Becky Lynch reveals she was supposed to face Bayley at Wrestlemania 37
During an interview with Alex McCarthy of talkSPORT, Lynch revealed that WWE originally planned for her to return at Wrestlemania and face Bayley.
She confirmed that the match was in the works. Unfortunately, things obviously didn’t go as planned. The match had to be nixed and replaced with Bayley appearing in various segments with Hall of Famers and the hosts, Titus O’Neil and Hulk Hogan instead before getting her comeuppance at the hands of the Bella Twins.
Lynch also revealed that her comeback was then set to take place in October likely after the WWE Draft. However, WWE called her the week of SummerSlam and that’s how she eventually made her WWE return at the biggest party of the summer.
Alex McCarthy wrote a brief summary of his chat with Lynch.
“Becky Lynch just told me she was originally good to go for WrestleMania and it was discussed she’d face Bayley. That didn’t happen (obviously) and then she was meant to return in October before WWE called her the week of SummerSlam. Pretty upset didn’t get Lynch v Bayley.”
Lynch is set to defend her title against Belair at Sunday’s WWE Extreme Rules pay-per-view.
