appearance for his birthday celebration. Though Becky is a member of the SmackDown Live roster, she’s appeared on Raw just about every week since winning the Women’s Rumble, eviscerating Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey on the mic, slapping down Stephanie McMahon, and causing mayhem on the show she originally took over before Survivor Series.
But in addition to the “Nature Boy”, a few other legends could appear on Raw tonight. Wrestling Inc.’s Raj Giri reports that Shawn Michaels and Sting are both backstage in Atlanta, and Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat is also “expected” to be on Raw tonight, per Giri’s report.
This would be another huge moment for Becky, who has been WWE’s biggest star since last fall. Michaels, Sting, and Steamboat are three of wrestling’s best babyfaces, and Becky used to be compared to Sting as a face when so many of her friends ended up letting her down or betraying her.
But ever since SummerSlam 2018, Becky has taken matters into her own hands, and it will surely lead to her winning the Raw Women’s Championship in April from the undefeated (in singles competition…remember Sasha Banks and Bayley beat her and Natalya in a tag match before the Rumble) Rousey.
Whether it’s new merchandise, beating up the McMahons, or showing up John Cena, Becky Lynch has been positioned as WWE’s biggest star time after time. Getting the rub from Flair, Michaels, Sting, and Steamboat in one awesome segment could be yet another legendary moment in Becky’s ground-breaking run to the top, so it will be exciting to see if any one of these three Hall of Famers appears with Ric Flair on-screen.
In addition to all that, Becky one-upping Charlotte, who has been operating at her best in terms of character work since Vince’s controversial announcement, seems like an inevitability on tonight’s Raw.
