Becky Lynch Slaps CM Punk Multiple Times On WWE Raw, Shuts Down “AJ Lee” Chants
CM Punk was looking for a fight on WWE Raw, waiting for Seth Rollins to show his face so he could exact revenge for what happened at WWE Clash in Paris, but got Becky Lynch instead.
After waiting by the car entrance, Punk was informed that Rollins and Becky Lynch had entered the building through a different entrance. Punk went to the ring to call out Rollins, but was greeted by Becky.
The crowd chanted for “AJ Lee,” and Becky responded by saying they were chanting for a dope who doesn’t work there anymore.
Punk said he didn’t want to do this with Becky, but Becky responded by saying that he was going to listen to her. Becky said that she had to listen to Punk disparage her husband, who was everything that Punk wasn’t.

Becky said that Punk leaving affected her and her matches because the crowd would chant his name to let her know that they didn’t care about her. “You’re not the voice of the voiceless, you’re the poster child for apathy.” Becky said that she got herself to the main event of WrestleMania, just like she and her husband got the business to where it is today.
The crowd chanted for her to “Shut the fuck up,” but Becky continued on, saying they were in the middle of a revolution. Becky said that Punk needs to get out of the way because he doesn’t fit the vision, wishing him well in his future endeavors.
The crowd again chanted for “AJ Lee,” and Becky again reminded them, “She doesn’t work here.”
Punk said that he’s the Best in the World and crowds in every town chant his name. Punk said that Seth and Becky weren’t in those towns, and that Seth hides behind The Vision and is now hiding behind Becky. Punk stated, “You’re The Man, but you have bad taste and you married a bum.” He said that the beef with him and Rollins will never be over.

Seth came out, stood at the top of the entrance way, and said he’s been looking for Punk before inviting Punk to say whatever he has to say to his face. As Punk tried to leave, Becky stood in his way.
When Punk moved past Becky, Rollins left. When Punk turned back around, Becky slapped him multiple times, daring Punk to hit her.
Punk said that he was going to make Rollins regret cashing in on him and he was going to make Becky regret touching him. Becky said she already regretted it, and wished him well as he left the ringside area.
"You're gonna regret putting your hands on me."@BeckyLynchWWE might have just pushed @CMPunk to his breaking point… 😲 pic.twitter.com/nkSyItp656

Becky helped Seth retain the WWE World Heavyweight Title at WWE Clash in Paris, lowblowing Punk as he went for the GTS. Seth followed up with a stomp onto a chair, pinning Punk in a four-way bout that also included LA Knight and Jey Uso.
