We’ve never seen Becky Lynch like this in WWE — and it will make her replacing Bayley worth it

We have seen Becky Lynch as a heel before, but what we got Monday on “Raw” was so much different.

This wasn’t the beginning of The Man as she turned on Charlotte Flair after SummerSlam 2018. Nor was this Big Time Becks after she turned on Bianca Belair at SummerSlam 2021. 

This was The Man scorned, The Man with an edge and a mean streak coming after Intercontinental champion and former friend Lyra Valkyria.

This wasn’t Lynch playing a caricature of a heel as she did as Big Time Becks. This was her naturally and gleefully embodying it.
