10 Amazing Comparisons Between Becky Lynch And Stone Cold Steve Austin
8. Following Through
1996: Though his character is changing from generic heel to dynamic sh*tkicker, Austin's pay-per-view appearances don't particularly reflect it at the time. He's left off the SummerSlam main card entirely, and reduced to cutting a promo at follow-on event Mind Games. It's there he's given time to sh*t on Bret Hart ahead of 'The Hitman's WWE comeback the following night. After causing chaos at the gun-toting Brian Pillman's house, Austin cements his recent success with a match-of-the-year candidate against Bret Hart. It's the night all the potential from the past few months is finally realised. Austin is made.
2018: Determined to maintain the character alignments they originally anticipated rather than the ones they later received, WWE have heel Becky Lynch bail on her Super Show-Down Championship scrap with Charlotte to force a final battle at Evolution. Forced to have her actions speak as loud as her words, 'The Man' levels up so far she advances beyond 'The Queen' herself. The match is the best on the night, best singles women's match of the year and an arguable contender for best women's match in company history. Lynch is made.
