Hello there my very good friends, on today's wrestling news I'm going to tell you the

0:12.4

real reason WWE turned Becky Lynch heel. The Miz and Morrison split on Monday night

0:19.1

Raw, going to tell you how CM Punk's AEW debut did in terms of ratings, and I'm going

0:25.7

to tell you the real reason Kofi Kingston isn't on TV at the moment. I'm Adam Wilbon,

0:31.1

and I'm Andy Murray, and this is The News. And we're going to kick things off by talking

0:36.4

about Becky Lynch, which we did on two separate news videos yesterday, and we're going to

0:40.1

do on at least one today, but a new bit of information surrounding her summer slam

but Becky's obviously very skilled and we'll see how she's able to do with it and how

1:31.1

she's received on Smackdown this week. But it's quite interesting, isn't it? Because

1:34.9

she came out like the conquering hero, she's happy, she's fired up, and yes, she was

1:39.2

a bit of an asshole in the match, like with a handshake and everything else, and just

1:43.0

destroying Bianca, but afterwards she was all smiles and ever, she wasn't behaving like

1:47.6

much of a villain before and after the match itself. So it's interesting to learn this,

1:53.7

maybe Becky just wants to do something new after being the bulk hero for so long, but

1:59.2

you know, it's going to take a pretty great segment on this week's Smackdown to convince
