Over the past year, Becky Lynch’s WWE career has skyrocketed. Lynch went from competing in the Kickoff show of last year’s WrestleMania to winning the main event of this year’s WrestleMania event. It has not been a smooth ride for Lynch though, and fans will get to know all about her during an upcoming WWE documentary. WWE has announced that a new WWE 24 documentary based on “The Man” will be coming to the WWE Network very soon. The special will be airing immediately after Money in the Bank goes off the air next Sunday night. The documentary will feature Lynch discussing her early days of wrestling in Ireland, her signing with WWE, and of course, her journey towards becoming the Raw and SmackDown Women’s Champion that she is today.
Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson have had a bit of a rocky run on WWE’s main roster ever since they were called up from NXT in 2017. After requesting their releases from WWE earlier this year, WWE gave them a quick run with the Raw Tag Team Championships, as well as new multi-year WWE contract offers worth $500,000 per year. The company has since begun to humiliate the two of them on Raw every week and their contracts have been extended. While speaking with The Sun, both members of The Revival discussed their time in WWE so far. Dawson suggested that their debut on Raw the night after WrestleMania 33 may have boosted their egos, but the two of them also argued that a ton of main roster WWE Superstars are not as good as they are in the ring.
“When we came in and beat The New Day, with that kind of reaction, maybe that boosted out ego a little too much. It was like someone said, ‘Settle down, let’s put that chip back on your shoulder.” Dawson said.
A match was supposed to take place over in the Japanese promotion Stardom this month between Toni Storm and Bea Priestley. According to the promotion, that match has just been cancelled. The alleged reason why the match has been cancelled is because WWE did not want one of their performers competing against a member of the All Elite Wrestling roster. Priestly signed with AEW a couple of weeks ago, and Storm currently wrestles for WWE on the NXT UK brand and she is also the reigning NXT UK Women’s Champion. The Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer said that Storm was set to lose against Priestley, which may have further encouraged WWE to pull some strings and get the match taken off of the card.
For the upcoming Korakuen Hall show on May 16, the previously announced match between Toni Storm and Bea Priestley will not take place due to circumstances beyond our control. Thank you for undestanding.
