Replacing Becky Lynch with WWE star after her apparent retirement would have helped, says veteran; should have dyed her hair red (Exclusive)

After Becky Lynch stepped away and apparently retired from in-ring competition recently, a star should have replaced her, believes a veteran. He's spoken in detail about it.

On this week's edition of the Legion of RAW, industry veteran Vince Russo talked about Lyra Valkyria and how WWE has been dropping the ball with her after Lynch endorsed her. The Man has since stepped away, and Liv Morgan and others have said that the star has retired, making it official recently through their comments.

Vince Russo spoke about how Lynch had endorsed Valkyria, which gave her the perfect chance to be her replacement. By claiming to be her replacement, Russo believes it would have turned Valkyria heel and helped build a feud should Lynch return.

He said that they had dropped the ball, and now Valkyria was just another name on the roster.

"All she had to do was slowly and surely keep talking about replacing Becky Lynch and becoming better and turning her heel that way - that's all they had to do. You know, at some point, Becky is coming back. But you know, if she called herself the new and improved Becky Lynch, bro went so far as dyeing her hair red. There's so much they could have done with her, but just another name on the roster," Russo noted. (6:26 - 6:55)

It remains to be seen if Lynch returns to the ring again.
