WWE News: Kevin Owens reacts to Becky Lynch punching him in rare footage

What's the story?

A rare footage from a wrestling event in 2006 has surfaced online, showing Becky Lynch landing a hard punch on Kevin Owens.

The fan who tweeted the video, stated that Owens deserved the punch, to which the Prizefighter responded by agreeing with him.

In case you didn't know...

Currently, Becky Lynch and Kevin Owens are two of the biggest Superstars in WWE. While Lynch is still the hottest act in the Women's division, and holds the RAW Women's title, Owens is being pushed as this generation's Stone Cold Steve Austin on the blue brand.

Fans have been clamoring for a face-off between either Austin and Lynch or The Rattlesnake and Owens at the upcoming RAW Reunion, and we just might get one of those.

The heart of the matter

Before becoming world-renowned megastars in WWE, both Becky Lynch and Kevin Owens spend a lot of time on the indie scene. A fan recently posted an incredibly rare clip from 2006, on his Twitter handle. The clip is from an overseas tour of Italy, and the event seems to be organized by an indie promotion named UIW.

The short video sees Kevin Owens competing in a multi-man match. During the contest, a young Becky Lynch can be seen coming out to interfere and unleash a series of punches on one of the wrestlers. This leads to Owens grabbing Lynch's hair from behind, which doesn't sit well with her and she proceeds to drop Owens with a thunderous right hand.

It’s true, I did. https://t.co/9dDf80OA7K

Owens noticed the video, with the fan stating that he deserved the punch. Surprisingly, Owens agreed with the fan and said that he did deserve it.

What's next?

It would be interesting to see what Lynch has to say about this video, now that Owens has commented on the same.
