Becky Lynch Explains Reason for Joining The Vision

Monday’s WWE RAW show also featured Becky Lynch explaining her reasons for joining The Vision.

During the show, CM Punk was seen backstage at a door waiting for Seth Rollins to show up due to him having unfinished business with him.

In a follow-up segment, Punk was seen chatting with Rhea Ripley backstage only to be interrupted by RAW GM Adam Pearce who stated that Rollins arrived to the venue and is inside. This led to Punk responding saying he was going to do something about this.

In another follow-up segment, Punk came out to the ring and stated that he’s waited for Rollins long enough and he is hijacking the show until Rollins comes down to face him like a man. This led to Rollins’ music playing but Lynch coming out instead.

After some some banter between the two, Punk attempted to leave only to be stopped by Lynch who says he will stay and listen to what she has to say. Lynch talked about how she has had to listen to Punk tell lies about her husband and proceeds to praise Rollins. After some more words, Lynch stated that when he walked out, the people chanted Punk’s name to let her know they didn’t care about her and the hard work she was putting in. Lynch tells Punk that he’s not the “Voice of the Voiceless”, he’s the poster child for apathy. After some words boasting about herself and Rollins, Lynch stated that she is the greatest female talent according to Sports Illustrated and Punk needs to get out of their way.

This led to an “AJ Lee” chant by the crowd and Lynch responding saying she doesn’t work here.

Lynch stated that Punk doesn’t fit The Vision. After some words, Punk talked about how the only thing Rollins runs from is adversity when its coming for him. Punk says Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, and now his wife. Punk then stated that she she’s much more than somebody’s wife, she’s a supremely talented person. Punk stated that Lynch just has bad taste and married a bum and wants her to know that Rollins is a paper champion. Punk stated that this will never be over between them.

This led to Rollins’ music playing again and this time Rollins coming out to the stage. Rollins proceeded to mock Punk and stated that if he has something to say to his World Heavyweight Champion, he can come up here and say it to his face. This led to Punk trying to get to Rollins only for Lynch to block him and stand in his way. Punk eventually managed to get around Lynch and looked on as Rollins walked away.

This led to Punk turning around and getting multiple slaps in the face by Lynch who continued taunting and daring him to do something. Lynch then told Punk that he’s pathetic. Punk responded stating that he will make Seth Rollins regret ever cashing in on him. Punk then stated that she’ll regret putting her hands on him. Lynch responded saying she already does and stated she has Punk’s stinky sweat all over her. Lynch continued to insult Punk as Punk angrily left the ring and made his way to the back. Lynch told Punk that he’s pathetic and will never be a champion.
