• Vince McMahon Impressed By SmackDown Star’s Work
According to WrestlingNewsCo, Vince McMahon has been impressed by SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch’s work with Charlotte Flair as of late.
Vince reportedly used her as an example for someone who ‘took the ball and ran with it’. Also, a wrestler was recently told backstage to study Becky’s promos and matches to get better.
WWE Hall of Famer Sgt. Slaughter also praised Becky Lynch recently and compared her to “Rowdy” Roddy Piper:
