Becky Lynch responded to the RAW Women’s Champion “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey’s latest vlog detailing her trip to RAW in Boston, slamming Rousey and SmackDown Charlotte Flair in calling them “two planks of wood.”
There’s no doubt Rousey’s work on the mic has come under criticism and perhaps Lynch’s comments equate to calling Rousey and Flair wooden performers. Lynch went on to assert the only reason the women will main event WrestleMania is because The Man and her wave of popularity with the fans. Here’s the tweet:
It’s very simple Ronnie:you and Charlotte were the chosen pair since the day you signed.But when it came to it, you two planks of wood couldn’t even manage a Survivor Series main event—nevermind WrestleMania. There’s only one thing changed everything: me. https://t.co/RHFfx2Rlu6

It’s safe to say WWE received massive criticism from the WWE Universe on social media in its decision to have Flair defeat Asuka for the SmackDown Women’s Championship on Tuesday. Speculation abounds for the reasons, but one theory is that WWE wanted to further fuel fan perception that Lynch is slighted and Flair favored as the corporate champion. Under the current scenario, Flair becomes a two-brand champion with a victory, while Lynch would win only one belt with a win.
