Becky Lynch Responds To Ronda Rousey Attack, WWE Holding First Tryouts In India

Becky Lynch Responds To Ronda Rousey Attack

Last night’s episode of Monday Night RAW came to an end with Ronda Rousey attacking Becky Lynch. Lynch will face Charlotte Flair at Fastlane this weekend. If she wins, she’ll be added to Flair and Rousey’s RAW Women’s Title bout at WrestleMania 35. After cutting a promo, Rousey attacked Lynch to close out the show. Lynch took to Twitter earlier this morning to respond to “The Rowdy One’s” attack:

“Good. That’s the Ronda I want to beat at Wrestlemania. I’m on my feet today, but am I out of your head Ronnie?”
