Becky Lynch Promo

Brooklyn, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, Brooklyn. Yeah, I’ve had some of the biggest moments of my life here. It was three years ago when my career skyrocketed and I was standing right here and I slapped Charlotte Flair across the face. And now, what you saw last night at Survivor Series, that was the culmination of almost a decade of love and hate and friendship and betrayal. And I came out here and I wanted to hurt her. I wanted to injure her. I wanted to embarrass her. I wanted to maim her. And she wanted to do the same to me. But you people loved every second of it, didn’t you. Yeah, you loved every second of it. You didn’t care who walked out of here a winner. You didn’t care if either of us walked out of here at all. But of course I won. Of course I proved I was the best. That was never really a question. Certainly not to me, anyway. But now that’s done, that’s done. We’re over that. We’re turning the page to something fresh and new because you love something fresh and new, don’t you? Yeah, you love something fresh and new. So who fresh and new would you like to see on top?

Rhea Ripley? Maybe we want to see Bianca BelAir back on top. How about my new number one contender, Liv Morgan? Yeah, yeah. It’s so funny, I used to put so much stock in your opinion until I realized you’re so full of crap. No, no, no, no, don’t do that, don’t do that. You say you want something fresh and new, but I watched ten women last night break their backs, trying to prove themselves to you and what did you do? You did your stupid little chants and you did your stupid little wave and you sang your stupid little songs, didn’t you? Yeah, you did. But, hey, look, this hurts me to say this, but I actually agree with you. Because none of those ten so-called superstars have what it takes to beat me, least of all Liv Morgan. You like her now because she’s the underdog. You like her now because she won, what, one match in your fears? And you’re all going to bitch and moan when she doesn’t beat me, because she won’t beat me. And I hate to break it to you, Brooklyn. Not every underdog has its day. And I have a death grip on this title and I don’t give a damn whether you like it or not. Nobody is getting this title off of Big Time Becks.
