WWE Rumor Roundup: Injured Superstar could be out until 2021, AEW want former NXT tag champion and more – 17 December 2019

Paul Heyman wrote Becky Lynch's promo?

Becky Lynch delivered a stunning promo on Monday Night RAW last night and it was well-received by the WWE Universe. The intense promo saw her challenge Asuka to a title match and Dave Meltzer has reported that it could have been written by Paul Heyman.

The Wrestling Observer journalist claims that the promo had Heyman's fingerprints all over it as that is how his mind works. He said:

That had a lot of Heyman fingerprints on it just because of the way his mind works. So I’m pretty sure that was a Heyman scripted deal and she’s good, she delivered it well. The key to it all, when all was said and done, was Asuka came off like a big-time major star, when your champion, who is really over and is one of the hotter people in the company, goes out there and pretty much tells you that this woman has beaten me and I haven’t beaten her, in theory, it’s going to make, especially the way it was said, because when it was over, I was kind of like, ‘wow, Asuka has rehabbed right now, I don’t want to say 100% rehab, but she’s rehabbed. It was really good at getting an opponent over."
