10 Dumbest Decisions Made By Seemingly Intelligent Wrestlers
9. Becky Lynch Agrees To Defend Both Titles On The Same Night
Becky Lynch is a clever and confident cat.
They're two of her defining attributes and they help separate her from a pack of often faceless stars in her own division.
Her distinct initiative was on display for the world to see when she took advantage of Lana's injury and entered the 2019 women's Royal Rumble match at number 28, before going on to win the whole thing. Also, her equally bullish tendencies have justifiably seen her compared to one 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin and also paved the way for her incredible double title win at WrestleMania 35.
Yet, this overzealous energy in wanting to take on all challengers and cement herself as 'The Man' of WWE has led to her downfall on a few occasions.
Most notably after Lynch's epic victory on the Grandest Stage, when instead of picking her moments to defend her titles, she instead opted to take on more than she could manage and agreed to defend both belts on the same night at Money in the Bank 2019.
Defiant as ever, Lynch proclaimed that she didn't care about the odds of her successfully retaining both belts, stating that she wouldn't be stood where she was if she did. As true as that statement may have been it still didn't aid her in keeping hold of all the women's singles gold.
Lynch would defend against Charlotte Flair and Lacey Evans and despite besting Evans (thus keeping hold of her red belt) she could do nothing to stop the 'Sassy Southern Belle' interfering in her follow-up bout. This inevitably led to Lynch losing her blue belt and also acted as one of the dumbest decisions in Lynch's back catalogue.
