In recent weeks, Kevin Nash has made headlines, having stated on his podcast that the wrestling business has passed Becky Lynch by, claiming, “She’s grasping at desperation.” And now, while discussing her segment with CM Punk from last week’s episode of Raw, which saw the Irish wrestler repeatedly slap the former AEW star, Nash has likened this to witnessing “domestic abuse,” and called it the wrong type of heat.
38-year-old Lynch has been part of WWE since 2013, yet while she was not initially seen as a star, she would ultimately become one of the first women to headline a WrestleMania, cementing her main event status. Still, at the moment, she appears focused on establishing the women’s Intercontinental Championship, typically seen as a midcard title, as something meaningful. Additionally, she has reunited with her real-life husband, Seth Rollins, on screen, continuing his long-running feud with CM Punk, a focal point of WWE television.
