Recently, WWE went on a tour to Europe, and had several shows across the continent. Becky Lynch was still the WWE Raw and SmackDown Women's Champion at that time. Days after the tour, a fan posted a clip from a WWE event in Liverpool, which showed Beth Phoenix trying to take one of Becky's belts. Lynch immediately snatched the belt out of her hand, and Phoenix backed away.

Later, the Hall of Famer explained her action, stating that she was just trying to help Becky carry it, to which "The Man" replied by stating that Beth Phoenix can retire herself again, or Becky could do it for her.
The off-screen rivalry between the two women could possibly be inculcated into WWE TV in the near future. Lynch and Phoenix recently had another Twitter war, which saw Becky attacking another Hall of Famer, Edge. It was later reported that Edge wasn't thrilled with Becky involving his daughter in the feud.

While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
