Is WWE Paying Becky Lynch During Pregnancy Time-Off?
However, it was Becky Lynch who made headlines all the way overshadowing Asuka’s title win. Her fiance Seth Rollins recently joined Corey Graves on After The Bell Podcast to let his reaction know to the news and the emotional journey to fatherhood he’s been through. All the heartfelt wishes those are being poured in have melted down his heart giving him a surreal feeling,
“Pretty good man. Thank you very much. I appreciate the congratulations. I appreciate the congratulations really from from everybody. It’s been pretty overwhelming as far as positivity is concerned regarding the news, which you would hope and expect for something like this, but it’s been good man,” Rollins said. “We’re still so early in the pregnancy, so it kind of isn’t totally real.”
Top 10 Moments Of Becky Lynch’s Career Revealed By WWE
However, not everyone gave positive reactions to Becky Lynch becoming a mother at the prime time of his career. Veteran Jim Cornette sounded critical to the news.
As per his view, Becky Lynch should have waited to get pregnant because she was making so much money. Cornette and Rollins had previously worked together in the Ring of Honor promotion. So the former Universal Champion was literally shocked after hearing Cornette’s comments about his fiancée Becky Lynch.
Rollins was caught off-guard by comments from such a senior name in the circuit whom he had a previous working relationship with. He wouldn’t forgive him for making such negative comments about his future wife. But as a senior in the industry, he still has respect for him and they may reconnect down the line.
“It actually came from one of the more unlikeliest of sources, and I don’t really want to take too much time to get into it because I don’t want to focus on it, but it hurt my feelings on a personal level because Jim Cornette is someone who’s a legend in our industry.
And he’s someone that I personally worked with in my time at Ring of Honor, and for him to come out and say some real negative things, some real misogynist things about women in general and pregnancy and the industry, it kind of caught me off guard.
And it made me lose a lot of respect for someone who a lot of people had already kind of lost respect for, and I was still holding on to hope that somewhere along the line, there was a personal connection between Jim and I that he would think twice before making just some egregious comments about women, about my wife. I can’t even forgive them,” Rollins said. “I don’t even want to repeat them.” (Courtesy wrestlingINC.com)
