As WWE WrestleMania 40 draws near, tensions are running high, and former multi-time WWE Women’s Champion Becky Lynch has ignited the flames by firing shots at none other than Roman Reigns, the reigning Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. With Reigns set to headline both nights of WrestleMania 40 on April 6 and 7, Lynch’s comments have added an extra layer of intrigue to the highly anticipated event.
Reigns, hailed as one of the biggest WWE stars of all time, has enjoyed an unparalleled reign as champion, boasting a staggering 1300-plus days atop the WWE Universal Championship throne. His dominance in the squared circle has solidified his status as a force to be reckoned with, making him a formidable opponent for any challenger.
However, Lynch’s recent remarks have brought Reigns under scrutiny, particularly regarding his part-time schedule over the past two years. Speaking to TaRhonda Thomas of ABC Philly, Lynch didn’t mince words when discussing the workload of her husband Seth Rollins, Cody Rhodes, and Reigns, all of whom are slated for double duty during WrestleMania 40 weekend.
While acknowledging the challenges ahead for all wrestlers involved, Lynch singled out Reigns, suggesting that his infrequent appearances could make WrestleMania weekend particularly challenging for him. Lynch quipped, “For Roman, he’s probably doubling he’s work that he’s done over the last year because he hardly ever shows up to work. It’s going to be real tough on him.”
These comments from Lynch have sparked speculation and debate among WWE fans, with many questioning Reigns’ commitment and readiness for the grueling schedule of WrestleMania. Despite his undeniable prowess in the ring, Lynch’s words have cast a shadow of doubt over Reigns’ ability to maintain his dominance in the face of increased competition and workload.
Adding to the anticipation of WrestleMania 40 is Lynch’s own high-stakes matchup. Scheduled to challenge Rhea Ripley for the WWE Women’s World Championship on April 7, Lynch finds herself in the midst of her own quest for glory. With her sights set on championship gold, Lynch’s bold comments about Reigns serve as a strategic move to assert her presence and grab the spotlight ahead of the event.
Meanwhile, WrestleMania 40 promises to be a spectacle like no other, with Reigns set to headline both nights of the event. Night one will see The Rock and Reigns facing off against Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins, while night two will feature Reigns defending his title against Rhodes in a highly anticipated showdown.
As the countdown to WrestleMania 40 continues, the stage is set for an epic clash between wrestling titans. With Lynch’s words adding fuel to the fire, the anticipation and excitement surrounding the event have reached a fever pitch. Whether Reigns can rise to the occasion and silence his critics remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: WrestleMania 40 is shaping up to be a night to remember.
