The Man began to change the industry with her fellow Four Horsewomen, Sasha Banks, Charlotte Flair and Bayley. In the case of The Role Model, apparently, things have been not pleasant between herself and Lynch and The Man herself has spoken about the same.
What did Becky Lynch say about her relationship with Bayley?
In a recent appearance on Variety.com, Becky Lynch spoke about her tensions with Bayley.
She recalled that things began to fall apart in 2014 when Lynch beat up the Role Model back in WWE NXT.
In 2019, Bayley attacked Lynch with a steel chair on her back that she said made her very resentful, and they had not been friendly ever since.
She said,
'That was most of our ambition,' Lynch said, referring to the Four Horsewomen's drive to dominate WWE. 'Bayley just wanted to be liked as much as possible. I beat her up in 2014, and people loved it. In 2019, she hit me in the back with a chair, and we have not been in any way friendly since.
In fact, we've been rivals in some capacity.'
The Man got some measure of revenge on Bayley in recent memory. One night before WrestleMania 41 Night 2, Bayley was found attacked in the backstage area. This ruled her out of her scheduled tag team match with Lyra Valkyria against Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship. Becky Lynch stepped in as her replacement, and she and Valkyria won the titles.

However, the duo lost the championships back to Rodriguez and Morgan on the RAW after WrestleMania 41. Lynch betrayed Valkyria and began a feud with her. In doing so, she revealed herself to be Bayley's mystery attacker. Becky Lynch recently failed to win the WWE Women's Intercontinental title from Lyra Valkyria at WWE Backlash. In the case of Bayley, it remains to be seen when she will be cleared to return to the ring and possibly go after The Man.

Goldberg is ready to give one last show to his fans before WWE retirement
Goldberg (Image via WWE) Once one of the biggest in-ring names in the WCW, Goldberg joined WWE a few years into the transition after his contract with AOL Time Warner expired. He then went on a break for a few years before returning to the WWE stage in 2016. But at 58 years of age, he is not what he once was, and it's starting to slow him down a little. This is why he is now getting ready for his last match in the squared circle, preparing for his retirement from WWE. Goldberg talks WWE retirement and the toll it is taking on his body Goldberg wants his retirement match to be a once-in-a-lifetime thing and, thus, is preparing heavily for it. He said that he knows when his last match is going to be, but getting ready for it has not been easy. Heavy training has taken its toll and injuries have been popping up one after the other. Appearing on CarCast , the WWE veteran said that he has injured himself multiple times while getting fight-ready for the finale. "I know the date (of my retirement match). No one else knows the date public-wise… I hurt myself a couple times in the past three months. But I pulled back... I've got a very high bar to set that I set for myself and 99 times out of a hundred, it's unrealistic… I've been in the ring a couple times. I'm gonna get in the ring again today and it's just tough, man. It is tough.' Goldberg said that he knows it is unrealistic, especially at this age, to think that his body can handle the pressure that he is putting it in. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo But at the same time, he wants to do the best he can in what would be his goodbye to something he has loved for so long. There have been some rumors that he could be at the Saturday Night Main Event in Atlanta in July, which could serve as his retirement stage, but it's been speculation as of now. Goldberg is ready to give his all one last time Goldberg is ready to put in his everything, even if it means a couple of injuries on the way. From Muay Thai to some really intense workout sessions, the WWE Hall of Famer is not pulling any stops. He has blown his shoulders and bicep and pulled his hamstring, all while trying to throw a high kick. But none of that is going to stop him. 'I'm not just showing up to show up. I need to show up and be me… That was the first day that I felt really good.' He knows what's at stake, and is not going to let his fans down at any cost, even if it means sporting a couple of injuries and whatnot. Fans will definitely be waiting to learn more about his retirement match, while Goldberg gets ready for one last fight.

Mayor Sadiq Khan calls on WWE to bring WrestleMania to London
Image via WWE London Mayor Sadiq Khan has once again publicly pitched the idea of bringing WWE 's biggest annual event, WrestleMania, to the British capital. In a recent interview during a CNBC panel at SXSW London, Khan made a direct appeal to WWE Chief Content Officer Paul 'Triple H' Levesque, saying, 'Triple H, if you're watching, we want WrestleMania to come to London. ' This isn't the first time Khan has championed the idea. He previously held talks with Levesque and WWE President Nick Khan in July last year. But his latest statement has reignited discussions about whether the spectacle dubbed the 'Super Bowl of Wrestling' could finally move beyond North American shores. London as the ideal WrestleMania destination Khan positioned London as the ideal host, calling it the 'sporting capital of the world.' Backing his claim, he pointed to the city's long-standing history of hosting major global events - from Wimbledon and the Premier League to American football matchups and the 2012 Olympics. 'If WrestleMania came to London, we wouldn't just have a great weekend - we'd have a festival,' he said. 'A celebration featuring WWE legends, current stars, and the next generation of talent.' WWE In London? Triple H and Nick Khan Talk WrestleMania With Sadiq Khan Speculation about London as a potential WrestleMania venue has been ongoing since 2023, when John Cena made a surprise appearance at a WWE event in the city and endorsed the idea. Fans across the UK and Europe have echoed that sentiment, calling for WWE to bring its marquee show to a wider international audience. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Costco Shoppers Say This Wrinkle Cream Is "Actually Worth It" The Skincare Magazine Undo If the move does happen, it would mark the first time in WrestleMania history that the event is held outside North America. WWE's global expansion in full swing The renewed pitch from Khan comes at a time when WWE is rapidly expanding its global footprint. Earlier this year, the company moved its flagship show, Monday Night RAW, to Netflix globally - a major step in reaching new international audiences and strengthening its presence outside the U.S. Recent international premium live events like Clash at the Castle in Cardiff, Elimination Chamber in Perth, and Backlash France have all been received with overwhelming enthusiasm. These successes have shown that WWE can generate sell-out crowds and passionate fan bases far beyond its traditional markets. Khan believes the timing couldn't be better for WWE to take its biggest show to London. 'I think the potential has not been reached,' he said. 'If WrestleMania wants to expand, the obvious place to come is London. We have the infrastructure, the fanbase, and the global spotlight to make it the most successful WrestleMania yet.' As WWE explores new markets and cities, London's persistent bid may be inching closer to reality.

John Cena reacts to Logan Paul's bold tag team name ideas ahead of Money in the Bank
Image via WWE WWE fans are gearing up for an exciting showdown as John Cena and Logan Paul join forces for a high-profile tag team match at the upcoming Money in the Bank event. Scheduled to take place on June 7 at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, this new alliance pits them against the formidable duo of Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso, making it one of the most anticipated bouts of the year. Logan Paul pitches catchy names for new WWE duo While John Cena and Logan Paul are new partners inside the squared circle, their chemistry outside the ring is already capturing attention. Ahead of their first match together, Logan Paul took to his YouTube channel to share some humorous behind-the-scenes moments. One highlight was the duo brainstorming potential names for their tag team. Cena initially joked with a rather outrageous suggestion - "The Human Centipede." However, Logan Paul quickly countered with more creative options. The first was 'Heel Team Six,' a clever nod to SEAL Team Six, the elite U.S. military unit known for high-profile missions. Cena loved the name instantly, saying, "I love that." I Assaulted The WWE Cameraman (RIP Stu) Not stopping there, Paul suggested another name - 'The WWE,' emphasizing their status as the two most relevant superstars in the company. Cena played along, mimicking a ring announcer introducing 'The WWE,' and admitted he didn't hate the idea either. Although no official team name has been announced, fans are buzzing over these fun possibilities. What's next for John Cena and Logan Paul? This pairing is especially significant as John Cena embarks on what many believe to be his final year in WWE. The 17-time World Champion is aiming to leave the wrestling world on top, and teaming with Logan Paul, who recently enjoyed a successful heel run and held the United States Championship, could help him achieve this goal. The tag team match against Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso will be a crucial test of their teamwork and chemistry. Rhodes and Uso have been partners on and off for the past two years and bring valuable experience and skill to the ring. Although Cena and Paul are currently allies, WWE has teased tension between the two on recent SmackDown episodes, hinting at a possible future rivalry. Earlier, rumors circulated about a potential Cena vs. Paul match at WrestleMania 41, but WWE reportedly declined that idea. Meanwhile, WWE fans also watch closely as CM Punk, another top star, plans to cash in his Money in the Bank contract on Cena later this year, adding more drama to Cena's farewell tour. As the countdown to Money in the Bank continues, fans eagerly await to see if Cena and Paul will officially unveil their tag team name and how this unique partnership will unfold inside the ring.
