Becky Lynch opens RAW.
She says the time for joking is over because she finally knows who her WrestleMania opponent is the cagefighter, Shayna Baszler. She shows video footage of Baszler absolutely dominating in the Elimination Chamber and a fallout promo from last night. Becky talks about how Shayna took out Asuka, a woman that she personally spent years getting over, and puts over her accolades in both MMA and pro wrestling.
She calls Baszler a world-class scumbag and a black hole of charisma, and says that she might be a bitch, but she’s a bitch that runs this division. She talks about Shayna refusing to shake her hand last year and that she sees clearly now that she’s the biggest threat to come her way since she pried the title out of Ronda Rousey’s broken hand last year.
But Baszler’s not just here for a fight or for the title, she’s been hiding in the shadows for years waiting to rewrite history, because people like Lynch don’t beat world class killers like her, but she’s got news for her. She thinks Shayna has been underestimating her, and she’s gonna smash her face in for it.
