Women’s Intercontinental Champion AJ Lee and Becky Lynch could have rehashed their comments to at least one one other on the March 23 edition of “Raw,” the episode where their WrestleMania 42 match was made official, however it felt surprisingly refreshing after we didn’t see either woman last week. With the way in which WWE has been booking the identical things over and all over again on this “Road to WrestleMania,” like pull apart brawls, and the identical promos again and again, this felt someway different.
Possibly it’s because they were put face-to-face in a prerecorded backstage segment, and it was shot and edited well. And, at slightly below three minutes, it didn’t overstay its welcome. I still really like Lynch talking all about Lee’s last WrestleMania. Different from the last time she brought up one in every of Lee’s final moments in WWE in her first run nevertheless, was Lynch talking about seeing Lee backstage at ‘Mania, and the way fake she thought Lee was. Lynch said that Lee quit WWE because she knew Lynch was the longer term, her “alternative,” and he or she was scared. She reiterated that WrestleMania is her “home,” and I just still really like hearing the juxtaposition of Lynch’s ‘Mania moments against Lee’s.
The champion said much of the identical, as well, but this time, she said she was pleased with Lynch, which was latest. Though, after all she quickly brought it back to Lynch not having the ability to make history unless she shattered the glass ceilings first. And naturally, she couldn’t end without mentioning she was “your favorite wrestler’s favorite wrestler,” in addition to Lynch’s daughter’s favorite.
I feel it felt different without the gang noise and such, and it was a small, but nice, and to me at the least, noticeable, change-up. WWE did well by letting this feud breathe for per week, as much as I’m sure everyone in attendance at Madison Square Garden desired to see each women.
With just yet another episode of “Raw” to go between now and WrestleMania, there is no doubt that Lee and Lynch could have a pull-apart brawl next week, but we’ve not seen that from them, at the least, with Lynch having run away from Lee before making their WrestleMania match official. With every little thing feeling so very much the identical at best, or completely confusing and randomly booked at worst, this WrestleMania season, these women having a consistent feud, without being too terribly repetitive, is all I can ask for at this point.
