The Man began to change the industry with her fellow Four Horsewomen, Sasha Banks, Charlotte Flair and Bayley. In the case of The Role Model, apparently, things have been not pleasant between herself and Lynch and The Man herself has spoken about the same.
What did Becky Lynch say about her relationship with Bayley?
In a recent appearance on Variety.com, Becky Lynch spoke about her tensions with Bayley.
She recalled that things began to fall apart in 2014 when Lynch beat up the Role Model back in WWE NXT.
In 2019, Bayley attacked Lynch with a steel chair on her back that she said made her very resentful, and they had not been friendly ever since.
She said,
'That was most of our ambition,' Lynch said, referring to the Four Horsewomen's drive to dominate WWE. 'Bayley just wanted to be liked as much as possible. I beat her up in 2014, and people loved it. In 2019, she hit me in the back with a chair, and we have not been in any way friendly since.
In fact, we've been rivals in some capacity.'
The Man got some measure of revenge on Bayley in recent memory. One night before WrestleMania 41 Night 2, Bayley was found attacked in the backstage area. This ruled her out of her scheduled tag team match with Lyra Valkyria against Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship. Becky Lynch stepped in as her replacement, and she and Valkyria won the titles.

However, the duo lost the championships back to Rodriguez and Morgan on the RAW after WrestleMania 41. Lynch betrayed Valkyria and began a feud with her. In doing so, she revealed herself to be Bayley's mystery attacker. Becky Lynch recently failed to win the WWE Women's Intercontinental title from Lyra Valkyria at WWE Backlash. In the case of Bayley, it remains to be seen when she will be cleared to return to the ring and possibly go after The Man.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Earlier during the Money in the Bank event, Solo Sikoa's grip on The Bloodline has started to slip. After being betrayed by Jacob Fatu during the match, Sikoa found himself defeated and exposed, leaving the faction with just its core members, Sikoa and JC Mateo.

This heated argument and confrontation ended in a brawl, with Jimmy Uso caught in the crossfire. In response, WWE formally announced their title match for Night of Champions. Confirming about the upcoming feud between Fatu and Sikoa, WWE wrote: 'United States Champion Jacob Fatu with take on his former ally Solo Sikoa in a highly-personal title showdown at WWE Night of Champions. Although Fatu captured the United States Title, Solo seemed to feel he was superior to The Samoan Werewolf, bringing in JC Mateo without Fatu knowing and belittling the titleholder behind his back." "After Fatu overheard one of these digs, however, he had enough and ultimately cost Sikoa his opportunity to capture the Money in the Bank contract as he screamed, 'I hate you, Solo!' The WWE preview further read: 'After Solo failed in his attempt to bring Fatu back into the fold, he and Mateo launched a two-on-one assault on their former 'brother' on SmackDown, a move that brought Jimmy Uso to the ring to aid the champion and led directly to the Night of Champions title matchup.'

Did John Cena get a hair transplant? What we know so far
Image via WWE John Cena may have just won his record-breaking 17th WWE Championship, but it's his candid admission about a personal change that has the internet buzzing. Yes, the wrestling legend confirmed he underwent hair transplant surgery - and fans played a big part in that decision. John Cena confirms hair transplant surgery on live show Appearing on The Pat McAfee Show, the 47-year-old WWE icon got candid about what led him to go under the knife. According to Cena, it wasn't aging or vanity that pushed him - it was years of crowd chants, signs, and online jabs about his bald spot. 'You chant and you make me feel small and you embarrass me,' Cena told the live audience, maintaining his current heel persona. 'That is straight-up bullying... Thank you for bullying me into getting surgical hair replacement.' Cena confirmed the surgery took place in November 2024 and described it as a 'work in progress.' Explaining the process, he said, 'You take the lawn over here [pointing to the side of his head] and you put it on the dry spot.' The audience laughed, but Cena's message was clear: public scrutiny had taken a toll. The WWE Universe had long speculated about Cena's receding hairline, especially during big events like the Royal Rumble earlier this year. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Poznate kao najudobnije cipele za hodanje KUPI ODMAH Undo Cena admitted that signs mocking his hairline and fans shouting during matches pushed him to make the decision. 'I can't control a genetic problem. But I try to fix it,' Cena said, noting that he won't reveal the clinic that performed the surgery until he sees the final results. 'Once it gets better and I've got the long flowing locks, I'll be like, 'Yo, go to this guy.'' Interestingly, Cena also joked about his ongoing facial hair woes, admitting he still can't grow a decent mustache - something he might need another transplant for. The timing of Cena's revelation is notable. Just 24 hours earlier, he became the first-ever 17-time world champion in WWE history after defeating Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41, with some help from Travis Scott. While the wrestling world was busy celebrating the milestone, Cena used the moment to bring attention to a different, more personal battle. In true Cena fashion, he ended on a hopeful note.
