Vince McMahon Pulls Suspended Becky Lynch From WWE WrestleMania 35 Match With Ronda Rousey
Vince McMahon appeared at the end of tonight's WWE RAW to announce that Charlotte Flair will now face RAW Women's Champion Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania 35, pulling Becky Lynch from the match.
The storyline from Vince is that Becky is being suspended for 60 days, due to her bad attitude and how she thinks she's bigger than WWE, which will put her out of action almost a week after WrestleMania ends. Vince told Becky that he's The Man, not her, and then he introduced her replacement – Flair.
It's been rumored that Flair would be added to the Lynch vs. Rousey match at WrestleMania to make it a Triple Threat. There's no word yet on if this is a part of that plan or if Lynch is really being pulled from the match for some reason. Tonight's RAW saw Triple H confirm Lynch vs. Rousey after Becky apologized for recently laying her hands on Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. Triple H confirmed the match but Vince came out right after that, setting up the power struggle angle.
Below are a few shots from tonight's closing RAW segment:
