12 Ups & 3 Downs From Last Night's WWE SmackDown (Feb 5)
2. Your Turn, Hunter
As on-the-nose as these 'Stone Cold' parallels are, Becky Lynch's war on the McMahons has been well-played this week, and her interactions with Triple H were an awesome follow-up to her beatdown of Stephanie the night before.
The suspended 'Man' came in through the backdoor, hitting the ring via the crowd as Charlotte Flair spat her bullsh*t. It didn't take long for Triple H to arrive. He was happy to keep it all busy until Becky asked "how's Steph?" as he was leaving, and that's when things got real.
Hunter tried to put Lynch down. He claimed 'The Man' was only looking to become a martyr by refusing medical treatment, and was desperately looking for a way out of her match with Ronda Rousey. The knee injury was a "convenient excuse." Becky is terrified of what the doctors might say, because she fears Rousey, and that's when Lynch pulled the trigger, slapping 'The Game' across the face then moving in for an intense staredown.
The above will be one of the defining moments of Becky's run. Next week: Vince McMahon eats a Disarmher.
