Becky Lynch Agrees To Defend WWE Women’s Intercontinental Title Against Nikki Bella At WWE Clash In Paris

Becky Lynch has agreed to defend her WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship against Nikki Bella at WWE Clash in Paris.
Becky began by saying that Birmingham was a special place because it was where she had her WWE tryout. “It was a dump then and it’s a dump now.”
Becky said she’s not some loser who will be called out, prompting Nikki to cut her off.
“Becky, if you’re not a dog then why are you acting like a little bitch?” asked Nikki. Nikki then questioned why Becky won’t face her for the title.
“I’m not giving away opportunities, especially to Broke Neck Barbie,” said Becky.
Nikki reminded Becky that she was the who carved the path in WWE. Becky said she never wanted to respect her, she wanted to replace her. Nikki said that Becky was Charlotte Flair’s sidekick. Becky said she is no sidekick. Nikki questioned if Becky had balls and then called her a coward.
Becky said Nikki could have her match at WWE Clash in Paris. Becky then referenced Ozzy Osbourne’s death, saying he was the only good thing to come out of Birmingham and he had the sense to move to Los Angeles.
Becky tried to cheapshot, but Nikki countered and went for the Rack Attack 2.0. Becky escaped, living to fight in Paris.
THE MAN IS NOT A COWARD! 😤
