10 Ditched Wrestling Storylines That Thankfully Never Happened
8. Becky Lynch Is Attacked In The Maternity Ward
After stepping away from all things sports entertainment to bring a child into this insane world, Becky Lynch eventually made her shocking return at SummerSlam 2021, taking Bianca Belair's SmackDown Women's Championship away in a matter of seconds.
Had 'The Man' had it her way, though, this WWE icon would have probably popped back up on TV in a far crazier way.
As Stephanie McMahon would reveal on the Bill Simmons podcast (via WrestlingInc) back in April 2021, Lynch actually pitched the idea of a storyline that would have been kicked off by her being attacked in the maternity ward, presumably not too long after giving birth to her baby.
And as Steph would joke, the Maternity Ward match would have likely been born, too.
While some may have actually preferred this mad hospital angle as the one that brought 'The Man' back around, the alternative of having Lynch wander out as a massive surprise at 'The Biggest Party of the Summer' was probably the wiser move in the end - one that unquestionably produced one of the biggest pops of the post-pandemic era.
Even if it did result in the 'EST of WWE' being completely embarrassed inside of a packed stadium.
